CHURCHER’S College Junior School have held their annual under-11 football tournament.

The Churcher’s A team finished third, and the Churcher’s B team finished fifth. Having held the Churcher’s A team to a draw in the first match, the B team shook the hands of eventual winners Portsmouth Grammar School after losing to them. By finishing fifth, the B team had done better than any B team had in the tournament before.

Coach and teacher Mr Daniel said: “To me this is what sport should be, played with passion and dedication with the underlying message of good sportsmanship. The boys were over the moon with their result and so they should be. In my A-level lessons I teach that Olympism is competing in the spirit of sportsmanship with the emphasis on taking part rather than winning and the B team in my eyes encapsulated this on the day. Well done boys.”
