Hi, I’m Toby Edghill and I’m writing
about the Year 8 football team
I love playing football so I went to training as normal but there
were only four of us. We were quite cross as we couldn’t play
a game, but we did training by practising our dribbling and
passing skills. Then we practised our shooting and finished off
with a game of crossbar challenge.
I was concerned that only four of us had turned up, so the
next day, in tutor time, I went round and asked everyone if
they wanted to come to football. The majority of the boys
said yes.
Next training I turned up and there were lots more boys.
I was pleased that most boys wanted to contribute to the
team. Even more excitement! Mr Day told us that we had
a fixture coming up against Sir William Romney School.
Everyone was happy and we had 14 players in our squad.
We arrived at Sir William Romney all excited with lots of
banter and cheerfulness. After we had warmed up, Nathan
Marks won the toss for kick-off. We conceded two goals
at first but got back to 2 -2 by half time. In the second half
we upped our game and scored another 8 goals. I scored 5,
