Years 8 & 9 Boys and Girls Futsal Competitions

Late January 2012

The end of January saw two further Futsal Competitions take place in Stafford.
The Year 8 & 9 boys were first up and hosted by Sir Graham Balfour School. After a number of exciting and tense matches Sir Graham Balfour were crowned champions with Weston Road Academy becoming runners-up.

Five teams competed in the girls competition two days later in the week. Once again the event provided great entertaiment and terrific skill. Weston Road Academy were overall winners and remained undefeated in all their matches. Both Walton Priory and Sir Graham Balfour schools were tied for second place.

Sir Graham Balfour boys team and Weston Road Academy Girls team will now progress to the Staffordshire final taking place at Fenton Manor later this month.

Steve Glover, Partnership Development Manager said, "The concluding Futsal competitions were once again played in a great spirit. It was great to see so many young people take part. I wish all our teams the best in the county finals this month."

The recent competions were part of the National School Games initiative and partly organised by Staffordshire Football Association. Referees were provided by Stafford College and Staffordshire University.
