Year 7 Boys Futsal Competition

18th January 2012

The annual Stafford and Stone School Sport Partnership Futsal competitions kicked off this week with the Year 7 boys competition.
Eight teams entered, representing 7 schools across the district.
The competition was a closely fought event from start to finish with a lot of games ending in a draw or only one goal seperating teams.
Four teams eventually made it through to the semi finals - King Edward VI, Weston Road, Walton Priory and Blessed William Howard.    Two tense matches saw Weston Road and Blessed Wililam Howard successful and progression into the final.

The final once again was extremely close.  At full time the score was 1-1 and also the same after extra time.  Weston Road Academy proved eventual winners on penalties and will progress to the county final at Fenton Manor in February.

Winners - Weston Road

Steve Glover, Partnership Development Manager said, "It was a pleasure to be a part of such a great competition.  The standard of competition and sportsmanship was excellent and schools should be very proud of their pupils.  The event was truly a partnership event and I would like to thanks Staffordshire Football Association for thier organisation, Stafford College for providing volunteer refs and Weston Road Academy for hosting.  In all over 90 boys took part in the competition."
