Another day, another football competition! This time, it was the turn of our Year 6 boys, taking part in a tournament we haven't entered for eight years! We headed to the impressive Stoneham Lane Football Complex with eight excited ballers, ready to take on the Southampton Schools 6-a-side Tournament. Unlike other events, this was a straight knockout competition, meaning our afternoon would be shaped by the results. The boys equipped themselves brilliantly. In their first three games, they won one and lost the other two by the narrowest of margins, with both defeats coming from literally the final kick of the game. So, so unlucky! 😩 But, as we've said before, winning is easy; dealing with disappointment is often the hardest challenge of all. And how well these boys handled it. 👏 Although they didn't make it through to the knockout stages, they bounced back to win their final game 6–2, finishing on a high despite the understandable disappointment. Throughout the afternoon, every player gave their all and, crucially, never once gave up. 🌟 Plenty of individual highlights, too! Josh was outstanding taking as much pleasure in setting up teammates as he did scoring himself; Louis a constant menace (in the nicest possible way!), and Ethan Mr Consistency on pitch AND in goal. Lockie scored a beautiful volley, Cooper was a colossus in defence, Keelan entertained us with his flicks and tricks, and Theo showed off those dancing feet. And then there was Luke, who nearly knocked himself out with a towering header... (You're not supposed to head it, Luke! 😂) There were so many winning moments beyond the results: resilience, teamwork, determination and a willingness to keep going when things didn't go their way. A real pleasure to be part of. Heads held high, boys! You did Calmore proud. 💙 Well done, Team Calmore! 👏
