What a great way to end the week! 12 teams made their way to Tooting & Mitcham FC for our 2nd annual NFL Flag Football Championships.
Credit goes to every child who took part today. Many schools have only been playing the sport for 18 months now, so to see such a high standard of play all day is a testament to all of them, as well as the coaches and teachers that have been working behind the scenes.
Results (teams listed in place order)
Group A – BG Eagles, BG Ravens, St. John Fisher, St. Thomas OC
Group B – St. Mary’s Bears, Malmesbury, St. Mary’s Lions, The Priory
Group C – Hollymount, Poplar, SSPP, All Saints
Semi Finals – BG Eagles beat Poplar and Hollymount beat St. Mary’s Bears
Bronze Medal Playoff – St. Mary’s Bears beat Poplar
Final – BG Eagles beat Hollymount
Congratulations to Bishop Gilpin who successfully defended their title! St. Peter and Paul were today’s clear REFSPECT winners, so well done to them too.
A few special mentions – First to James, Will and Victor for stepping in at such short notice this week to referee our games. They provided the children with coaching tips along the way too, which will no doubt help them on their Flag Football journeys
Second to Amelia, our work experience student who completed her placement with us at this event. She has approached every task this week with maximum effort and enthusiasm. Today she played a key role in the fixture schedule and the presentation. Well done Amelia!
