Crowton Football Team in Winning Form

Crowton PrimarySchool  Football Team enjoyed a great match against Great Budworth on Thursday evening.

In a game that saw 15 players take part in a match of 4 quarters,  the team ran out 7-6 winners, although no one really took any notice of the score, as they delighted in seeing some fantastic sporting behaviour.

The match was played 6 -a-side due to Great Budworth's numbers, so the team was changed on a regular basis with all players given lots of opportunities to show their skills and enjoy some excellent team play. Joe  started as goalkeeper but tried his hand at defender too with Riley, Matty and Ellie A also performing well between the posts!

The team even had the chance to play a period as an all girls team (apart from Joe who took up his place in goal) and never conceded a goal against a strong team. Pamela,  Ellie T, Ellie A, Lily J and Lily F doing an excellent job during that passage of play.

Ben scored a fabulous hat trick in the game, but it was Louie who scored ' goal of the day' with a superb header!  Bobby was solid all over the pitch, and Alex was excellent in midfield with some surging runs.  Beau, Jude and Frank defended soundly throughout and were strong at the back.

We look forward to the return game, which we hope will be as evenly contested next half term.
