On Monday 28th March, girls from across Norwich took part in our Yr 5-6 Girls Football Competition at the Sportspark.
The competition aimed to give more girls the opportunity to represent their school in a competitive football matches against girls from other local schools.
The competition was held as part of our work as an FA Girl’s Football School Partnership. The national programme aims to give girls equal access to football in schools by 2024.
Teams from the following schools entered the competition.
- Mulbarton Primary School
- Hethersett VC Primary School
- Cringleford Primary School
- Colman Junior School
- Bignold Primary School
- Bluebell Primary School
- Charles Darwin Primary
- Valley Primary Academy
Teams were initially split into four groups, with teams in each group playing against each other in a round robin format. Then, the teams that finished 1st or 2nd in each group progressed into a Cup competition, whilst the teams that finished 3rd or 4th went into a Plate competition. Both the Cup and plate competitions were split into two groups with teams again playing against each other within their group.
All matches were refereed by female sports leaders from Hethersett Academy and Jane Austen College.
At the end of the Cup and Plate stages, the teams that finished in the same place in each group played off for overall position. Once all of the matches were completed we announced the following overall results.
