To begin the tournament, Priory Fields team A played against St Martin’s on pitch 1 and on pitch 2 we had Vale View against Priory Fields team B. The teams showed fantastic stamina and strength throughout the two thirty-minute games. During the drink breaks teams had the chance for team discussions, change in formation settings and for player positions to be re-arranged. During the second round of the games, we saw the fantastic Priory Fields A team play against the super Priory Fields B team. Whilst on pitch 2 we had the brilliant St Martin’s team play against the excellent Vale View team.
