I had the pleasure of seeing our football team compete on Saturday morning in the Nottinghamshire Schools competition. They were truly incredible in their attitude and team effort, equalled only by their precision in passing the ball. Below is the write-up of the morning's events from Mrs Pailing the team manager and coach. Well done to everyone involved, including all the parents and supporters who were noticeably very vocal in their support from the side lines! ⚽⚽⚽ Mrs Parnell

Saturday morning saw Greasley Beauvale's football team compete in the 7-a-side regional finals at Sutton Lawns. The team started their campaign within the group stages in all three games the team played great football, our keeper was on top form with some amazing saves, defence were solid and battled well with fantastic runs down the wings and great battling in midfield which lead to some great goals from our strikers.

With two draws and a win we finished winners of our group. 

Onto a tense semi-final where a late equaliser came from Greasley who never gave up. This saw us go into a penalty shootout successfully hitting the back of the net with every penalty taken 4-2 to Greasley Beauvale. 

On to the final. We took on a very good side from Newark. Again, Greasley stepped up and gave everything they had left seeing us take the lead but it wasn't meant to be, with the game ending 3-1 to Coddington. This meant we were runners-up.  What a great achievement!

I'm so proud of the team and honoured to be part of this. 

Goal scorers: Thomas, Rowan and Lucas. 

Penalties: Harrison, Jake, Thomas and Henry J. 

I would just like to thank the parents for all your support and taking time out of your weekend to bring the team along to represent Greasley Beauvale, the cheering and encouragement from the side lines was amazing. 

Mrs Pailing.
