As it was a Cup game and getting quite dark the game when straight to Penalties , after Ahmed saved the first and Charlie & wasir scored to lead 2-1 the Thomas Arnold then made 3 great saves and saw his side win 3-2 – it was a great game of football played in the right spirit with the boys shaking hands and congratulating each other at the end  - we wish Thomas Arnold all the best in the next round.

On Wednesday 10^th October Southwood Primary School made the short trip to Valence to play a local Friendly game of Football for Yr6 boys. Southwood kicked off and conceded a goal within the first few minutes but played our way back into the game and scored a couple of goals before half time from Noah & Monabi to lead 2-1 at the break – Valence scored 2 goals straight after half time to lead 3-2 but we never gave up and Monabi scored his second to level 3-3 and with a couple of minutes to go Charlie scored to win the game 4-3

Mr Stevens quoted ‘’ it was a bit scrappy at first but we tried playing passing football and got better and better as the game went on ‘’ – He was very happy with the ‘’Team’’ performance as was My Raybe who was delighted with us on how we played
