INTERSCHOOLS SOCCER TOURNAMENT - Updated 20 JUNE 2016

Football fever gripped Wentworth Primary last week as our Years 5/6 squad, the Wentworth Tigers, set off to play in the Rodney Interschools Soccer Tournament. Our team was a new entity containing a mix of experienced players and novices, who had only a couple of training sessions together before the big day. Nevertheless, they were determined to do their best and enthusiastically took to the pitch for the group matches. As there was no mixed league this year, our team was in the Boys ‘B’ League, playing Warkworth 1 (loss), Stanmore Bay (loss) and Silverdale (win). They also played against Kingsway Thunder, a team from the Boys ‘A’ League and beat them (2-1) in a tough match. Although the Tigers did not qualify for the semi-finals, the team grew stronger and stronger with each game and it was exciting to see each player develop their skills and strategies over the course of the day. Congratulations to all our wonderful players and a huge thank you to the College students who coached our team during lunchtimes.
Wentworth Tigers: Mia Clark, Mikayla Cousins, Raphael Day, Annie Duncan, Austin McAlpine, Liam Phillipps, Maddie Rist, Charlotte Sancto-Jones, Bridie Smith and William Turton.
