Year 4 children strutted their stuff on the Tanbridge astroturf tonight. 11 teams came together and Southwater came away with the main honours.
Southwater made an inauspicious start with a goalless draw versus Heron Way but after that they went into overdrive with big wins over Leechpool B and Pulborough ensuring their progress to the second stage top tier on goal difference over the Herons.
The other groups also needed goal difference to decide their top positions, St Mary’s Horsham eding out Kingslea in Group B and Shelley doing similar over Leechpool A in the smaller Group C.
So an interesting top tier collective came together – usual suspects Southwater with unusual suspects St Mary’s and Shelley. However as the results rolled in familiarity returned as Southwater prevailed with 5-2 and 2-1 wins respectively over St Mary’s and Shelley. Shelley took second with a single goal victory over the Saints.
Tier 2 brought some of the big beasts together in the same cage. Leechpool A rose to that challenge well with two big wins. Castlewood won a tighter Tier 3 with two victories also. In the two-team Tier 4 St Robert Southwell beat Leechpool B decisively.
Next Friday the Year 3s take the stage at Tanbridge.
