Inter-school football competition returned to the Horsham primary schools network tonight as year 5/6 teams convened in the first of two league meetings. 18 teams were split equally between two leagues: one for large school first teams, and another for small school teams and large school second teams.
Some super football ensued. Kingslea Green lead the large schools league with three wins and a draw, just in front of Southwater who they beat 1-0 in an exciting match. Steyning A and St Mary’s Pulborough lead the chasing pack of teams. Good to see North Heath making their debut in this annual process, not scoring a win but getting two creditable scoreless draws.
Plaistow/Kirdford and St Robert Southwell both made maximal starts to their campaign but the former sit top on goal difference. No guessing what will be the big match in that section in the second meeting in two weeks’ time. Leechpool B sit in third with 12 points just in front of a phalanx of teams tied on 10 points.
