Football Tournament

On Wednesday, Bitterne Manor entered 2 teams into a 6 a side tournament. We were the only school to enter an all girls team and other coaches and teachers were cheering our girls on too.
There were 32 teams in all. The children enjoyed a day of football with the boys team reaching the quarter finals! We were a strong team, winning our group with lots of outstanding play and goals. We were finally only knocked out on penalties. Well Done to all for effort and excellent behavior.
Other schools commented on our teams and have been requested to have friendly games.
