Y4/5 Football Match

A group of our Y4/5 children took part in the Walters Cup competition for children in year 5 or below. We played Hemmingford Grey at their school on 15th January 2025. It was an extremely close game. Hemmingford took the lead in the first half and it remained that way for most of the game. Great Paxton were pushing for the equaliser but conceded right at the end, making the final score 2-0 to Hemmingford.

Well done to all the team, the first time this group have played together!

Girl’s Football Match

On the 5^th December 2024, we played our first ever competitive girls football match.

Following several friendlies last year, we decided to enter a cup competition this year called the Henson Cup. We got a bye in round one and were drawn against Stukeley Meadows in the 2^nd round. It was amazing to see so many girls try out for this school team (over 20+) and we were able to pick 10 to play.

The match itself was absolutely fantastic! It was a 5-goal thriller where we scored all the goals – 3 in the correct end and two own goals. Therefore winning 3-2 and advancing to round 3. The performance, effort and attitude of the team was amazing, especially considering we were playing a much larger school. Most importantly, they all had fun. Well-done girls and I look forward to our next match!

School Football Match

Following on from the girls match the previous week, the school football team played their first game of the season on the 16^th December 2024 against Little Paxton in the Dickenson Cup 2^nd round. We were fortunate (again) to have a bye in round one.

We were clear second favourites for the match as Little Paxton are a large school in comparison and had already beaten Crosshall in round one. Their team were amazing. However, what a performance our team put in. It was the best team performance I have ever seen since being at Great Paxton. We won the game 3-2. It was an inspirational game to watch and the team were ecstatic at the final whistle. Truly deserved though and again, I look forward to our next match in round 3.
