Yesterday, our football team played away at Palmers Cross Primary School in their latest fixture. Despite a strong start from the hosts, SSPP made a breakaway and Victor took it past a few players before scoring from 30 yards! Lamine then made a string of excellent saves to keep it 1-0 at half time.

SSPP started the second half strongly and had a few attacks, with their goalkeeper making a wonderful double save from Victor. As the pressure from Palmers Cross grew, they eventually got the goal their performance deserved to make it 1-1. Then in the final few minutes, Palmers Cross were awarded a very soft penalty for handball, which they scored and they ended up winning 2-1.

I couldn’t be more proud of our players’ performances and more importantly their attitude. Win or lose, our children always show outstanding respect to the other team and the referee, something which we have not always witnessed from other schools! Well done everyone!

A special mention to Nolan, who in his first game put in a player of the match performance in defence!
