We have a winner!

Cameron with the cupUnbridled joy abounded at Cranmore school this weekend when the lad took to the field for his first ever football tournament. The Donhead year 1 side came through the group stage unbeaten and having conceded only one goal and put 4 past one unfortunate opposition. 

A pretty convincing semi-final win over the Millbourne set up a nervy final with the Rokeby A side who had an impressive record to that point. A sturdy performance saw the opposition pinned back for much of the match but the Donhead defence maintained their shape to cope with a few counter-attacking breaks.

Suffice to say, the mighty Donhead prevailed with a 2-1 win and much slightly-embarrassing parental jumping up and down ensued. After much clapping and quite a few photos (see above) we eventually went home puffing with pride and full of glee. Well done to all the boys - an excellent achievement and much fun for us too!
