KS3 INTER HOUSE INDOOR 5-A-SIDE FOOTBALL
Inter House sports events are a great way to get students involved in some friendly competitive sport. It’s always great to see as many students as possible involved with all CDC groups represented.
Year 7
Overview :
A very positive turn out for year 7’s very first Interhouse football competition There were lots of players involved which is always a positive. The football was played in a league format where all teams played each other once. All teams passed the ball around well however there were not a lot of goals due to the outstanding defending being displayed by various teams. A lot of teams could have won it however, Maple came out on top winning the competition by a single goal!

Year 8
Overview :
A very competitive tournament saw 25 boys take part with a League format, Semi-Finals and an outright Final deciding the winners. After the League format the semi-finals saw 8ASH taking on the combined OAK/ELM/WILLOW team. Ash completed a deserved 1-0 win. In semi-final two 8MAPLE defeated the combined BEECH/SYCAMORE team 2-0. This left the two best teams in the tournament to play out a very keenly contested Final which was eventually won 2-0 by 8ASH with goals from N Cunningham and J Muraj.

It is essential that students have the full correct PE kit for all lessons. This includes shinpads and black /yellow socks when participating in football lessons and also a pair of white sports socks for all other activities. Students will be reminded when activities change. Students not bringing the correct kit will instantly receive consequence points.
Girls should be wearing plain black shorts which are longer than the length of their PE shirt or hoody. Leggings should be black sports leggings and not see through. Black tracksuit bottoms are also permitted.
ALL jewellery should be removed prior to the start of the lesson, including earrings, and hair should be tied up.
