On Tuesday 8th March, the Wardley football team took part in the Newcastle United foundation football tournament held at Complete Football in Gosforth. In total 23 teams from around the North-East took part. It was a group stage, then finals format, with the winners and two best runners-up going through. Despite finishing second in our group, and scoring an amazing 23 goals in 3 games, the boys narrowly missed out on a place in the quarter finals on goal difference. Everyone played fantastically well, with Brad Lowery scoring 9 goals in one match, a triple hat-trick!! It was a great day and a fantastic experience for the team. As Rhys Prudhoe said, "it was a beautiful day for the beautiful game!" We now look forward to the finals of the 5-a-side Gateshead tournament on 23rd March at the leisure centre and the return of the schools 7-a-side league the following day....a busy period for the football team!
