Our Astounding Footballers


A huge, hearty well done to our girls' football team who competed so brilliantly at the Girls' Football Borough Final at Powerleague on Tuesday. Despite the cold, damp weather everyone gave 100% on the pitch and we all had a great day.

After a useful coaching session in the morning, the team played a series of matches through the rest of the day, scoring enough points to make it through to an exciting semi-final, which they coasted through, and a final match against Woodley, who played superbly to win the competition. Our girls were thrilled to take the second place spot, and are determined to return next year and go one better!

Thank you and well done once again to all the players who came along to represent St John's - you all behaved and competed brilliantly and it was a pleasure to take you along.

Thank you also to the competition organisers, and to the parents who helped with lifts or came along to the show their support. Big thanks also, of course, go to our coaches, Clayton and Kelly, both of whom have done lots of work with the girls over the last few months.

Just a reminder that our girls' football club is open to ALL girls from Year 3 to Year 6 and happens after school every Monday, from 3:15 to 4:30. Subs are £2 each week. We're hoping to organise more matches against other Stockport schools for the new year, so let's try and get even more of our girls involved in football at school!
