Prep Football Team Head to Nationals
On Tuesday 4 October 2022, Woodbridge School Prep Year 6 football team travelled to Hertfordshire to compete in the IAPS U11 Football qualifiers. After a long journey on the minibus, Woodbridge began the matches in a pool of four teams, playing three games.
From these games two were won and one was drawn, a great start to the day putting Woodbridge at the top of the group, making sure the team progressed to the quarter-finals.
The last match of the day proved to be the team’s most important result, a 1-1 draw at full time was a brilliant result given they were down early on in the match; they went on to play a golden goal period. A goal in the top corner of the net secured the team’s victory, putting them through to the semi-final stage.
With only four teams going through to the National Finals, from the 19 teams that started the day, Woodbridge School Prep had made it and were through to play in the finals in Millfield late November.
As well as the victory, Woodbridge School Prep Year 6 football team were a credit to the School, playing their part in competing in the right spirit, with the right amount of effort and skill; matching all teams played on the day.
