A fearless group of Y3 girls (plus one!) bravely headed into the unknown at the Bath Arsenal Tournament this weekend. After entering what we thought was a girls' tournament, we found out shortly before that is was if fact a boys' tournament (or 'mixed' as the organisers called it!), and an experienced boys' tournament at that.
Undeterred we set off armed only with a big bag of Haribo, and a ringer in the form of Joseph who had bravely agreed to come and play in goal for us.
We need not have worried. Whilst the results predictably went against us, a couple of matches were tight, and the girls football improved as the day progressed, with some fine tackling, running and passing. All in all we enjoyed some great match practice and the sun shone throughout!
Credit must also go to the coaches and players of the teams we faced, who were, without exception, all respectful and encouraging of the girls participation in the tournament.
Looks like we might have to travel even further if we are to find an all girls tournament, Oxford sounds promising!!!
