Bar Hill Primary School secure Stoke City Football Club visit in National Finals




Bar Hill Primary School’s 7-a-side football team finished as runners-up in the South-East Regional Schools’ Finals, securing their place in the National Finals at Stoke City FC’s stadium next month.

The squad of 10 Year 5 and 6 players travelled to the regional tournament in Sporting Thamesmead, in London, to compete against the top primary school teams from across the south east.

And they started strongly with a 3-1 win in their opening match thanks to two goals from Alex Mickevics and one from Frankie Houston.

Their second match against Sunnymeade Primary ended in a 1-1 draw, with Mickevics scoring another goal, this time from a free-kick. A hard-fought 0-0 draw followed against The Disraeli School in Buckinghamshire, which secured Bar Hill’s position as Group A leaders.

An impressive performance from goalkeeper Oscar Chetwyn saw Bar Hill beat Wolfson Hillel School in the semi-finals, before they drew 0-0 with St Mary’s Primary in the finale.

Head teacher Charlotte Linden said: “We are incredibly proud of our children for their outstanding performance.

“Their teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship have been truly inspiring, and securing a place in the national finals is a fantastic achievement.”
