Football Festival Fun

The St Andrew’s Prep sports field was awash with children and their parents on Saturday afternoon as more than 300 boys and girls, aged 7-10 years old, representing 30 teams from local primary schools and football clubs, gathered for the sixth St Andrew’s Prep Football Festival.

With the emphasis on enjoyment and skill development, each team played a number of mini-matches on the school pitches at the foot of the South Downs. There were no winners or losers but every child received a medal and certificate for their determined efforts. Support was passionate from the side-lines and energetic and enthusiastic teamwork was evident on each of the football pitches. Outstanding performances were noted by the many teachers, FA approved coaches and officials present.
