SPORTING FIXTURES

Fixtures 

This term, our Muntham blues started the term on outings back to Long Lane JFC to play in the South London Special League. The following fixtures were played: 

South London Special League - Wednesday 28th September 

Muntham’s football season kicked off with a trip up to Long Lane JFC for the U16’s Football Tournament. The pupils were all very excited and looked forward to getting out on the pitch.  

They played five games across the day, drawing two and losing three. There was some very tough opposition, with some games being good physical battles, which the Muntham pupils didn’t shy away from.  

Our only goal of the day was scored by Alfie G - a great finish into the bottom corner.

The player of the fixture went to Stan and he was also awarded the Fair Play Award by the South London Special League referee. Stan’s effort, encouragement and sportsmanship throughout the day were amazing. 

South London Special League - Wednesday 5th October  

It was the U14’s turn to make the trip up to Long Lane JFC.  

The team played four games on the day, winning two and losing two. Pupils put in some great performances in all games, and even when things were not going their way, they encouraged each other right until the end, keeping morale levels high. The team showed brilliant sportsmanship throughout the day. In addition, Mutham scored some excellent goals with multiple players getting onto the score sheet.  

The player of the fixture went to Kion S. Leading the team as captain, he was an outstanding role model and mentor to the rest of the team throughout the day. 

South London Special League - Wednesday 20th October  

Post-16 took their turn to make the trip up to Long Lane JFC for their first fixture of the season.  

The team played three games on the day, winning two and drawing one, which put them top of the league table and overall winners of the fixture. The pupils showed incredible determination throughout and played some excellent football against some strong opposition in all their games including clawing back to score a draw after being two goals down. The team also went above and beyond by showing excellent sportsmanship and compassion by including four additional players in the squad from South London with severe learning disabilities. Brilliant! 

Taylor came away as the top goal scorer of the day, with Alfie scoring the goal of the fixture from a goal kick! Stan was awarded the Fair Play Award by the South London Special League referee for the second time this season for his unrelenting effort throughout.  

The player of the fixture went to Dexter for his outstanding determination and for being an excellent role model of inclusion. High-quality stuff!
