Medway Secondary School Games: Girls Football Tournament
Thursday 4 March 2010
Kicks Soccer Centre, Strood

The Medway Secondary School Games kicked off with some more exciting action at the Girls Football tournament, held at Kicks Soccer Centre, Strood Sports Centre on Thursday 4 March 2010. Nearly 100 girls from 8 different Medway Secondary schools competed in the tournament.

8 Medway Secondary Schools competed on the day, which included a Year 8/9 and Year 10/11 tournament. In the Year 8/9 tournament teams were split into 2 groups of 4 teams with the top 2 teams progressing to the Semi Finals. Group A was a tight affair with Chatham South topping the group on 7 points and Rainham School for Girls just qualifying for the semi finals ahead of Thomas Aveling school by 1 point. Group B was dominated by Rainham Mark Grammar School who reached the semi finals with a 100% record, unfortunately for them they found Rainham School for Girls too strong in semi finals and had to settle for 3rd Place by beating The Hundred of School for the second time. The final was contested between Chatham South and Rainham School for Girls, both teams could not be separated in the group stages where they drew 2-2, and the final did not disappoint for excitement with Chatham South winning a thrilling game 5-3.

In the Year 10/11 tournament schools played in a round robin league format where Walderslade Girls B team caused a huge upset with winning the league from St John Fisher RC Comprehensive School. Walderslade Girls A team finished 3rd.

The Fairplay award went to The Hundred of Hoo School, it is crucial that young people are introduced to sport in a friendly, positive environment and that they are encouraged to accept victory and defeat with equal grace. It is important that they learn to show consideration and respect towards opponents, teammates and officials, as well as to the rules and conventions of the different sports.

There was a very friendly atmosphere and schools participated in a co-operative spirit of competition. The final positions were:

YEAR 8/9 Tournament

Position School
1 Chatham South School
2 Rainham School for Girls
3 Rainham Mark Grammar School
4 The Hundred of Hoo School

YEAR 10/11 Tournament
