As we previous fixtures, and I am sure you will want to support, please can the children be taken to Poolfoot Farm for the tournaments. I know you will work together for this - any problems with transport, please do let me know.

Information from the organiser:

  • Games will be two halves of 6 minutes. In the knock out stages, teams will play a 3 minute one way golden goal game for which a re-toss and deciding of kick off or chosen end will take place. Should the game still be a draw then the game will go to penalties from 3 nominated players of each team moving on the alternate penalty kicks if required.

  • There will be gaps between games to eat lunch so please note that we will not be having a scheduled lunch, this will be at your discretion as to when lunch will be eaten.

  • Please remember that win, loose or draw, the conduct of you, your players and parents will be on show to all. All games will be refereed by young leaders, please support them and respect the invaluable role they play!

  • The highest finishing Wyre Primary School will go on to represent Wyre at the Lancashire Schools Finals (7 a side and 10 in a squad) as well as representing Fleetwood Football Community Trust in the next round of the Premier League Primary Starts Football Cup. The highest finishing Fylde school will go on to represent Fylde at the Lancashire Schools Finals.

The children will need to be in full Our Lady football kit - Mr Nay will be with you for the tournament day. Please ensure that you have enough lunch and drinks with you for the event.

All games are 7 a side with a squad of 10 and the "no heading rule" to be adopted.

All events take place at Poolfoot Farm Sport & Leisure Complex, Thornton-Cleveleys.

The highest finishing Wyre team and highest finishing Fylde team from these events (except the B Team competition) will progress to the Lancashire County Finals.

Transport for these events is becoming incredibly expensive so we are asking our parents and families of the children to support by taking them too the event if possible. The Football Blue team will go straight to Poolfoot on Friday 6th November - Mr Nay will meet you there. The other teams will come into school first and be collected from school for the event. Towards half term, I will contact the Blue team regarding transport for the event.


MATCH CONDUCT

For all matches, school PE kits need to be worn. The footballers will be given a football kit to wear which needs to be returned after the game. Netballers will be given a skirt to wear - school navy PE tops to be worn with it.

As an association of schools, we have come together to establish a code of conduct for all players, parents and staff. Please read the following information so you are ready to support your child at each fixture. No scores are collected or reported - we want the children to be proud to represent the school and to have fun!
