Year 6 Football Squad Unveils New Kits and Kicks Off the Season in Style!

Year 6 were the first to proudly model our brand new football kits, generously sponsored by M Hannon Builders, Vass Tech, and John Dennis 4x4. A huge thank you to our sponsors for their incredible support!

The children played their first match against our local neighbours, Green Ridge Primary Academy, hosted at Whitchurch Combined School. We were especially delighted to include Mollie, who, in my eight years at Whitchurch, is the first girl to represent the school in the mixed league—a fantastic milestone!

The Whitchurch Warriors took to the pitch for the first half, with Albie making a series of outstanding saves. The half ended 1–3 to Green Ridge, but not before Otto scored an absolute screamer from the far touchline—undoubtedly the goal of the match!

In the second half, the Whitchurch Wanderers stepped up, battling hard but finishing 0–3 to Green Ridge. Despite the final result and exiting the Cup Competition, every player showed passion, integrity, and joy throughout.

A big thank you to Mr Waite for refereeing, and congratulations to Albie, who was named Player of the Match by Green Ridge.

The Year 6 squad will now officially divide into the Whitchurch Warriors and Whitchurch Wanderers, with a few talented Year 5s joining the ranks, as they begin their league campaign in the coming weeks.

Well done, team — onwards and upwards!

Mr Soar
