The match took place on 21^st October 1999 at 3:40 p.m. The conditions of the playing field were cold, damp, rainy and soggy underfoot. Our football captain was Edward Robinson from Yr6. We are proud to have two girls in our team named Victoria Wilton in Yr6 and Sara Allen in Yr5. Before the match the team felt fairly confident with a ‘Can do’ attitude.

The game was interesting in lots of different ways. There were various corners with unexpected outcomes. At one point we could have scored and been only 3-1 down but the cross went to far out and got taken by a St. Augustine’s R.C defender and passed on to another of their players. Everyone was trying to get possession of the ball and doing their very best at any thing that faced any individual player. There were no fouls or injuries and only one slide tackle in the whole game.

All the Players played very well and as it was our first game of the season we did very well. In the second half we scored our only goal with a great team effort. The goal was scored by our attack named Charlie Large in Yr6. The final score was 9-1 to St. Augustine’s R.C.

I interviewed the Bidborough team captain Edward Robinson from Yr6 and this is what he said: "St. Augustines are a very good team and showed that in the game we played. Every individual showed great skill in whatever they did with full confidence and working as a team."
