Junior Reds organised a football tournament on Friday 22nd April for Girls in local Primary Schools. A record nine Schools attended with thirteen teams taking part – Alexander McLeod, Barnehurst, Bedonwell, De Lucy, Fosters, Gravel Hill, Pelham, St. Thomas Moore and Westgate. Due to numbers a tournament for School Years 3 and 4 was held at Crook Log Sports Centre and another for School Years 5 and 6 at Danson Youth Centre, Bexleyheath.
The rain did not spoil the enjoyment of the girls and for many this was their first experience in playing organised matches. The Year 5 & 6 tournament was won for the third successive occasion by Bedonwell with Pelham again finishing second on goal difference.
Girls Coach, Yusuf Kayalar, explained “ We are keen to promote Girls football in the area and wish to expand the Girls football with new teams from Under 8s to 14s for next season. This tournament both promoted Girls football and increased awareness of our plans”.
