On Thursday the 24th of August, the year 5.6 football A team entered the Canterbury football tournament. They first had to win the the zones tournament. Both the year 7/8 and 5/6 won their zone tournaments in Rolleston in term 2 qualifying them for the Canterbury tournaments. The year 5/6 tournament was held at English park where they played on small sized fields with artificial grass. The year ⅞ tournament was held at Hagley park. The games were played as five-a-side.
The Lincoln year 5/6 students arrived on a bus and started with a warm up. It wasn't long until the buzzer went off to sound the games. The children played 8 short games and every game they won was a big step further. After the seventh game they had won all of them and they were through to the finals. The finals were intense but the final score was two all. The corners that were conceded were counted up, but that was one all so the final result was a draw.
In the end they were super happy about their placing. They are now able to call themselves the best team in Canterbury!
