Pontyclun Primary School - Boys and Girls' Primary School Champions


Today was a fantastic sporting day for the children at Pontyclun Primary School. We became the boys and girls, Mid-Glamorgan Football champions for the second consecutive year. We took four strong teams to the University Of Glamorgan Playing Fields and were amazed at the football produced by all teams. The girls Rovers team made the semi finals, the United team came out champions after wining the final against Cwmgarw of the Cynon Valley 2-0. The Boys Rovers team (below) were just as impressive with a narrow loss, three draws and one win, they narrowly missed out on the semi finals after coming third in their group. The boys United team were magnificent all day and topped their group before wining the semi final 1-0 and the final against Castellau on penalties. Although nobody likes to win a tournament on penalties all present said that the best teams won both tournaments. We all eagerly look forward to the National Competitions at Aberystwyth, where we will be representing Mid Glamorgan against all of the other regional champions. With such a large amount of children competing the help and support of parents was essential, may I thank both the children for their excellent behaviour and the parents for their support, good luck to both teams in Aberytwyth. Today some of our players created a musical tribute to all four teams - as they are all champions. To see it click movies on the right hand side or click below:
