Other Sporting Competitions 2017/18

Read about last year's sporting competition here.

Year 3/4 Football Festival

On the 22nd March it was a special day at Droylsden Juniors as we hosted a year 3/4 festival for 6 other schools in Tameside. As well as this we had 4 of our Year 6 who did a fantastic job and got lots of compliments from other staff. It was an amazing success on the pitch too, with our year 4 team drawing 2 of their games and the year 3's winning 2 and drawing one of their games. It was a fun night and we are looking forward to hosting more in future. 

Road to Old Trafford Tameside Heats

On Wednesay the 17th January 2018 we took a Year 2 and Year 3 team to the Road to Old Trafford Tameside heats at the famous cliff training ground of Manchester United. The year 2's did very well, winning two and drawing 2 of their 6 games but the year 3's did even better winning 5 and drawing one in the group. This meant they played in the final which they impressively won 4-1. They will play in the final at the AON training complex in May/June! Well done!

Year 5/6 Girls Monthly League

At the end of September, October and November we have sent two girls to the Tameside Girls football league. Our girls have played some fantastic football in the friendly matches so far and can't wait to take part in the competition in the new year.

Year 3/4 Girls Football Festival

Our Year 3 and 4 girls certainly proved that #thisgirlcan with a fantastic performance from both sides at Curzon Ashton. Both teams scored some fantastic goal but also did some excellent defending. They also showed great respect and fair play.

Year 5/6 Cup Football Match-Linden Road

Our Year 5/6 football team had another excellent win, beating Linden Road 7-1 to qualify for the next round of the cup.

Year 5/6 Football Semi Final v Oasis Broadoak

On Monday 23rd April we travelled to Oasis Broadoak to play in the North Tameside Cup semi final. It was a tough game but we played some superb football to finish as 8-1 winners and head into the final against Moorside next week.

Year 5/6 Football Cup Match V Moorside

On 27th March we took on Moorside in the quarter finals of the Holmes cup. The game got off to a brilliant start as we went 2-0 up at half time. Unfortunately we didn't manage to keep it up and Moorside came back to win 4-2 which was obviously disappointing but hopefully a learning experience.

Tameside Cross Country Championships

On Saturday 13th January we took an amazing 18 children in 3 different age groups to run in the Cross Country Championships held at East Cheshire Harriers over a gruelling 1600m. Everyone did well but one of our year 4's qualified to represent Tameside after finishing an amazing 3rd.

Allianz Dare to Believe Festival

On Wednesday 29th November we were lucky enough to send 10 chidlren to the Allianz Dare to Believe Festival. The children got to see what life was like for Paralympic Athletes, try Paralympic sports and meet Gold Medallist Swimmer Liz Johnson. 

Year 5/6 Football Cup Match-Lyndhurst

After an amazing 4-4 draw in normal time the game went down to a penalty shoot out on a wet and muddy night in Dukinfield. Thankfully we scored all three and won the shootout 3-2 to progress to the next round.

Year 5/6 Cup Football Match-Manchester Road

On Friday 11th September our football team started the season with a superb win 6-0 against Manchester Road to qualify for the next round of the cup.

Manchester United Premier Stars Final

After a superb performance in January to win our heat we went through to play against the other winning schools at the Cliff Training ground on March 23rd. We had a fantastic day winning 2 and drawing 1 of our 7 matches to just miss out on the semi finals. Well done to our boys!

Year 4 Multi-skills Festival

On Thursday 7th December we took 12 children to take part in a Multi-skills festival at Rayner Stephens High School. As well as taking part in activities such as Golf, Basketball and sprint challenges the children also got to have some healthy drinks and tasty food as they learned about the importance of nutrition.

Year 5/6 Football festival

Our year 5/6 footballers have been to three different football festivals at Copley Academy. We have had lots of great wins and goals and it has been exciting to see so many different children representing the school.
