Wharncliffe Side’s All-Stars It was a day filled with excitement and celebration as Wharncliffe Side Primary School emerged as the champions of the first-ever Primary All-Stars inclusive football event. The 7-a-side tournament, organised by Sheffield Wednesday, took place at the Jubilee Sports Ground community facility and showcased the talent and inclusivity of primary school students.
The event, designed for mixed teams of Year 6 boys and girls, brought together young athletes from various backgrounds, uniting them in the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie. Brett Pitcher, who played a pivotal role in organising the tournament, expressed his delight at the resounding success of the event and the enthusiasm displayed by all participants. "It's heartwarming to see these young boys and girls coming together on the field to share their love for the beautiful game." The winning team, Wharncliffe Side Primary School, displayed exceptional teamwork and sportsmanship throughout the tournament, ultimately securing the title. Freya, one
of the girls from the victorious Wharncliffe Side team, expressed her excitement about the event. "I loved it! It's the first time I have ever played football outside school, and I'd love to do it again," Freya said with a beaming smile, highlighting the positive impact the event had on young participants. Class Teacher and Head of PE at Wharncliffe Side Primary Nigel Hartley said. "I’m really proud of them all. The Primary AllStars event is all about promoting inclusion and providing an opportunity for children to showcase their football skills, regardless of their gender or background." The inaugural Primary AllStars inclusive football event served as a shining example of the power of sports to bring people together and create opportunities for all. It is events like these that inspire the next generation of athletes and promote the values of inclusivity, fairness, and teamwork. Congratulations to Wharncliffe Side Primary School and all the participants who made this event a memorable success.
WANTED WANTED WANTED ‘Stocksbridge Rugby Camper Vans / Motorhomes beaten by the weather’ Globe Holidays-sponsored Stocksbridge Rugby found themselves victims of the recent bad weather, and with a waterlogged pitch, they were forced to cancel their friendly fixture against Maltby Rugby at the weekend. With only one serviceable pitch to play on, the club are keen to begin drainage work on the main pitch after the grant award was confirmed last Month by Stocksbridge Council. The enforced rest has again given the Club’s walking wounded more time to rehab and heal, as Head Coach Andy Lawrence will be looking to select from a nearly full playing roster for the next league fixture, the Yorkshire 4 Counties round 8 clash versus East Coast rivals, and 4th placed Hornsea Rugby at Coal Pit Lane on Saturday, with a 2.15pm kick-off time.
Stocksbridge will be looking for a convincing performance and a win that would begin to lift them from their current lowly 12th place in the league ladder. Stocksbridge Rugby will then travel to West Yorkshire the following week to face 5thplaced Knottingley RUFC. This Year’s Christmas Jumper fixture will be on 16th December, when old enemy Thornesians Rugby are the visitors to Coal Pit Lane. Club Captain, that man Adam Frith is confident that his charges can build on recent performances and pull away from the foot of the league, ’the break has given us time to recover and time to hit the training paddock’ he said, adding ‘the hard work will pay off, and we should begin to see the fruits of our efforts in performances, and results’.
