First official football tournament

Friday 20th March saw the Beneficial Foundation football team take part in their first ever tournament at Brighton and Hove Albion training center. We went along with coaches from Pompey In The Community.



Even though our students didn't win, they put in a tremendous effort and were clapped of the pitch by everyone. We finished the tournament with a fun game between the staff and coaches who managed the tournament.



Stephen showed of some great skills during all the games and got very close to scoring a wonderful free kick, however the Brighton goal keeper did especially well to stop the goal!

Nicky Bleach scored our only goal after managing to dribble past 3 Brighton players and sending the ball through the goal keepers legs.

Our goal keeper Nicola Wearing made some excellent saves and helped to stop a lot of goals from going in.

Louise and Russel were our defensive players and made a lot of brave tackles and blocks.

Miles and Gavin were the heart of the midfield showing some solid chemistry throughout the tournament and helped kick off from the centre of the pitch.

We didn't go home empty handed either, everyone was given a medal for taking part and putting in such a great effort!



Well done to everyone who took part and thank you to all the staff who organised the event, we were very pleased to represent Portsmouth in the tournament. Thanks also to Pompey In The Community as well!
