The Trust’s adults SEND football team competed in their first-ever 11-a-side fixture at Pontefract Colleries FC, with teams from Pontefract, Bradford, Middlesbrough, Whitby, Liverpool and Chesterfield taking part.
The team came up against some very strong sides but ended up getting through to the quarter-finals to face the league leaders, Skem Aces from Liverpool. The game unfortunately resulted in a 3 – 1 loss, but the Trust’s team gave them a tough game.
SEND football coach, Craig Dawson, commented on the experience, saying: “To make it to the quarter-finals of the tournament in our first 11-a-side games is a massive achievement. It was a brilliant day; everyone received medals, and the winners and runners-up received trophies.
