Share This Post
On Friday 19th January at Poolfoot Farm, we set host to the 2018 EFL Kids Cup with over 240 children from Year 5-6 competing.
This year we had a record number of entries with 27 schools, 30 teams from the Wyre and Fylde battling it out to be crowned winners and go on to represent Fleetwood Town Community Trust in the regional finals against the likes of Preston, Blackpool, and Blackburn to name a few.
Despite the weather trying its utmost to ruin the day with horrendous hail, sleet and rain each and every individual that represented their school should be proud of their efforts on the day.
The eventful winners of the day were Lytham C of E who beat Shakespeare Primary School 3-0 in the final. Lytham ran out deserved winners going through the whole tournament without conceding a single goal. Lytham C of E will now have the opportunity to have a training session with one of our Fleetwood Town Community Trust coaches and will go on to represent Fleetwood in the further rounds.
Jordan Wood, Premier League Primary Stars Co-ordinator said, “We were over the moon with a record amount of schools that took part in the competition. The standard was very high and the day was played in great spirit with boys and girls having lots of fun despite the hail, sleet, and rain”.
Mrs Barnes, PE Co-ordinator at Thornton Primary School said: “The day was a fantastic success and the children really enjoyed themselves despite the weather”.
Mrs Wood, Teacher from Hambleton Primary Academy also said: “The EFL tournament was well organized and the children had a brilliant time”.
