Westfield's Flag Football team participated in a mini tournament on Tuesday 1st March at Westfield Junior School. There were three other teams. Little Paxton brought two teams and Houghton brought one. Our first match was against one of the Little Paxton teams. It was a rocky start as the ball flew from the centre but the quarterback missed it so the the running back, Aidan, managed to catch it run all the way to the end of the field and score the first touchdown of the game. We missed the conversion leaving the game 6 nil to us. Little Paxton scored a touchdown making the game 6 all. We scored two more touchdowns, all having missed conversions making the score 18 - 6. The opposing team came back scoring another touchdown, leaving the score at the end of the game 18 - 12 to us. The next game was against the 2nd of Little Paxton teams. We started off well,scoring a great touchdown, but missing the conversion. We defended really well with tags all over the pitch, but sadly they managed to score a touchdown. Our defence played extremely hard. Sprinting to the end and scoring our 2nd touchdown of the game. We then scored a conversion of 2 points. This marked the end of the game, with the final score being 14-6 to us. Our final game was against Houghton, a well known team who three years ago went to Florida to play. The game started well as we were playing as the offensive team. We played hard, scoring an amazing touchdown, but sadly missing the conversion. Our defensive were ferocious, but Houghton's running managed to get through, making it 6 all. With seconds left, they scored another one point conversion. The game ended 6 - 7 to them.
Overall, we came second place. Thank you to Mr Fenton for coaching, and well done to: Aidan, Megan, Cara, Amelia, Maddy, Louis, Joseph, Abu-Bakr, Zayd and Jack. Please may this team stand up.
