Town Team Represent In Jersey
The Felling Gateshead East Primary Town football squad has just returned from playing in the English Schools FA festival at Jersey.
Six matches were played over a six day period with two other days being used for travelling. The results were as follows:
8/4/07 – Felling Gateshead East 1 Barking 1
Scorer- Connor Halpin
9/4/07 – Jersey 2 Felling Gateshead East 2
Scorers- Connor Halpin (pen) & Greg Olley
10/4/07 – Felling Gateshead East 6 Mondeville Normandy 1
Scorers- Connor Halpin 2, Michael McGill 2 & Adam Ingram 2
11/4/07 -Felling Gateshead East 2 Sutton Coldfield 2
Scorers- Mitchell Galloway & Luke Day
12/4/07 – Thurrock 1 Felling Gateshead East 0
13/4/07 – Felling Gateshead East 3 Newbury 0
Scorers- Mitchell Galloway, Michael McGill & Connor Halpin.
THe results at the halfway stage meant that we won our group after the first stage.
Our squad was made up from children from the following schools - Lingey House (3 players), Bill Quay (2 players), Brighton Avenue, St. Peters, Kells Lane, Roman Road, Windy Nook, Oakfield & South Street.
All the squads were based in the same St. Helier hotel which enabled lots of contacts and friendships to be made. The squad shared a corridor with Bishop Auckland (who also play in the Durham County league) and each group supported each other in their matches.
When not playing, the squad took part in various leisure activities. One of these involved us travelling in twenty four degree heat to a very up market minature golf course called Living Legends. Players from Gloucester PSFA and ours were sorted into teams and played out competitions. When the overall totals were released, Gloucester were the winners. On returning to the hotel, both squads escaped into the indoor pool for a water polo match.
Further details can be found on Gloucester's website - www.gpsfa.com or our website www.fellingschoolsfa.co.uk
The squad really enjoyed themselves and didn't want to come back. Hopefully next years Primary squad will have an even better time.
The Association continues to go from stength to strength in its two main areas - school football and Town Team football. Various different events are coming up including a couple of days away at Gloucester.
New teachers to work within the Town Team setup are desperately needed. This does not need to be for a weekly commitment. Coaching, fundraising, event organisation, press are all areas where help is needed. Anyone who is interested, should contact me at Roman Road Primary School.

Roman Road Enjoy Cluster Basketball Competition
Even though only three teams from two schools took part, Roman Road enjoyed taking part in the Heworth Grange cluster basketball competition. It was an added bonus to win the fair play award.
well done to all at Heworth for the organisation and to Wardley 'A' for reaching the final.

Roman Road's revised Sports Day goes well
Roman Road held a much changed sports day today due to the heat.
As the temperatures hit twenty eight degrees, it was decided to take each year group out in order to do their activities then return to the cooler classroom.
Although some of the atmosphere was lost, it meant we didn't have a whole key stage sitting outside in the extreme temperatures for two and a half hours.
In the end, two houses (Apollo & Mercury) tied for first place. This was the first time that houses had come joint first.
Most importantly, everyone had a burn-free enjoyable afternoon.
