Away Trip to Ridgeway High School The Clare Mount SSC KS3 futsal team made the exciting away trip to Ridgeway High School for a highly anticipated futsal tournament, showcasing incredible resilience and determination throughout the competition. Representing our school was a true honor, and the boys did themselves proud, facing tough opposition in challenging conditions. The away court was slippery, but the Clare Mount players adapted quickly, adjusting to the tricky surface and setting themselves up for an impressive performance. Despite the early challenges, the team picked up the pace and soon took control, playing some excellent futsal with flair and precision. The Clare Mount A team truly excelled, finishing first overall in the tournament. Their player of the tournament was Jacob Bennett, whose no-nonsense, front-foot competitive spirit made a massive impact. Jacob’s commitment and leadership on the court inspired the whole team and were instrumental in their success. Meanwhile, the Clare Mount First Team also had an exceptional run, finishing in third place. The team was outstanding throughout, consistently putting their opponents on the back foot. It was their ability to dominate in attack and defense that shone through. However, a series of drawn matches ultimately saw them finish just shy of the top spot, securing the runners-up position. The player of the night for the First Team was Rocco Dalton, who was simply commanding and incisive, playing a crucial role both in midfield and attack. A special mention goes to Kenzo McDonald, who, on his return to his former team, finished as the tournament’s Golden Boot winner with 3 goals. Kenzo’s skill and clinical finishing were key factors in the team’s success. Overall, it was a fantastic evening of futsal, and the Clare Mount boys displayed the true spirit of the game. Their teamwork, determination, and individual performances made this a memorable tournament. A massive well done to everyone involved – we are all incredibly proud of your efforts! Keep up the great work!
