Mr Chaplin had the pleasure of taking two Springfield Year 10 football teams to the John Jenkins Stadium to take part in a tournament organised by Portsmouth in the Community. The tournament was a great success for Springfield, who were the eventual winners. The tournament ran with two pools of teams, the winner of each pool would then go straight into a final. Both Springfield sides began well in their respective groups and at one stage it looked like it could be an all Springfield final alas this was not to be with one of the Springfield teams coming as pool runners up, however the other Springfield side won the pool and progressed into the final to play against The Petersfield school, in a close fought final Springfield ran out eventual winners. The tournament provided the pupils a great opportunity to play at some state of the art facilities as well as gain an insight into the post 16 opportunities available to them via Portsmouth in the community. The students also enjoyed the challenge of playing new schools from across the county not just those in the local area. Well done, let's hope we can take the title next year too!
