On Tuesday 3rd November, the girls football team walked down to the Idverde Training Ground (POSH’s training pitches) to take part in the city-wide qualifier for the Premier League U11’s Cup. A competition which sees lots of schools compete with some brilliant players from other schools.
The competition was split into two large groups with each group having 9 teams in. The girls had to qualify in the top two to go through to the semi-finals. The girls played 8 group matches, winning all 8! That was impressive. They then went onto to win the semi-final 1-0 and enter the final. The girls played Elton in the final and won 1-0 in a great game of football.
The girls are the first team at Wistow to have won this competition and should be immensely proud of themselves. In March the girls will now represent Peterborough United and play against teams like Watford, Tottenham Hotspurs, MK Dons, Colchester and many more. If they win the southern finals, they then get to play at Wembley during the play-off final against the winners from the North!

Last Thursday, a group of boys from Year 5 and 6 had the chance to represent the school at a football tournament at Jack Hunt School. Despite having never played together as a team before, they worked really well together and went from narrowly losing their first game 2-1, to winning the rest of their games without conceding a goal. They behaved very well throughout, worked brilliantly together as a team and were a real credit to the school.
The girls football team had their next league fixture against Braybrook at OWPS. The girls had a quick start, going 2-0 up. They finished proud winners of a 6-1 win. The girls remain unbeaten and have set a great standard for themselves. They have the POSH tournament next week to compete against lots of schools in Peterborough. A great start to this school year for the team.

On Tuesday the 19th of November, the girls football team took part in a qualifier to progress to the regional finals. The tournament was held at Netherton football club. The schools were placed into two different pools. The team who won their pool would qualify to the regional finals, held in Cambridge. OWPS only conceded one goal and progressed with flying colours. The girls really impressed and were a credit to the school. They now get to go to Cambridge to play teams from regional areas. Well done girls.
On Tuesday 12th November, the Year 5/6 netball team had their first fixture of the year. The girls had lots of nerves leading up to this event, but they couldn't have made me prouder. In the first quarter, the girls got to grips with marking their players. By the second half, it was amazing to see how much they had already learnt. We scored our first 3 goals in the second half, which was a massive confidence boost. The team showed great perseverance and I was proud of their sportsmanship and respect for Winyates. At our next training session, the girls were already implementing so many of the strategies, tips and tricks they had learnt from their game against Winyates. They are ready and raring to go and play their next game!

On Thursday, 14th November, Year 3/4 students participated in a football tournament at Jack Hunt School. The Primary Schools' Year 3&4 Football Festival aimed to bring local schools together for a series of friendly matches, fostering teamwork, sportsmanship, and community spirit.
Orton Wistow performed exceptionally well, winning every match and scoring some fantastic goals while conceding only a single goal throughout the tournament. The children demonstrated incredible skill, determination, and teamwork, making their school proud with their outstanding performance.
Beyond the results, the children were an absolute pleasure to be around, representing the school with positivity and sportsmanship.
