After that, our team got to meet some Bristol Rovers team members and got awarded certificates.
We all really enjoyed it, and we came 4 out of 5 in the tournament, not bad considering we had only trained a few times and some of the other teams were older than us.
Well done everyone and thanks to Miss McDonagh for taking us and Bristol Rovers for hosting the tournament.
