Sutherland House and Nethergate School organised an indoor Key Stage 3/4 Football match.
The team consisted of players from Sutherland House School wearing red football shirts or bibs and relevant footwear. Nethergate wore a blue kit. Before the game the students participated in a warmup passing activity and were briefed again on the rules of the game
The students who represented Sutherland House School for this football event were from Key Stages 3 and 4. Each half consisted of 10 minutes with a five-minute half-time break. The final score was Sutherland House School 3 Nethergate 4. In the second and shorter game the score was Sutherland House 1 Nethergate 3.
The games were 7-a-side and we had one substitute. Students took it in turns to go in goal. Both games were very competitive with teams evenly matched. This is the third time we have played Nethergate and we will organise the return fixture at Harvey Haddon in 2026.
All the students enjoyed playing in a competitive football match against another school in a large leisure centre hall with five a- side goals. The students represented the school in a positive manner and played the game fairly and to the rules. Despite the obvious disappointment of losing, they respected the referee decisions and listened to familiar staff who supported them.
We are all very proud of their efforts. There will be a full inclusive sporting calendar next year, 2026, that we look forward to entering and competing against other schools.
