Students from SHS shows sportsmanship in a football match

This event took place at the Harvey Haddon Leisure Centre in Nottingham and was organised by Nottingham Active.

The team consisted of players from Sutherland House School wearing red football shirts or bibs, shin pads, red shorts/socks and relevant footwear. Nethergate wore a blue kit, Woodlands wore a green kit. Before the game the students participated in a warmup passing activity with Coden and were briefed on the rules of the games

Both games were 7-a-side, very competitive with teams evenly matched. There will be a return fixture involving all three schools as the event was a great success.

The final scores were:

• Sutherland House School 1-4 Woodlands

In the second and shorter game the score was:

• Sutherland House 2-2 Nethergate B team

All the students enjoyed playing in a competitive football match against other schools on a large 3G football pitch 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.
