Year 9 Boys – English School Football Association Playstation Cup
Round 2 – Abbeywood Vs Norton Hill
The boys have started the year with a bang! After getting a bye through to round 2 they played Norton Hill School, Bath.
This match started off a little slow but after Kinsly Murray scored, the boys relaxed and started playing their brand of
football; passing and moving, letting the ball do the work was too much for Norton Hill School and so the Abbeywood Year
9 boys won by 10 – 1.
Man of the Match – Kinsly Murray
Round 3 – Gordano Vs Abbeywood
This match was a match up that both school hoped would happen later into the competition. Gordano School, North
Somerset have a great footballing set up which means a lot of the boys are playing at a good level of football, but this
didn’t faze our boys. After a defensive masterclass from both sides, Abbeywood got the break through with Kinsly Murray
running through to score and then Harvey Lawrence scoring after great work down the right from Ryan Jefferies. Gordano
got a penalty but their captain missed, they recovered and got a goal back after an own goal. At half time, changes were
made so to relieve the pressure on the defence and with that, the team looked more in control. But against the run of play,
they scored a goal from 30 yards. This gave Gordano added hope so they went on the front foot and attacked Abbeywood
with everything but after soaking up the pressure Abbeywood got the ball and went on the attack themselves. Jonny Mead
passed the ball out to Ryan Jefferies who attacked the space down the right and crossed it and the ball was met by Joe
Budd, who placed it into the bottom corner.
3-2 win to Abbeywood
Man of the Match – Joe Budd

Norovirus season
Ahead of the approaching norovirus season, to reduce the spread of norovirus, children with symptoms of norovirus
should:
Stay away from school until they have been free of symptoms for at least 48 hours and avoid contact with others
were possible.
Keep hydrated by drinking fluids as tolerated.
If symptoms persist (more than 48 hours), phone the GP or the NHS non-emergency number 111 for advice.
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water regularly but particularly after toilet visits and before eating and
handling food. Alcohol hand gel is not effective against norovirus.
Do not visit friends or relatives in hospital or residential care homes as there is a real risk of introducing the
infection to the establishment.
