Holland win the Mini World Cup
Comments |
More than 250 pupils did their schools proud at the Mini
World Cup, held in Gillingham.
Supported by the Medway Messenger in association with Plumb-Fix,
the 2010 Mini World Cup attracted a record 46 schools.
Guests on the day included Mayor of Medway Cllr David Brake, MP for
Chatham and Aylesford Tracey Crouch (Con) and Medway Messenger
editor Bob Bounds, who all spoke at the launch of the
competition.
The day began with a parade of nations, with each of the teams
making their way around the two central pitches with hand-made
posters, flags and even mascots and cheerleaders.
All 46 schools were matched with a country to represent, meaning
every one of the World Cup finalist was represented along with the
play-off losers who almost made it and the home nations.
At the end of the day, Gillingham right-back Jack Payne handed out
awards to some of the schools’ top performers.
There were also awards for fair play and trophies for the winners
of the three competitions, the main Medway Mini World Cup, the Mini
World Trophy and the Mini World Shield.
St Margaret’s, in Orchard Street, Gillingham, as Holland, won the
main competition, beating Slovenia, represented by Hilltop Primary
School, of Rochester, in the final by a single goal.
There are two pages of pictures in Monday's Medway
Messenger and we will have a 12-page special in Friday's paper -
don't miss it.
