The boysโ football team played in the Galactico Cup at Avoniel today. They showed great fight, determination and skill to reach the B section final, before being defeated by a tough Strandtown side. I donโt know whether the boys preferred the football or the pizza better . . . You can decide ๐โฝ๏ธ๐
