Hythe Town FC Girls are looking to build their U10 (Yr5), U11 (Yr6) and U12 (Yr7) girls football teams.

We have not had many opportunities in our district for Girls Football teams competing in leagues so this is a very exciting opportunity.

If you have any questions please email John Harney on [email protected]

As this is the first week posting about it, I also want to congratulate the previous Sparx Reader Leaders from this term.
Y7 Winners: Arlo the Navigator (twice), George the Mastermind (again) and another student nicknamed "the One and Only."

A HUGE well done to all of our winners!
