It’s been a busy and exciting week for sport at Reigate St Mary’s, with pupils from across the school showcasing their skills, teamwork, and determination in a variety of fixtures and tournaments.
U10 Football Triumph at Home Tournament
On Saturday, Reigate St Mary’s proudly hosted its annual Under 10 A Team Five-a-Side Football Tournament, welcoming teams from Chinthurst, Micklefield, Caterham, and Hawthorns. It was a brilliant morning of football, with a notably high standard across all matches.
Our U10s were exceptional throughout, scoring an impressive 13 goals and conceding just once. The competition was fierce, with RSM, Caterham, and Hawthorns all finishing on 9 points. Thanks to a superb goal difference of +12, Reigate St Mary’s were crowned tournament champions - making it three consecutive tournament wins in as many years!
The team showed tremendous resilience and character, bouncing back from a hard-fought loss in their penultimate game to win their final match 3-0. Their determination and teamwork were a credit to the school. A huge thank you to all participating schools, their staff and supporters, and to our own ground staff, catering team, and sports teachers for making the event such a success.
