The team played extremely well in the first half, demonstrating quick one touch passing and also pacy counter attacking football. The second half we continued to battled and scored several more goals. Full match report to follow.

Well done everyone. Mr Faithfull

Man of the match - Luke Towler

Colchester United EFL Cup

The first tournament of 2018 saw our boys’ football team enter the EFL Kids Cup. Confidence levels were high after a 3-0 victory over Prettygate. The first game saw Kelvedon play St. Luke’s, which finished 0-0. Luckily, our striker Oliver Wood scored two stunning goals assisted by Harry Taylor, which ended up a dominant performance reaching high levels. However, a disappointing match against Friars Grove knocked confidence levels back down seeing a 1-0 defeat end our unbeaten streak. Lyons Hall were our fourth opponent which saw both teams go for glory. The match was settled with a 0-0 draw. Fordham were our next opposition. Once again, Oliver Wood was on form again scoring a magnificent two goals assisted by Luke Towler and Sammy Taylor, leading to a further victory. The final game of the tournament saw a strong Montgomery side strike within minutes putting them 1-0 up, however the boys never gave up and pushed on for an equaliser, which saw another great goal by Oliver Wood (who cannot stop scoring) tie the game up for a 1-1 draw. Sadly, Kelvedon finished third in the group and did not manage to qualify to the semi-final. We go again next time!

Indoor Sportshall Athletics

A team of athletes from Year 5 and 6 set off this morning for Colchester University, who were hosting this years Indoor Athletic tournament.
This is one of my favourite events that we attend during the year.  It is well organised and gives the children an opportunity to look at athletics with a different view.  As we are all in a large sports hall everyone is also able to easily support each other in their individual events.
Competing visibly against 6 schools today, we have also been in competition with 6 schools who completed the same events last Wednesday.  Therefore at this stage we are unaware of our placing.

However that aside, the children were fantastic today and represented the school with pride and great spirit.  The new kit as always made us stand out and there was no doubting the children's keenness to do well.  We competed hard in the track events and proved successful in many of the track events so whatever the outcome a fantastic morning was had by all.

Well done to everyone who took part and many thanks to the parents who drove and supported.
