On the weekend of the 3rd/4th July, Wadham Yr 9 boys represented the Partnership and the South West of England at the National Futsal Festival, at the amazing Institute of Sports Facility at Don Valley Sheffield. |
| Futsal is a relatively new sport to Britain, of indoor 5-a-side football. It has been played in South America and Europe for some time. The English FA are now promoting it as a key part of developing football through skills games. Played with a low bounce ball and on a basketball court it is fast and high scoring. |

The Wadham boys, playing in the Under 14 section, played 4 games in one of 2 groups playing teams from North London, Northampton, Walsall and Sheffield. All the games proved to be very closely fought affairs with Wadham in the stronger of the 2 groups.
|
| The boys drew one and lost 3 of their games. The 2 teams qualifying from the group eventually met in the final with the Northampton school winning. |
|
|
| The Wadham boys had a great time and although didn’t win, played with much skill and were a credit to their school and region. The boys are now going to set up their own Futsal League back at school in the Autumn term. |
