Guys, I am so proud of everything you have done on the pitch this season.
I just want to thank you all.
You came up against a (slightly) better team today, but you gave them a real fright near the end. Brilliant goal Adam! Just keep doing that wherever you're playing next year, it's what you do!
Player of the match : EVERYBODY!
Good luck to those of in P7 who are moving on. Keep looking in at the blog!
Those of you who are staying : ONWARDS and UPWARDS! You will be quite a team next season after all the experience you have gained this season.
To all the parents : THANK YOU for your tremendous support and the laughs on the touchline.
Looking forward to 2008/9 already!

AFC TPS Staff v Parents 2008
****** BREAKING NEWS *******
News is just reaching us from the 3rd annual AFC TPS Staff v Parents match. After a strong start from the parents, Alcorn then asserted his authority on the match with two clinical finishes to give the Staff a 2-0 lead. With virtually the last kick of the half, the Parents hauled themselves back into the match, netting from from a hotly disputed penalty.
We will endeavour to bring you news of the second half as we receive it. We just won't endeavour terribly hard, that's all.

Templepatrick 8 Thompson 0
Match report by Brook (captain)
As today was my first match as permanent captain, this was a definitely a must win match against Thompson Primary! So when the match kicked off, we did what Mr Alcorn told us to do and passed the ball about. Finally, Gerard hit it and it floated in to the top right hand corner. Then we had lots of throws which Jack and Phillip took nicely. We got a corner from which Gerard hit a very dangerous shot into the 6 yard box but their keeper punched it away for another corner. Gerard hit it well again and the ball fell beautifully for a bicycle kick from me, which made it 2-0. Templepatrick kept applying the pressure so Michael took a shot and it rolled in. It was 3-0. However, Templepatrick lost concentration and gave away a penalty from an apparent hand ball. We all got tense as the player ran up to hit the penalty which Daniel J saved with a super dive! After half time, Daniel Dand Daniel J got subbed off (Daniel J for Matthew , Daniel D for Adam M). It was a good start for Templepatrick as Gerard scored 2 in a row, which made it 5-0. Then Michael scored and then tried for another goal but it deflected off a Thompson defender. It was 7-0 with 5 minutes to play. Michael and Gerard were playing well together and suddenly Michael crossed it high and Gerard got on to the end of it and scored to finish it at 8-0. Everybody played really well and we will keep this winning streak up, until we win all the leagues! Congratulations to Gerard who got man of the match.
