TOWER HAMLETS GIRLS PUT ON KNOCK-OUT TOURNAMENT!

Last week saw Year 7, 8 & 9 girls from Swanlea School, Mulberry School for Girls, Oaklands School, Langdon Park Community School, Raines Foundation School, Sir John Cass Foundation and Redcoat C of E Secondary School and Central Girl’s Foundation take part in the Leyton Orient Community Sports Programme (LOCSP) Tower Hamlets Girls Football Tournament at Mile End Stadium.

The eight-team tournament was a round-robin affair with the top finishers in the two groups of four playing each other in the semi-finals.

Sir John Cass overcame Langdon Park to play Raines Foundation, who themselves beat Central Foundation, in the final which Raines Foundation won 2-1, despite going a goal down.

John Mensah, LOCSP Community Development Officer said:

“The tournament was a hard-fought competition with a lot of great skill and
sportsmanship shown all afternoon.

“These tournaments always bring out the best in everyone involved and we are looking at organising another one after the February half term.”
