Football Treble for Devizes School year 7 Team


Devizes U12’s Football team were pleased to have qualified for the Wiltshire County Cup played at Stanley Park, Chippenham. They had a match against Wyvern College, then faced Wootton Basset in the final of the County Cup. The Devizes team played well together, and their nerves had settled when Kristian A, in midfield scored the opening goal. The second half saw Devizes show outstanding physical defensive skills from Archie G and the intelligent defending from Lleyton E. Dominic B stayed calm to slot the ball past the keeper to score the vital goal. With only 5 minutes to go Archie G settled the game with an audacious strike from the half way line which flew into the top corner.


This year has been an outstanding season for Devizes School who had won the Wiltshire League, Wiltshire League Cup and the Wiltshire County Cup. Mr B.Raymond. PE Department


6 Wiltshire and Swindon Relay Yr 7 Mid Wilts Football Finals


throw me high, flying through the air until they catch me again. The best day of the year is Sports Day because I get to help my friends. I like helping at sports events because of all the things the children achieve. The exercise makes them strong and healthy. They use me in teams, working with each other and even if they don’t win any games they still try their best. When its time to go back to the cupboard I am tired but happy and I cant wait for next time.”
