The Construction department at Carshalton College held an inter-house football tournament on Wednesday 27 March 2013. The tournament was organised by construction tutors, Matthew Proctor and Daren Hull and involved nine teams taking part with only those students with an 85% attendance rate participating.
The tournament was organised as an end of Easter term activity for the department. Each of the nine teams were divided into three groups and all got to play four games within their group. The winner of each group then went through to the semi-finals.
The semi-finals were a close competition and all four teams upped their game in an effort to secure their place in the final. After two tense matches Carpentry Level 1team A and Carpentry Level 1 team B were our finalists.
With an all Carpentry Level 1 final the two teams really wanted the win and the honour of the victory over their classmates. It was a close match but team B were named the first winners of the Construction Football Tournament.
Following their victory, Finola Fitzgerald, Director at the College awarded the players in both the finalist teams medals and the winning cup.
To add some more fun to the tournament the construction tutors agreed to play the winning team. It was an interesting game with the scoreboard fast changing. As the full time whistle blew the students celebrated their second victory at the tournament.
The organisers of the event would like to thank all the construction students who took part and the staff who refereed and kept the scores etc.
