Junior Football
2007/8 saw Sir Alexander Fleming School and Madeley Sports Football form a partnership which has enabled Madeley Sports FC to provide coaches for the school's football team.
In the first year the school entered the Telford Schools league both at Year 5 and 6 and years 3 and 4. The years 3 and 4 team as pictured above won their league group and semi finals without losing a game. The final was played at AFC Telford and was watched by parents and players from all ages within the school and Madeley Sports FC. The team produced some great football against a really hard team but Sir Alexander Fleming with their skill, determination and massive support won the game 3-1 and became the Years 3 and 4 champions of Telford.
Will Bowen, Team Manager, says “Richard and I are over the moon for the players they have worked hard both individually and as a team, Sir Alexander Fleming school staff are brilliant and every time we got back to school on match days we were met with members of the cleaning staff, caretaker and teachers asking about how we got on.
They really paid an interest which certainly inspired the players. Richard and I would like to thank Mrs Ann Shaw for arranging the partnership and Mr Noel Hitch for his work with the players prior to our involvement, Will Bowen JNR, Paul Richardson and Noel Hitch for refereeing matches and all the staff at Sir Alexander Fleming for their wonderful support, especially Mrs Cousins the Headteacher”.
