As part of disability month, City in the Community have hosted a primary special school football tournament.

Three primary schools competed in the event which took place at Platt Lane Training Complex on Tuesday 5 February.

The three schools involved; Ashgate School from Wythenshawe, The Birches School from Didsbury and Camberwell Park School from Blackley, have all previously received football coaching sessions in school as part of the ‘One City’ Disability Sport programme.

The three year programme is funded by the Premier League Charitable Fund and aims to increase sporting opportunities and develop player pathways for disabled people in Manchester.

The teams played each other twice with the emphasis being on enjoyment and participation.

The pupils all demonstrated plenty of skill, teamwork and scored lots of goals with each game being very close.

Both Camberwell Park A and B teams ended up in joint first only for Camberwell Park A team to win on goal difference.

Camberwell Park A collected the ‘One City’ cup to ovation from all the players, teachers and coaches.

The Birches School collected the fair play award to celebrate their sportsmanship and efforts throughout the day.
