Liverpool FC Tournament On Wednesday 25th March 6 year 1 & 2 children had the fantastic opportunity to go to Liverpool FC Academy to play in a tournament against schools from all across Liverpool. The boys played 5 games with some great football being played and scoring lots of goals! At the end of the tournament the boys received some Liverpool FC goodies. They all represented Bishop Martin fantastically and were a credit to themselves and the school. Team: Cohen, Kyle, Craig, Dylan, Alfie, Stephen. Unfortunately AJ was ill on the morning of the tournament so was unable to play but we can't wait for he to play next time. Splash Following on from the dry and wet training sessions, Thursday 26th March was the West Lancashire School Sports Partnership Schools Splash finals at Nye Bevan. Lily Grace and Aalyiah performed 4 dives each with Lily Grace getting 9's across the board for her Tuck Dive and Aalyiah getting 8.5's across the board for her Standing Dive. Both girls performed amazingly well.
