Sid Harker Cup

This is a 6-a-side competition for boys only. The winners qualify for the Inner London Round of the ESFA 7 A-Side competition. For the 2008/9 season the event was held in a single session on Tuesday 25th November at the Lions Centre next to the New Den.

This is the Association’s premier competition in the sense that it is the first stage of a nationwide competition, organised by the ESFA, in which thousands of schools up and down the country take part. This year the national finals will again take place at Wembley Stadium.

The winners of Sid Harker Cup represent Bermondsey & Rotherhithe at the Inner London County 7-A-Side for schools (known as the Davies Cup) at the Marathon Ground, Charlton on Saturday 29^th November.

2008/9 Competition:

After an afternoon of thrilling football at Millwall’s Lions Centre, Redriff Primary School emerged the winners of the Sid Harker Cup – retaining their title from last season – courtesy of a 2-0 win in the final against Grange Primary School.

Eight teams had started the afternoon hoping to put their names on the cup having been split into two groups of four. From group one, St Josephs (with a 100% record) and St James took the top two spots to book semi final places whilst in group two Redriff also managed a 100&% record and were followed into the semi finals by Grange. Both semi finals were tight affairs with Grange pipping St Josephs by a single goal and Redriff overcoming St James in the last seconds of extra time by three goals to two, after St James had pegged them back from 2-0 down.

A goal in each half saw Redriff overcome Grange in the final to win the competition and in doing so secure a place in Saturday’s Inner London Davies Cup, where they will face the champion schools from other districts across the county.

Girls Winter Tournament

This is a 6-a-side competition for girls only. The winners qualify for the Inner London Round of the ESFA Girls 6 A-Side competition.

Although the overall winner of the competition will progress to the county final round, the aim of the local event is to allow schools an opportunity for their girls to play football against other schools and have fun, so teams of all levels of ability, even if they have not played a match before, are welcome to enter.

2007/8 Report

Despite the wet weather, the Bermondsey & Rotherhithe Primary Schools Football Association’s Girls Winter Tournament managed to go ahead at the SPARK Centre on the Old Kent Road on Thursday 6th December, with four schools braving the elements and providing an excellent advert for girls football at primary school level with no shortage of skill on display and magnificent enthusiasm evident from all schools.

Redriff, seeking to match their boys success in the Sid Harker Cup, Charles Dickens, last year’s joint winners Townsend and guest school Surrey Square were the competing schools in the round robin event which saw unbeaten Redriff and Surrey Square take the top two places to meet in the final.

The final itself proved to be a tight affair as two well organised sides fought out an exciting match. Both teams scored goals early in the first half and although the ball flashed past both goals late in the game neither side could force a winner meaning the competition title was shared.

SPARK Festivals

The Bermondsey & Rotherhithe PSFA has teamed up with the Southwark council backed SPARK facility (located just off the Old Kent Road opposite the junction with Ilderton Road) to provide an hour and a half of outdoor 6 a-side football between 4.00 p.m. and 5.30 p.m.

Schools are invited to bring along a squad of players on one or more of the evenings to take part in matches against the other schools present on the facilities carpet-surface mini pitches. With two pitches available we have scope for 8 teams per evening and so places are still available for schools wishing to get involved.

The next sessions are planned for Thursday 20^th November 2008, Thursday 27^th November 2008 and Thursday 3^rd December 2008

For further details of how your school can join in the Thursday evening fun call Bob James on 0208 926 3865 or 07802 428724 or email us at brpsfa@hotmail.co.uk
