Yet again this year, Ysgol Treganna eagerly awaited the start of the Cardiff & Vale Primary 5s festivals. The festivals for boys and girls have proven to be a successful platform for the school where the first, second and the girls footballing teams have expressed themselves on the football field.
As a school we fully appreciate the level of professionalism during these days as they are arranged excellently and the children use exceptional 4G playing facilities. There is a constant emphasis on enjoyment during these days and you can see the FAW’s moto of “Gorau Chwarae, Cyd-Chwarae” is firmly promoted.
For the second year running we were lucky enough to be chosen to represent the Cardiff & Vale Schools Football Association in the national festival day held at Lathem Park, the home of Newtown Football Club. We were blessed with excellent weather which provided the perfect foundation for the talent displayed by the future of budding Welsh footballers! The day was run superbly and followed the professional standard set by Tim and his team in Cardiff & Vale. It was truly a memorable day and the match programme was the icing on the cake as the children undoubtedly felt special when they saw their picture and name featured.
We played some excellent football and were close to becoming the most improved side which deservedly went to Ysgol Lon Las from Swansea.
Hopefully we can aim for the hat-trick and represent the County yet again next year. However, we will be more than happy to play in the regionals and it’s a fantastic opportunity for the children to receive game time, aid development and moreover to have fun in a professional and safe manor. We would encourage any other primary school thinking about participating to definitely go for it
