<\/p>\n
On 15 May 2025 Mid Yell Secondary School, in partnership with Baltasound Junior High School, proudly took part in a thrilling secondary school football competition this week. The joint team played a total of eight closely contested matches, showcasing fantastic teamwork, determination, and spirit throughout.<\/p>\n
The first six games were hard-fought, each ending in either a narrow loss or a draw. Despite these early results, the team remained focused and positive, gaining valuable experience and building momentum as the tournament progressed.<\/p>\n
The final two games were crucial in determining the third, fourth, and fifth place positions. First up was the playoff for fourth and fifth place, a match against Brae High School that proved to be an absolute nail-biter. After a 1\u20131 draw in regular time, the game headed into extra time and eventually penalties. With incredible composure and teamwork, Mid Yell held their nerve and emerged victorious in the shootout, securing fourth place and a well-deserved celebration.<\/p>\n
The third\/fourth place match followed a similar pattern against Aith Junior High School which ended in another 1\u20131 draw that led to extra time and penalties. Despite a strong effort and another display of courage and skill, this time the result didn\u2019t go our way. Nevertheless, finishing fourth out of a competitive field was a fantastic achievement.<\/p>\n
The entire competition was played under beautiful weather conditions, which made for a great atmosphere and added to the enjoyment of the event.<\/p>\n
A huge thank you goes to Active Schools<\/em> for organizing such a well-run and enjoyable tournament.
