Our Primary 6 girls attended a girls only football festival this afternoon at Deans Community High School.
There were 6 teams taking part in the festival from across West Lothian. We played 5 games in total and ended up joint winners with Bankton Primary School.
The girls were a credit to the school and themselves! Thank you to everyone at Deans Community High School for organising the event.
Well Done Pumphy!!!
