Soccer World Cup - Room 8 vs Room 3


On Tuesday 26th May Room 8 played their first match of the KRS Soccer World Cup. In our game against Room 3, we won 3 - 0. It was a great match and our teacher thought we were flaming hot!. We now have four more games to win to get into the next round. This year our teacher is determined to have us win the finals as Room 8 finished 4th place last year. The finals will be held in term 3. Watch this space for more KRS Soccer World Cup News.
