The Secret Football Club

That week at the end of September was one of the best Lily and her friends could remember. They weren’t just playing football; they were playing secret football.

And secret football was something special. Knowing that only eight of them were in on the secret felt good. So was playing under the nose of Mr Edwards.

But they didn’t neglect school. They worked hard in the classroom, then worked hard on the pitch. Morning break. Lunchtime. Afternoon break.

The score after the first week was 32–30 to James’s team. Really close – and really exciting.

Mrs Baker was still teaching them about the fourteenth century, and that was what Year Six decided to do as a theme for the school’s centenary.

Mrs Baker helped the children design the clothes and Maddie’s mum cut out the patterns for rough trousers and tops that might have been worn in the fourteenth century. Then the children had to sew their own trousers and shirts together.

Zack suggested they dress up as mob footballers and re-enact a game. And – to everyone’s surprise – Mrs Baker agreed. She said it was history – and, therefore, it was fine.

Lily looked over at Oliver Sykes as she said this. She could see him frowning. She even felt a bit sorry for Oliver: him hating sport so much.
