Alma gears up for national cup finals

The football season may be over for most schools but boys from Alma Primary in Whetstone will be continuing to practise hard over the next few weeks.

They are gearing up to compete in the finals of the Under-11 Small Schools Cup, which is part of the national Pokemon competition.

There are two other cups up for grabs in the contest, which attracted over 5,000 teams involving 50,000 children overall.

After being asked to represent Barnet, Alma won the borough qualifier and triumphed again, representing Middlesex in the South-East regional finals last term.
