Wow, what a night! England in the World Cup semi finals for the first time since 1990!

We decided to show the big match on our massive screen in the marquee and invited along parents and pupils to join us in the celebration.

We all got into the spirit of things with flags and face-paint everywhere, not to mention plenty of eager football fans ready to cheer their team to victory.

Five minutes into the game and suddenly…

GOAL!!!

The crowd erupted, the cheers could probably be heard throughout Hayle, everyone on their feet. What an atmosphere!

And then there followed a rather excellent 40 minutes of football with England dominating with possession and shots on goal. Surely, this is our match to win.

At half time it was an opportunity to relax and to get a few photos of everyone looking happy and excited – I’m sure the second half will be just as good!

More details on the second half to follow…
