After a year of regular friendly matches with both teams winning their fair share of games, parents and teachers decided to put their reputations on the line in full view of fellow parents, teachers, pupils and other visitors at the annual summer fete at St. Gabriel’s School, Newbury in the first-ever Prestige Challenge Cup football match.
A thrilling match saw the parents pull back from 3-0 down at half-time and ultimatley the goal-scoring skills of both teams were evenly-matched. With a final score of 4-4, parents and teachers will share the Cup until the 2010 annual summer fete.
Shawn Khorassani, from the event sponsors – language services company Prestige Network – said: “Parents and teachers were equally determined. At half time, it looked as though the teachers would be victorious but parents pulled back from the brink and proved that they were no soft target, resulting in a well-deserved draw and sharing the first-ever Prestige Challenge Cup.”
