🏆Staff vs Parents at OVS!🏆
What a fantastic afternoon at OVS! 🎉 A huge well done to everyone who took part in today’s Staff v Parents game. There was plenty of energy, teamwork, competitive spirit and, most importantly, lots of fun! 🙌
A massive thank you to Mr Hitchcock for organising the event and to everyone who got involved, including those who came along to support. It’s brilliant to see our OVS community coming together, sharing a few laughs and making memories both on and off the pitch! 💙
The big question is… who’s claiming the bragging rights until next time?! 👀😂
