Wakefield schoolgirl Bethany Lee has won the National UMBRO ‘Up For The Cup’ Design a Matchball Competition.
 
Eleven year old Bethany from Carleton Park Primary School, Pontefract, had her matchball design chosen from thousands of entries nationwide and has won herself two tickets to The FA Cup Final at the brand new Wembley stadium this weekend !
 
The school will also receive ten replica Umbro FA Cup X Balls as well as a unique ball featuring Bethany ’s winning design!
 
Carleton Park Primary School held a full school assembly to congratulate Bethany on her fantastic achievement and there to make the award were Andrew Shuttleworth (West Riding County FA Football Development Officer), Dan Drew (Umbro) and Barry Chaplin ( West Riding County FA and Castleford District FA representative).

Up For The Cup is a cross-curricular resource for Key Stage 2 based around the excitement of The FA Cup competition.  Steeped in history and reaching every corner of the country, The FA Cup competition is a motivating platform from which to deliver key curriculum subjects.

The ‘Design a Match Ball’ competition is one part of the Up For The Cup resource.  The activity is designed to provide pupils with experience of using colours and patterns and an understanding of how these elements can be combined and organised.  It also provides an opportunity to learn about tessellation.  Each pupil that entered the competition received a Get Into Football wristband and an Up For The Cup certificate to reward the efforts of taking part.

Once again – huge CONGRATULATIONS to Bethany !!
