After losing their first game, the team went back to the training  ground to prepare for their next match, which was a home game against  Wyburns Primary School. This transpired to be a game where Rayleigh Primary School played to their full potential,  playing a standard of football that would be classed as amazing, even for a year 6 team. Overall, an outstanding performance which saw Rayleigh Primary chalking up a 5 – 1 win.
