On Tuesday, 2nd June 2026, the iconic home of Doncaster Rovers, the Eco Power Stadium, was filled with roaring crowds, brilliant sunshine, a touch of classic British rain, and some of the finest young footballing talent in the region. The 2026 Stoneacre Cup was officially our best tournament yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every single year, this event grows into something special. For 2026, we introduced an exciting twist by moving the tournament to Years 2 and 3. This brought a completely fresh wave of energy, camaraderie, and pure joy to the pitch. Here is a look back at an unforgettable day of community spirit and sporting action. Take a look below to watch the excitement unfold!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stoneacre Cup 2026 Match Highlights\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P2mtu4a3b9s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Playing on a Professional Pitch<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Stoneacre Cup is a unique one-day tournament that gives local children the life-changing opportunity to lace up their boots and step out onto the professional Doncaster Rovers first team pitch. This year, we welcomed eight fantastic Doncaster primary schools to compete in a fast-paced, 7-a-side football tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each school brought a mixed squad of ten eager players. To keep things fair and balanced, the rules stated that teams must have three boys and three girls as outfield players at all times, with the choice of goalkeeper left entirely up to the managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make sure the children truly felt like professionals, every single participating school received a brand new, quality football kit, complete with a goalkeeper strip. The kit colours were chosen to represent the school&#8217;s themselves, making the pitch look like a vibrant sea of colour as the matches kicked off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex gallery-mobile-stack\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" data-id=\"26059\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Winners-Owston-Park.webp\" alt=\"Winners of the Stoneacre Cup: Owston Park Primary School\" class=\"wp-image-26059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Winners-Owston-Park.webp 650w, https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Winners-Owston-Park-300x208.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Winners of the Stoneacre Cup: Owston Park Primary School<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" data-id=\"26058\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Spa-Academy-Askern.webp\" alt=\"3rd Place: Spa Academy Askern\" class=\"wp-image-26058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Spa-Academy-Askern.webp 650w, https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Spa-Academy-Askern-300x208.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">3rd Place: Spa Academy Askern featuring team Mascot Sydney the Swan <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Crowds and the Grand Finale<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We asked schools to bring along a coach full of spectators, and the local community certainly did not disappoint. The stands were absolutely packed. Parents, carers, teachers, and classmates created a lively, buzzing atmosphere that lifted the young players and gave them a true stadium experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The standard of football on display was phenomenal. Despite a little bit of rain trying to dampen the mood, the quality of play never wavered. After a series of thrilling and highly competitive matches, the final standings were locked in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A massive congratulations goes to Owston Park Primary Academy, who played brilliantly to take home the 1st place premium trophy. Brad, a teacher from Owston Park Primary Academy, stated: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">&#8220;The Stoneacre Cup continues to be a fantastic event that brings schools, pupils, staff and communities together through football. I\u2019m proud to help coordinate the competition each year, working alongside the Stoneacre team to create a memorable experience for all eight schools involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">This year\u2019s tournament had a brilliant atmosphere, and I particularly enjoyed seeing the younger age groups take part, which brought a different energy and excitement to the day. Stoneacre\u2019s support makes a huge difference, from providing kits and transport funding to rewarding every participant and celebrating the schools\u2019 achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">As both a PE teacher and one of the event organisers, it was especially rewarding to see Owston Park Primary Academy win the cup for the first time in the competition\u2019s six-year history. I was incredibly proud of our team, who showed great teamwork, determination and sportsmanship throughout the day. Winning was a wonderful bonus, but the real success was seeing so many children enjoy such a positive and memorable experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here is how the final tournament leaderboard looked:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1st Place: Owston Park Primary Academy (\u00a3750 prize)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2nd Place: Sunnyfields Primary School (\u00a3500 prize)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3rd Place: Spa Academy Askern (\u00a3375 prize)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4th Place: Hatchellwood Primary Academy (\u00a3300 prize)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5th Place: Scawsby Junior Academy (\u00a3200 prize)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6th Place: Pheasant Bank Academy (\u00a3150 prize)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7th Place: Plover Primary School (\u00a3125 prize)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>8th Place: Mallard Primary School (\u00a3100 prize)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>No one went home empty-handed. Every single school was awarded a share of the prize money pot, alongside high quality medals for every single player who took part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Creating an Inclusive Community Legacy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Stoneacre, we want this tournament to touch as many lives as possible. Because of this, we run a special rotation system for the schools each year. This allows us to welcome brand new schools from different areas of Doncaster while keeping a few returning schools to help the day run smoothly. It means we can focus our extra support on the children experiencing the big stadium environment for the very first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The excitement also stretched far beyond the pitch. We ran a social media engagement competition, offering an extra \u00a3250 for 1st, \u00a3150 for 2nd, and \u00a3100 for 3rd place for the schools that generated the most online buzz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex gallery-mobile-stack\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" data-id=\"26061\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Scawsby.webp\" alt=\"5th Place: Scawsby Junior Academy\" class=\"wp-image-26061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Scawsby.webp 650w, https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Scawsby-300x208.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">5th Place: Scawsby Junior Academy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" data-id=\"26062\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Stoneacre-Social-Team.webp\" alt=\"Our Very Own Stoneacre Team\" class=\"wp-image-26062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Stoneacre-Social-Team.webp 650w, https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Stoneacre-Social-Team-300x208.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our Very Own Stoneacre Team<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The response from the teachers, children, and families involved sums up exactly why we love hosting this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James, a teacher at Sunnyfields Primary School, shared his feedback with us after the event:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">&#8220;Thank you so much again for the opportunity, kits and prize money. Thank you again so much for all your hard work, and please send on our huge thank you to Shaun and the rest of the Stoneacre team for such a fabulous opportunity for our children and families.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>We also received a wonderful message from Josh, a teacher at Plover Primary School, who highlighted how the tournament brought their entire school community together:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">&#8220;Everyone at Plover Primary School feels so fortunate and honoured to have taken part in the Stoneacre Cup 2026. The whole Plover community got involved and showed great support towards our Y2\/3 &#8216;Plover Purple Players&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">The feedback, comments and support from our parents\/carers who attended the day absolutely loved it, they said how much of a spectacle it was. Parents of children not involved were so enthusiastic about the day and the Social Media Campaign competition, which celebrated the success of our school and Stoneacre!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">The children, staff, and parents\/carers have all asked if we will take part in 2027, so we hope we can make more children&#8217;s dreams come true here at Plover!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">As a school, we were so grateful for the opportunity and so thankful and appreciative of the stunning brand-new football kits, equipment, and prize money that have been awarded to us. It will have a massive impact on our school community!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Our very own Social Media Manager at Stoneacre, Charlotte, was on the sidelines capturing all the action and perfectly wrapped up the day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">&#8220;The best Stoneacre Cup yet, they get better year on year! Switching to Y2 &amp; Y3 brought fresh energy, brilliant football and real camaraderie; a bit of rain couldn\u2019t touch the quality of play, and the incredible crowds made the atmosphere unforgettable&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Hearing this feedback makes all the hard work worthwhile. We are already looking forward to making more dreams come true in 2027. Thank you to everyone who came down, cheered, and made the 2026 Stoneacre Cup a day we will never forget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A look back at the 2026 Stoneacre Cup at Doncaster Eco Power Stadium.
