Last week the Y7 A Team played in the Town Cup Final at Rockliffe Hall against a very strong Trinity Catholic College side.
Earlier this year, the teams played out a highly entertaining 3-3 draw, but on this occasion Trinity proved too strong and ran out comfortable winners.
Commiserations to the Y7 team, who did brilliantly to reach the final. A huge well done to all of the players involved throughout the cup run. A fantastic achievement to make it that far.

We are so proud of the effort, teamwork and attitude shown by both squads on and off the pitch.

67 students had an incredible Easter trip to Benalmádena, Spain for a football and netball festival! With fantastic weather and a 5 star beachfront hotel, students trained daily, competed in tough tournaments, and enjoyed experiences like a dolphin-spotting catamaran cruise. A huge well done to our U15 girls’ football team, who won every game to become festival champions! A brilliant trip filled with sport, sunshine, and great memories. Thank you to the staff who made it possible.
