Congratulations to our Year 11 football team who have made it through to the semi-finals of the ESFA Open National Cup for the third year running.
They beat Leiciester team Beauchamp College 3-0 in a tough match in very difficult weather conditions earlier this week. Goals came from Jacob and Josh.
Team captain Billy has been on the bench for a number of months now after tearing a cruciate ligament and is only just getting back to his best.
Both he and Josh have just signed two-year scholarship deals with Hull Tigers and will start training at the Bishop Burton College-based academy in July.
This will be the last chance the team have to push for a place in the national final together before they leave Malet Lambert for post-16 study/training later this year.
A force to be reckoned with amongst local school teams, the squad won both the Hull Schools Cup and Hull 5-a-side tournaments last year, plus were local champions three times over in Year 9.
They fell at the semi-finals of the national cup in Year 9 and Year 10 in tough matches, so we'll all be hoping that this is their year to make it to the next stage!
