The Year 9 football team got off to a brilliant start to their season beating Cockburn John Charles Academy 5-1. The team dominated the first half but after a great performance from the opposition keeper, they went into half time at 0-0. The second half started much like the first but this time with more quality in front of goal. Every player who represented the school played amazingly and showed good resilience to keep going and eventually, get their reward with more chances coming towards the end of the game. Stand out performances were Luca Borcanescu for a brilliant defensive performance and Sadiq Alhassan who dominated midfield and scored a wonderful goal.
