FOOTBALL SUCCESS
The Year 7 boys have won the Preston Rotary Club Under 12's 5 a-side tournament. Eleven schools took part from
the area. We were drawn in a tough group with Longridge and Archbishop Temple. We came second in the group
just behind Longridge after some close games. However second place was enough to qualify and we drew Corpus
Christi in the quarter-final, we won this game 4-3. Then we drew Leyland St Bede's in the semi-final and came back
from 2-0 down to win 3-2. This meant a rematch with Longridge in the final. We drew the game 3-3 which meant a
penalty shoot-out. Cian Hayes, Owen Strickland, Finton McGuire and Liam Corless scored their penalties and
Longridge missed two penalties meaning we won 5-3. This means that we will represent the area in a national Rotary
5 a-side tournament on 31 May at St George's Park. Our man of the tournament was Daniel Hooper.
