On Monday, the Year 8 football team played their cup match against Our Lady and St Chad’s after beating Coppice in the previous round.

Bobby Dunn, Dan Erlington, Jabari Douglas, Wayne Terry, Adam langston, Aidan Sherwin, Cieran Clifton, Cameron Owen, Harun Rahahala, Ali Rahemi, Dominik Sasin, Addel Khan, Harveer Kylair and Devonte Clayton all represented the academy very well.

Ali Rahemi scored a very good free kick to put St Edmund’s a goal ahead before St Chad’s made it 1-1. Then Dominik Sasin scored a header to make it 2-1 to St Edmund’s.

Unfortunately the second half didn’t go to plan and St Chad’s ended up winning 5-2. The Year 8 team can count themselves very unlucky to have lost the match by such a margin.

It was an excellent game of football with many positives to take away from the match. Well done to the team.
