Well done to the Year 8 Football team who on Thursday, played in the Elite Cup Semi-Final Vs Thomas Telford School.
To reach the semi-final is an incredible achievement and the furthest the school has reached in over 15 years!
Unfortunately, the team narrowly missed out on reaching the final after losing 2-1 to an incredibly strong opposition.
The team should be very proud of themselves for putting in an exceptional performance and battling extremely hard; we were in the game until the very end.
St. Aidan’s went 2-0 down in the first half before Henry Wardle managed to get a goal back just before the half-time whistle. We had a couple of opportunities in the second half to equalise and take the game to extra-time but unfortunately, we were unable to convert these chances into the goal we needed.
Well done to all involved including the team’s fantastic coach Mr Maullin. What an amazing experience!
The team were: James Barraclough, Will Swales, Ryan Dyson, Ben Dickinson, Archie Wilson, Isaac Alker, Henry Wardle (c), Isaiah Prosper, James De Bussy, Dan Pears, Theo Storr, Ewan Rhodes, Cole Watson, Joe Thompson and Dom Twiggs.
