The running of a B league by the County Schools Football Association has been well received by schools, and both St Mary’s Year 7 B and Year 8 B football teams recorded wins in their opening games of the season against Whitecross this evening.

The Year 7 B team game was a 9 aside format. The boys were defensively sound at the same time as offering good passing and movement in attack.  The game was level at half time, but a second half hat trick from Maceyn saw St Mary’s come out on top with a 3-1 victory. 

Squad from: Harry, Joe, Ryley, Benedict, Jacob, Cyrus, Tom, Zac, Charlie, Maceyn, Lewis, Marcel.

The Year 8 Bs playing a standard 11 aside format beat Whitecross 4-2, with a brace of goals from Maty, and one apiece from Jack and Louis.

Squad from: Nathanael, Will, Cody, Isiah, A-Jay, Charlie, Maty, Louis, Jack, Xavier, Theo, Jack.

My thanks to our pupil team managers: James, and Tom/Harry/Owen, who did a great job in looking after the Year 7 and 8s respectively.
