Newark Football Champions
The 'A' football team became the latest group to win the coveted Newark Schools' Autumn Football tournament. The boys were undefeated in their group, winning 4 and drawing 2 of their 6 matches including a resounding 3-0 win over fierce rivals Chuter Ede.
The team advanced into the semi-final without conceding a goal and continued in this style in the knock-out round. The semi against Coddington was an excellent match; Dean Robinson securing victory with an outstanding finish with 4 seconds left on the referee's watch!
The final was a tight affair too, pitching us against John Blow from Collingham, who we had beaten 2-0 earlier in the day. Still 0-0 after extra-time the match went to penalties.
The deciding kick fell to goalkeeper Harvey Willis who calmly slotted the ball home for a famous victory.
The boys will now go on to the County 7-a-side and 5-a-side finals representing Newark & Sherwood District. Thank you to everyone involved.
