Winston finally meet their match


 
Situated in the vast, impressive and beautifully kept Chelsea F C training ground in Cobham, Winston Churchill's Y11 boys played their last match in the English Schools National Football Cup.

They were pitted against Whiftgift School from Croydon who were previous winners, semi finalists & finalists in recent years. Our boys played valiantly and battled hard taking the game to extra time after being a goal down in the first half. Rob Atkinson shot a fantastic goal to equalise in the second half, but the dream was not to be. Whiftgift scored again in extra time and held on to their lead.

Understandably the boys were disappointed but they should hold their heads up high. According to the Whitgift coach, Winston was the most difficult opposition their side had faced in the competition and our boys were "the most resilient against them".

Once again our Y11s "did us proud"; this is an experience that they will not forget. Amazing!!
