Fantastic Football Match

On Tuesday 25th September seventeen year 9 students had their very first 11-a-side football match.
Although they didn’t get the result they would have hoped for, they worked extremely hard.
Mr Major said "I was exceptionally proud of the team spirit, sportsmanship and mature attitude of the team.
"When most people watch sport they can be quick to focus on the result, whereas these boys still had team spirit after a 12-2 defeat.
"They really lived up to our #noexcuses strap line! I found a couple of quotes that best summarise the boy’s performance.
“Winners never quit and quitters never win”
“The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat, without loosing heart”
"Well done boys!"
