ISA Football Nationals Tournament 2022

On Friday 11^th March a boy’s team from Upper Two took part in the ISA football Nationals. Which was held at St George’s park the home of England’s football Association's national football centre. There were 28 teams divided into four pools for the opening rounds, the boys managed to win 4 and draw twice.

This meant they had qualified for the quarter finals, unfortunately they lost their next three games and did not progress any further in the tournament. However, they played some good football and were a really credit to the school. I am sure they will never forget their day played in an inspirational place.

The 'B' team managed to win two games in their pool which took them through to the Plate competition. In the next round they played Cambridge International and lost which meant they were knocked out of the competition, although this experience will hold them in good stead in the future.

The 'A' team managed to win all five games in their pool matches and were put through to the quarter finals where they met Littlegarth and managed to win 1-0. Alleyn Court awaited them in the semi-finals which proved to be a very close game and was decided on penalties - both our keeper and penalty takers were exceptional and we won 2-0. The final against Colchester High proved to be another very close game which went to ‘Golden Goal’ in the dying minutes of extra time. Unfortunately Colchester was the first to score which meant we finished as runners-up. All the boys were a credit to themselves and the school.

Their finishing position means that they qualify for the national event of this competition which is due to take place on Friday 15^th March at Dixie Grammar School in Leicestershire.
