Bishop’s Cup Success

A huge well done to the school football team on coming runners up in the Diocesan school’s Bishop’s Cup competition. Having progressed through a number of preliminary rounds, the team took part in the finals night last Thursday, competing against: St Aloysius (Hebburn), St Bernadette’s (Wallsend) and English Martyrs (Fenham). The team won two games on the night, and drew with the over all winners, St Bernadette’s, coming excruciatingly close to victory—only being denied by St Bernadette’s superior goal difference. The team played wonderfully on the night—despite being two players down—and, as always, competed in a sporting and fair manner.
