Last night (in terrible conditions) our Y7 football team won the Wigan and Leigh Schools Cup Final : 4 - 1 vs Outwood Academy (Hindley)

This is an incredible result as the team were only formed in September.  They have stayed unbeaten all season, ending on a fantastic win!  From the first kick of the ball last night, the SEA team were focused, hitting the post just 30 seconds after kick-off! They soon made their dominance pay through Zach Banasko's long range effort finding the bottom corner. More chances fell their way and with the rain pouring down they stuck to the game plan, playing some great football, and went into the half time break leading 3 -0. 

The boys continued to display determination and strength into the 2nd half and ran out fully deserving winners 4 - 1 at full time sparking joyous celebrations!

This team has been a pleasure to work with all season and have represented the school superbly throughout the year.  The way they work for each other and back each other up is their biggest quality, they look like a team who've played together for years! 

As this is the final football email of the year, a big thanks must go to the all the staff who attended and helped out last night and throughout the year. A special mention must go to Mr Hind, who not only organises the finals night for us and all the other schools but gives his time up on countless evenings throughout the year to organise, manage, coach, referee, press officer, first aider and everything else!
