WE'RE ALL GOING TO WEMBLEY!
On Monday, 9th March 2020 our boys football team went to represent Leyton Orient FC in the League 2 South Regional finals of the EFL Kids Cup at Swindon Town FC. We played 5 games in the group stages; and qualified for the semi finals against Cheltenham FC. The game finished 1-1 after extra time and we won the penalty shootout 2 - 0. The final was against the host Swindon Town FC for the chance to play in the famous Wembley turf. The game ended 1 -1 after extra time. The match was going to be decided by a penalty shootout. Our boys didn't bulk under pressure and won the shootout 3 -1 to reach the finals. We will now play the winner of the League 2 North Regional winners. We as school are very proud of the boys football team and Mr Hussain for this fantastic achievement. We wish them all the best for the finals in May.
