Young footballers qualify for national championships

Sporting students from St Piran's School in Gringer Hill have won themselves a place at the ISFA U11 Seven-A-Side National Championships.

The football team fought off competition from 15 other schools to lift the trophy as the Berks, Bucks and Oxon Regional Seven-a-Side Football Champions and secure their place at nationals.

St Piran's played Yatley Manor in the tournament finals held at Elstree School in Woolhampton on October 17.

Head of boys games, Mike Smith, started at the school in September and said the team were 'delighted' with the result.

The national championships will take place in April at St Georges Park, Burton upon Trent.
