First Fixture for New Year 7 Football Squad

We had almost 80 Year 7 students turn up to our trials for our Year 7 football team, which was amazing, but also very difficult to select an initial squad from! After three weeks of successive trials a squad of 13 was selected for our first fixture against Leyland St Marys in the South Ribble Schools League.
