On Thursday 30^th January 2025, Mr Wheeler and the Year 8 boys football team had a fantastic evening, finishing as runners-up in the tournament.

The boys eased through their group finishing second after beating Chadwell 2-0 with a brace from Denikel and then beating Forest 2-0 in their second game.

Already being through, we lost our last group game to Ilford County but had already cemented our spot in the Semi-Final. In a closely contested semi-final against Valentines, we took an early lead through William U., as his strike found the back of the net. Valentines then equalised, but that didn't stop substitute Basil coming off of the bench to place a well timed shot into the bottom corner putting us into the final. 

In the final, we played against the team that had already beaten us, Ilford County. The teams could not be separated in normal time thanks to some superb goalkeeping from Abdulbathin in the Mayfield goal. As time ended, only penalties could separate the two teams! Mayfield narrowly lost 3-2 and finished runners up.

Mr Wheeler is extremely proud of how far the boys have come and next time they will hopefully go one better!
