Year 10 Boys Football Team: Trafford Champions 2015-2016

Posted on: June 14th 2016

Congratulations to the Year 10 football team who once again have finished a brilliant season with some silverware. After losing an extremely close league semi-final to Urmston 1-0 the team managed to pick themselves up and beat some very good teams on the way to the Year 10 Trafford Cup Final where they met Broadoak School. The final was played in the inspiring surroundings of the Manchester United Training Complex in Carrington and this seemed to lift the team as they fought their way to 1-0 lead at half time. After the break Broadoak came out fighting and earned a free kick just outside the box which they sent flying into the net to make it one each and the last fifteen minutes really exciting. There where chances at both ends but Sale showed great determination, grit and resiliency to fight back and score to lead 2-1 with just minutes left. The final whistle went and the boys had held on to be crowned Trafford Cup Winners. Another superb win for one of Sale Grammar schools most successful ever teams in Trafford. The team have been in seven out of the eight possible finals they could have reached since Year 7 and have won five of the seven finals. Looking forward to next year let’s hope they can make it seven out of ten wins by repeating their success of last year and winning the double in their last year.
