Come on Marple!

I’m mentioned a couple of time recently about the fantastic success of two of our football teams this year. Firstly, the Yr11 boys team had a stellar final season for the school winning the Stockport Schools League as well as coming close runners up in the Greater Manchester School Cup. The boys played brilliantly all year and thoroughly deserved their success, and have inspired many younger players coming through behind them.

Whilst the boy’s season is over (and their exams are now in full swing), the U15 girls team is powering on. The team, made up of girls in Years 9 and 10, are still in three major competitions. Details are below in case anyone wants to go along and support.

Monday 19th May – Stockport League Final

Venue: Edgeley Park

Opposition: Cheadle Hulme School

Kick-off: 4pm

Stadium arrival: 3.15pm

Spectators Admission: £5 adults / £3 U18s (probably cash only!)

Thursday 22nd May – Greater Manchester Cup Final

Venue: Lower Broughton Playing Fields, Salford

Opposition: Crompton House School

Kick-off: 3.45

Spectators Admission: £2 adults / £1 concessions (cash only)

And then, as if that isn’t impressive enough…today (Thursday 15th May), the girls won their quarter final game in the English Schools FA Cup. Having beaten Comberton Village College the girls are into the last four of this national competition. Amazing!!

Well done to Ellie, Ellie, Madison, Katie, Izzie, Isla, Daisy, Felicitee, Penny, Lucy, Connie, Poppy-Jo, Freya, Phoebe, Amy and Daisy…and to coach Stretton too!

Best wishes,

Joe Barker
