Grey Coat Hospital School (West London SFA) 0-2 St Ivo School (Huntingdon SFA)

What a superb way to complete the ESFA competitions’ programme for 2013-14. The two finalists in our newest competition, the U12 9-a-side Schools’ Cup for girls, met at Bisham Abbey on Friday 11 July and took part in what would undoubtedly be the top football game of the weekend (the same weekend as the World Cup final). The quality of football was helped by the billiard table like preparation of the pitch by the ground staff; if only games could always be played on surfaces as good as this.

St Ivo School scored twice in the second half through Ellie Burgess and Ellie Jefferson, to ensure that their name would be first on the new trophy.

At the end of the game both teams were congratulated on their sporting attitudes, shaking hands and congratulating each other on a really entertaining game. They were thanked for not diving, biting, crying and behaving like some grown men!

Yes, football is alive and well and being played correctly in our schools.
