The U13 girls’ football team staged a fantastic comeback on Tuesday evening, to win the county cup for the second year running.

The girls were 3:1 down to Kimberley at half time, but showed fantastic spirit to win the game 4:3.

Louise Wray, who coaches the girls, said: “We had a weakened squad for this game due to illness and injury. Fortunately Olivia Lee-Brown and Zoe McElhinney stood in and were fantastic, giving 100% effort. I’m really proud of the team and this trophy tops off a great season for them.”

The U19s’ football team have won the South Notts cup for the fourth year running, after beating Bramcote College 2-0.
 

Mr Crawley, who coaches the team, said: “The game was much tougher than expected with awful conditions, but the team put in a fantastic performance.”
 

The goals were a header from captain David Corder and a 20 yard screamer from Sam Huckerby. Man of the match was Jake Glover.
