Our new football team have already played six games into their new season, and have made a fine start with four victories. The Y6 boys have shown some great leadership, to support several players from Y5 and Y4 in a youthful squad. The team should look forward with confidence to the fixtures resuming in 2020!

Lennox Heslop enjoyed an England Talent ID Day at the Beacon of Light in Sunderland. He met an inspirational role model in England international George Ferguson (partially sighted) at the event. Lennox had a great time and scored plenty of goals on the new roof top pitch.

The school football team completed their league campaign with a 3-0 victory over St. Mary’s RC. The boys have enjoyed a very good season where they have finished Runners Up in the Coyne League. The St. Bede’s players have always played the game in the right spirit and have been a credit to their school.

The team have been superbly captained by Will Watson, who amazingly made his school football debut in Y2. Mahad Uzair has developed into an excellent goalkeeper, while Lucas Britton has grown in stature in each game in defence. Mason Williams and Ryley Wardale have been both versatile and effective in defence or in midfield. Jude Hill has been full of energy and possesses a cultured left foot, while Saul Connor has given the team plenty of quality up front. Meanwhile, Jack Murphy finishes the season as our top goal scorer, quite an achievement for the young, creative midfielder.

Thank you very much to the parents who have supported the boys in the League this season. Finally, thank you to the boys for your commitment and entertaining play throughout.
