Boys’ Football

Another fantastic year for football is closing this term with a few notable successes. The U13s continued to build on their good year by defeating Lingfield College in the ISFA quarter-finals 3-1. In the semi-finals, they played Eaton Manor School and fought hard but lost the game to a solidarity goal. The U13s have exceeded expectations this year with five of the boys representing ISFA as well.

The U15s managed to go one better. They defeated Rossall School on penalties in the semi-finals to book their place in the ISFA shield final to be held on 20th April at Burnham FC. A hard-fought game saw the U15s come from a goal down in unseasonably harsh conditions. They showed true Chigwell spirit to overcome all the odds. Under the stewardship of Mr Mickey Payne the U15s again have proved their worth and find themselves in this prestigious final. The school hopes this is a successful occasion and will be the first time for a number of years to see Chigwell back in a national final. We wish them every luck in pursuit of the title. The details of the match are:
