At the Double
QE's Football C Team completed a great season by winning the league and cup double!
The team play in the Cleveland Schools 2nd Division and finished the season having played 9 league games, winning 8 and losing only 1. They scored a total of 44 goals and conceded only 6 in the process. This achievement is even more impressive as the team is the College’s third team but play in a league of mostly first and second teams from other colleges. As well as the successful league campaign, the team also defended the Eric Bell Cup where they played Stockton Sixth Form in the Final at Darlington RA. The game ended 1-1 after extra time and the lads held their nerve to win 4-3 on penalties with keeper Chris Lupton saving two Stockton spot kicks.
Paul Carroll, Sports Co-ordinator at Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College commented:
“The lads have had a great season. It has been a superb effort by all of the players and by team manager Gary Hornsby who supports and motivates all of the players so well.”
