King Edward VI Grammar School win Year 7 derby with Cordeaux
They took a first-half lead in a close-fought match courtesy of Mikey Baldwin-McGhee’s goal and Oliver Croft’s penalty.
The Cordeaux defence prevented further damage after the break as their opponents played some fine football, but with just minutes to go, man-of-the-match Henry James put Sam Jewel through to slot the third and cap a superb team performance.

They played some stunning rugby until they met the Bedfordshire champions, but ended the day in a respectable fifth place from 10 counties. Their only defeats came to both of the eventual finalists.
The players’ player award was shared between Grace Parrot and Emily Sturgess.
