• Year 7 and 8 Boys football team reach the quarter finals
• The Year 7&8 team continued their unbeaten start to the season and in doing so, qualified into the quarter finals of the Investec ISFA National Cup. On the receiving end were Truro from Cornwall, 3-1 was the score but Priory were dominant throughout. Priory’s passing was a joy to watch, which lead to Odin Bailey showing a delightful touch and scoring after a rebound. Keanu Murrain then scored a “rip-snorter” after charging up the line and blasted the ball into the roof of the goal. Priory continued to be dominant, hitting the woodwork twice and missing many chances but Platini sealed the game with another “Platini special” chipping in from 35 yards. This was a great performance which even had the Truro parents clapping!! Another great performance from the team which now means they are ranked in the top 8 independent schools in the country.
