A talented team of young footballers from St Joseph’s School in Burnham-On-Sea are celebrating a superb victory after winning this year’s ESFA Sedgemoor Area Finals held at Bridgwater College on Thursday 16th October.
The ten-strong squad played outstanding football throughout the tournament, which saw 11 schools from across the area competing.
St Joseph’s stormed through the group stages, winning every match and topping their group with victories over St Andrew’s, St John and St Francis, Eastover, the Huntspills and Somerset Bridge.
Their winning streak earned them a place in the final, where they faced a tough opponent in a closely contested match. With determination, teamwork and skill, the girls secured a 2-1 win to be crowned champions of the tournament.
St Joseph’s will now go on to represent the Sedgemoor Area in the County Finals, which are expected to be held in Weston in January.
The school and community are incredibly proud of the girls’ achievement and are looking forward to cheering them on in the next stage of the competition.
