IT has been an unbelievable season for the Long Stratton High School's football teams.
Mark Passey, Head of PE said: “What has been achieved this year is unprecedented and unlikely to occur very easily in the future.” Long Stratton is a small high school but the teams have appeared in eight finals winning seven of them. They are as follows:
Year Eight: County Cup Champions, South Norfolk League and Cup winners; Year Nine: South Norfolk League winners; Year 10 South: Norfolk League and Cup winners; Year 11 South: Norfolk Cup winners, League runners-up.
As part of the updating of the school entrance, a new trophy cabinet has been bought, but this is now too small with all the trophies that have been won.
Paul Adam, head teacher, said: “A special thank you to Mark Passey, head of PE, for all his hard work with the teams, and congratulations to the team themselves.”
Neil Collins, chair of governors, said: “Mention football to most people and they think of overpaid millionaires and a glamorous lifestyle. This is what football is really about though, your people enjoying themselves, learning about team work and putting the effort in to succeed.
