Football squad start season in style

St Bonaventure’s Year 7 football squad began the new season in style with a crushing victory.

The Newham pupils took on rivals Brampton Manor and ran out convincing winners by a 9-1 margin to give manager Mr Topping a superb start to his spell in charge.

And St Bons completed a double in the B team fixture, claiming a 3-0 triumph.

Honours finished even in a Year 9 clash between St Bons and Rokeby, as the two rivals battled to a 2-2 draw.

And the two schools are due to meet again today in a Year 7 fixture on Rokeby’s new 3G pitch.
