Our successful 2006 team pictured with the Haywards Heath Tournament Trophy Season 2004-05 Update Our school team performed really well in the 2004-05 Sainsbury's Mid-Sussex 7 a side Tournament held on Tuesday 12th October at London Meed School. In their group our team beat London Meed 'B' 1-0, St Wilfrid's Burgess Hill 1-0 and Birchwood Grove 1-0 to top the group with a maximum 9 points. We then progressed to the semi-final group stage (2 groups) of the competition where only one team qualified from each group for the final. At this stage, we drew 0-0 with London Meed 'A', beat Manor Field 1-0 and lost our final match 0-1 to Harlands when only a draw would have been enough to reach the final. In the final Birchwood Grove, whom we had beat in the first group stage, beat Harlands 1-0. Well done to all of our team for such a fantastic display. The squad featured: William Duncan, Tom Fitzgerald, Jamie Duncan, Mathew Coghlan, Louis Rice, Harvey Blake, Jack Brown and Joe Sissons. Later in the season we reached the final of the Haywards Heath Primary Schools' Tournament where we played a closely fought game against Blackthorns School. Finally after a tense extra time period the scores were still level at 1-1 and it was agreed between the two teams to share the trophy.
