"We are very proud of the second men's football team for winning the title and then the play off final. This is a great achievement as they were unbeaten all season, winning every game and never going behind in any game. It is a special achievement as they struggled to win a game last season. More importantly though the players have shown 100% effort and not had one booking or sending off showing their fair play at all times."

"They have always praised the opposition's efforts and never became big headed despite their success, which I believe bodes well as they leave college and enter the wider community as good sports players but even better people."

Alongside their studies, the team train and play matches in their spare time developing their skills in organisation and time management, creating an incredible community the college is extremely proud of.
