We are enormously proud of our Y10 boys football team who lifted The Newcastle city schools under 15 Exhibition Cup to became the Champions! The competition has run since 1933, it is a historic competition and this year we are UNBEATEN in the league! On the way to the final, the Y10 boys played arch rivals Benfield in a knockout game, winning 2:0 with Craig M and Archie M scoring in the second half in a game which was dominated by Excelsior, securing a place in the final. The final was played against Callerton (who beat St Mary's on penalties), and again the Excelsior boys dominated from the first whistle, each player giving 100%, supporting each other, being brave and courageous in the tackle but also fearless in their play. Archie M went close executing an excellent lob over the goalkeeper in the first half, but was goal disallowed for being offside but only minutes later Oliver W a unsung hero, working hard on the right hand-side to regain possession, beat two players before slotting the ball into the far post. Huge thanks go to our PE staff Mr Nesbitt who led the team who said "It would be unjust of me to select a Player of the Match (s), it was a team performance, SUPERB results!" We would also like to thank our Assistant Coach: Martins E & Dennis A (Excelsior College) as well as the valuable support duo of Mr Goodman & Mr Douglas. A job extremely well done!
