A huge well done to our year 7, 8, 11 and Post 16 teams who represented Ashfield in the Town Cup football finals this week, held at Mansfield Town's One Call Stadium!! ⚽️

The finals are always a great experience for the students involved and we are extremely proud of all their efforts across the finals and throughout the season. The year 8 and 11 teams were crowned champions whilst the year 7s and Post 16 teams narrowly missed out in their respective finals.

A special mention goes out to those students in year 11 and 13 who played their final games for the school this week, a big thank you for all your efforts over the years. Well done everyone! 👏
