U11’s lifted the Chester Schools’ FA Cup!

The U11 A team lifted the Chester Schools’ FA Cup after a 2-0 win over Saughall All Saints, crowning a magnificent season.

Both goals were scored by the captain, Charlie Beyeler (J4O). The boys triumphed over 40 other teams to take the title,  adding more silverware to an impressive trophy cabinet, which already includes the AJIS Cup which was won back in March against Stockport.

It was a very competitive and robust game against a team who were previously unbeaten. King’s put up a defiant rear guard action, balanced with sublime passing and movement in the attacking third of the field which brought the decisive goals needed to win the game.

Thirty-one goals were scored by King’s in this competition and three were conceded.

The squad consists of goalkeeper Caspar Rathbone (J4M); defenders Owen Ewart (J4S), Jacob Pavel-Knox (J4O) and Alex Popplewell (J4O); midfield players Rory Delafaille (J4M), Jack Nash (J4M), Jacob Watson (J3B), Ben Pold (J3S) and Aris Manolopoulos (J4S); the forward role is filled by Charlie Beyeler.

Overall, the team have played 15 matches this year, winning 14 and losing only one back in September at the very start of the season. They have scored a huge total of 78 goals and conceded only 20.

Coach Mr Spellman said, “I’m over the moon. First Manchester City secure the treble and then King’s win the double – this adds up to the prefect 5 Star season of football.”

Captain Beyeler said, “It was a team effort and we have to thank our fabulous coach and our loyal parents who have supported us over this 10-month mammoth but hugely productive and enjoyable season.”
