It was a super afternoon of Friday football for the Year 7s at City Of London. Akshat (Year 7) was a rock for the U12As in their good win. There were goals galore in the games with Salesian College, Kiaan (Year 9) and Niven (Year 7) both got themselves the match ball with hat-tricks. Year 10 goalscorer Joel made his debut for the 1st XI and was excellent against older pupils.
