Mersey schools make
finals
GRANGE Comprehensive School from
Runcorn and North Manchester High School from Manchester qualify for
UK National Final. Grange School from Runcorn beat North
Manchester High School from Manchester in the Final of the
Five-A-Side Football PlayStation Schools’ Cup, which took place at
the Walton Sports Centre in Merseyside, on 24 March 2006. However,
both teams now qualify for the UK Final taking place at the Crystal
Palace National Sports Centre, on 5 April.
36 school teams took part in the tournament based in Liverpool.
Grange School won 6 games, drew 1 and lost 2 to qualify through the
group stages. The school from Runcorn then beat Wright Robinson
School from Manchester 2 -1 in the Quarters Finals, before going on
to beat Witten Park High School from Blackburn 3 – 1 in the first
semi final of the day.
Runners up North Manchester School won 7 games and drew 2 to qualify
through the group stages, before going on to beat Campion Catholic
High School from Liverpool 2 – 1 in the Quarter Finals, and St
Joseph’s School from Bolton 3 – 1 in the other Semi Final. In an
exciting Final, Grange School beat North Manchester School 3 - 0 to
win the Liverpool round of the PlayStation Schools Cup, with both
teams qualifying for the UK Final.
Over 200 schools throughout the UK will be competing in the regional
Under-15 tournaments, taking place in Liverpool, Edinburgh,
Coventry, London, Newcastle and Southampton, throughout March. The 2
leading teams from each regional round will automatically qualify
for the UK Final.
The event was supported by Liverpool FC midfielder, Xabi Alonso, who
said:- “The PlayStation Schools’ Cup is fantastic for the
kids. It’s very competitive, and there are some players here with
great ability, but all the games are played in the right spirit –
the way football should be played. There was nothing like this in my
day, it’s fantastic, brilliant, I would have loved it. The
opportunity to go on and play against other European school teams is
amazing!”
The winner of the UK Final will represent Great Britain in the
European PlayStation Schools’ Cup, staged at the awe inspiring
sporting facilities within Disney Land Paris, featuring teams from
the UK, Germany, France, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and
Spain. The event will be staged on the same day as the 2006 UEFA
Champions League Final (17 May 2006), also taking place in Paris at
the Stade de France. Adding a further incentive, all the school
teams that qualify for the European tournament will be taken to the
2006 UEFA Champions League Final, as guests of PlayStation.
Rob Higgins, PE Teacher of Grange School said:- “Today’s been
absolutely fantastic and the lads have loved every minute of it. The
organisation has been superb and the competition provides a great
experience for the kids to come and compete against other schools in
the area. All the players in our squad have been involved at some
point during the day, with each and everyone playing a part. I’m
really proud of them and I’ve got my passport ready for the European
Finals!”
PE Teacher of North Manchester, said:- “It’s been a fantastic
day, well organised, and the lads have really enjoyed themselves.
There’ve been some good sides here today, so we’re delighted to have
got through to the National Finals. The football has been out of
this world. The boys performed really well all day and if we play a
similar passing game in the National Finals, we’ve got every chance
of making it through to the European Finals”.
