St Ambrose Barlow Win Year 8 Sefton League

Pupils from St Ambrose Barlow Catholic High School in Netherton were celebrating after winning the Year 8 Sefton Football League for the second consecutive year. In a close league it went down to the last week and the top position changed hands on numerous occasions but St Ambrose Barlow held on to finish outright winners.
The Year 8 team also made it into the Sefton cup final but narrowly missed out on lifting the trophy after being beaten on penalties by local rivals Maricourt High School.
Team manager Michael Metcalf said “The boys have played some really nice football over the year and conducted themselves really well. They have been a credit to our school. The lads deserve their success and I hope they continue to develop as a team and as individuals next season.
