โšฝ๐ŸŒ International Champions โ€“ Autumn & Jess Rees! ๐ŸŒโšฝ

We are incredibly proud to celebrate the amazing achievement of Autumn and Jess Rees, two of our talented students who represented their grassroots football team, Baschurch U13s, in an international tournament in Holland over the half-term break!

Competing against 14 teams, Autumn and Jess played a key role in leading their squad to a phenomenal first-place finish, becoming champions of their age group!

They went undefeated, winning every match but one (which they drew), and showed incredible defensive strength, conceding just one goal throughout the entire tournament, and that was in the final!

A massive congratulations to Autumn, Jess, and their team on this outstanding achievement and unforgettable experience. Weโ€™re so proud to see Marches students thriving on the international stage!
