Girls football team earns college a hattrick of silverware

The Girls Football Team at Solihull Sixth Form College have won the league title this season, making them the third sports team from the College this year to claim silverware.

Playing in the ECFA West Midlands Women's Regional League, the girls won seven of their matches this season, including an impressive 16-0 over South and City College in March.

Their closest rivals for the title were Hereford Sixth Form College, who the girls defeated 5-4 just before Easter. They followed that up with a 4-4 away to King Edward VI College Nuneaton last week to bring a highly successful and enjoyable season to a close.

Sport and Health curriculum leader Lee Jones commented: "Congratulations to the Girls Football Team on a well-deserved success. They become the third sports team from the College this year to win their league, following success for in Men's Football and Netball. I'm proud of the determination and teamwork all our teams have demonstrated this season and delighted that it has been rewarded."
