The Charter School 5 St Aloysius School 4 (Inner London Cup Final)

On Thursday evening (26th April) the boy’s football team travelled over the water to Walthamstow to play the final of the Inner London Cup against St Aloysius School.
The final was a very hard-fought game, played with real enthusiasm by both teams. St Aloysius, to their credit, gave The Charter team their hardest game of the season, fighting, battling and contesting every ball.
The Charter School really rose to this challenge, playing some fantastic football, passing and moving the ball around the pitch to create chance after chance.
Unfortunately for The Charter team and in true final tradition the stronger team could not find a way past the St Aloysius goalkeeper to finish the game off. With the game reaching the final stages, St Aloysius broke away and scored an equaliser making the game 4:4.
Time running out a hero was called for. Ben Williamson and Charles Ademeno broke free and created an opening. With great skill and control captain T J Rose curled a delightful shot into the top corner of the goal to seal the victory and make The Charter School Champions of London.

Scorers: Charles Ademeno 3, Ben Williamson, T J Rose
Men of the match: Harry Till & Ben Williamson
