St Godric's collect another Trophy
January 26th, 2012
On Thursday 26th January, 16 primary school teams descended upon Soccarena in Belmont to contest the annual Indoor 5 a side football trophy. The schools were put into 4 groups and every team played each other twice on their pitch. The event ran very smoothly due to the great help by the Soccarena Academy students who refereed, kept the scores and made sure the matches were timed correctly.
GROUP A
- Neville’s Cross 12
- Esh CE 11 +14
- Framwellgate M 11 +4
- Bearpark 0
GROUP B
- St Godric’s 15
- Bowburn 12
- Pittington 6
- Browney 0
GROUP C
- Blue Coat 11
- Gilesgate 10 +9
- Finchale 10 +4
- Brandon 0
GROUP D
- Cheveley Park 15
- Choristers 15
- Silver Tree 3
- West Rainton 3

After the group stages the top two teams in each league progressed through to the Quarter Finals. These matches were all very close affairs won by the odd goal and two matches had to be decided by penalties. And so to the Semi Finals. St Godric's defeated Nevilles Cross and Bowburn saw off Blue Coat. The final between St Godric's and Bowburn was the teams' 3rd match against each other in the afternoon and St Godric's eventually triumphed to lift the trophy. Both teams are pictured below along with the Academy students. A BIG thank you to the staff at Soccarena for all their assistance during the day.
St Godric's will now go through to represent Durham City in the County Semi Finals later this term.
