The sun was shining in Hemel Hempstead today for our fourth annual Year 7/8 Secondary Schools tournament.
27 games were played on 3 pitches by 192 participants from 12 school teams across our county. We would like to thank our hosts John F Kennedy (JFK), all players, teachers/mentors and parents for their support. Many thanks also to our fantastic county board officers and club volunteers who made today a massive success.
Joan of Arc raised the cup trophy for the first time since 2014. Sandringham were crowned shield winners at their first event and Beaumont won the plate trophy in a tense final that went to extra time.
Well done to all our schools! Full list of results below.
