County Champions (3rd time for these boys) and 4th win of the week. They also, remarkably, go unbeaten for the season. The first u16 side ever (we think!). Either way they’ve been exceptional all year. 👏👏

The U14s played tonight against a fabulous Robert Clack side. Two equal teams produced the proverbial game of 2 halves; both sides missing golden opportunities to seal victory. The game ended with Campion 7-5 victors, and County champions 🔴⚫️
The hall is set for our mass to start the school year. We welcome our new students and staff. We are grateful for the support of Fr Matthew and Fr Dominic as they celebrate mass with us today.
