This year records tumbled as our year 8 football team reached dizzy heights in the Kent Cup. The boys enjoyed a successful competition which saw them reach the semi-finals, making them one of the 4 best football teams for their age group in Kent! Their run even included knocking out last years runners up, Sir Roger Manwoods (a grammar school in Sandwich) with a comfortable 8-4 victory away from home in one of the best performances we’ve seen from a school football team. Up until the semi-final the boys were in prolific goal scoring form, netting 28 goals in 4 games against King Ethelberts, Charles Dickens, Brockhill and Roger Manwoods and only conceding 8 (4 of which were in the quarter final). This was down to the whole team effort during each game, that saw players peak and dip at different times. However, there was always a player who stepped up whenever someone was having an off day to ensure the team got the result they needed. Across all positions in the team there were notable performances and exceptional moments that in some cases either kept them in or won them the game. The most notable being in the semi-final when the boys went 1-0 and Manwoods were in charge until Joe Mears, who was back from serving a ban for poor behaviour in school, scored two top quality goals from right wing to turn the game around and ensure that we then were in charge and in a comfortable position for the rest of the match. Unfortunately, this form could not continue as they came up against a considerably bigger and stronger Bonus Pastor school from Bromley who never let our boys settle in the game and came out deserving winners on the day. This was however, a new HBHS record and we look forward to seeing how far the boys can go next year. An amazing effort and the whole team should be extremely proud of how far they reached and how well they played as a team to get there. The team was: Leo Dodds, Jake McCarthy, Joe Mears, Devon Mason,, Lee Mannering, Toby Wilson, James Williams, Jake Addy, Alfie Whent, Brandon Munday, Riley Soto-Tuite, Charlie Holmes, Ethan Cusden, Zeus McCully, George Crook and James Reynolds.
