This year’s tournament was truly one of the most exciting, competitive and closely fought competitions we have ever seen. Every school gave it their all, showing incredible determination, teamwork, passion and sportsmanship from start to finish.
A huge congratulations to Ysgol Pentre, who were crowned the Ken Bathers Memorial Trophy Winners.
A massive well done also to Ysgol Cefn Mawr, who finished as runners-up after a tremendous performance in what can only be described as the closest tournament we have ever witnessed.
We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to all the schools that took part this year. Your effort, attitude and enthusiasm made the day such a brilliant success, and you should all be very proud of yourselves.
A very special thank you also goes to our partners and everyone who helped make the day possible, especially Councillors Derek Wright and Gaynor Wright for representing the Council, our wonderful Clerk Trina Nicholls-Smith, our Community Agent Donna Thornley, our Community Development Officer Andrew Ruscoe, who refereed an incredible 16 matches, and Liam Jones from Active Wrexham.
Cefn East Councillor and Vice Chairman Derek Wright said:
“I have been involved in this competition for many years, and I can honestly say this was the closest tournament we have ever witnessed. The standard from every school was outstanding, and the determination, commitment and sportsmanship on show today made me incredibly proud. These young people gave everything for their schools, and every single one of them should hold their heads high. It was a brilliant advert for school football and for our community.”
Days like this show exactly what can be achieved when schools, partners and the community come together to support our young people.
Well done to everyone involved — you were all absolutely brilliant.
