Samuel Whitbread lift Beds Schools County Cup
An imperious footballing performance saw Samuel Whitbread Academy lift the Bedfordshire Schools U14 boys County Cup earlier this month, adding to the District crown already secured two weeks previously.
Facing a strong Lea Manor side at Redborne Upper School, striker Harry Bean opened the scoring midway through the first half with a neat finish.
The second period brought more outstanding pass-and-move play and Whitbread capitalised with a well-worked goal finished by Billy Cook.

Two weeks earlier the Schools’ District Final was won after a tough 2-0 victory over St Thomas More at Kempston Rovers FC thanks to Cassius Straughn header and Liam Phillips’ strike.
