Rotherham Schools FA Plate Finals are a winner

The third Rotherham Schools FA Plate Finals day at St Bernard’s Catholic School saw teams compete in five football finals from Y7-Y11 and, for the second year running, the event combined with the town’s Netball Plate deciders.

Event organisers, St Bernard’s head of PE Steve Tattershall and PE teacher Georgia Sneath said: “It was good to see our fields and netball courts so busy and to see so many students from across Rotherham competing and conducting themselves brilliantly throughout the day.”

The event is the prelude to the RSFA Cup and and Netball Cup Finals day at Wickersley School tomorrow.
