St Joseph's football team sensationally progressed to the prestigious Bishop's Cup Final on Monday night.
After coming through two previous rounds, the standard was extremely high as we took on St Bernadette's, last year's runners up St Alban's and a very strong English Martyrs' team on their home ground.
A tense first game finished deadlocked at 0-0 against St Alban's with St Joseph's peppering the opposition goal to no avail.
English Martyrs' won their game before we locked horns with St Bernadette's. A solid team display ended with defences on top and another 0-0 stalemate.
It was clear that the teams were all very evenly matched and of a high standard.
Our final game saw us needing a win to progress against English Martyrs'. A brilliant all round performance saw us come out 2-0 winners to top the group and make the final.
The team did not concede a single goal in three matches which is a sensational effort.
St Joseph's have never made a final before and the team continue to do themselves and their school proud.
