Monkton Wood students crowned football champions

Year 8 students from Monkton Wood Academy have been crowned District Football Champions after a thrilling and fiercely competitive final against Bishop Fox’s School at the prestigious Taunton Town football stadium.

In a nerve-trembling game of end-to-end football, watched by a huge and passionate crowd glued to an intensive game of football, Luca Ciocan became the hero of the hour by scoring a dramatic last-gasp equaliser just before the final whistle.

With the scores level at full time, the match went to penalties. Goalkeeper Reggie Felton delivered a stunning performance, making two spectacular saves to swing the momentum in Monkton Wood’s favour.

The team held their nerve and went on to win the shootout 4-3.

Mel Pattemore, Head of Physical Education at Monkton Wood Academy, said: “I couldn’t be prouder of the team.

“Their resilience, teamwork, and determination were outstanding from start to finish.

“It was a brilliant display of character and talent, and they fully deserve this victory.”
