Massive congratulations to our Year 7 boys’ football team (again!) who have brought the bragging rights back to Co-op Academy Swinton with a 6-0 victory against Co-op Academy Walkden’s first team!

Our whole team played amazingly with a hat-trick from Sylvester Kisula, two goals to Jake Mundy and one goal to Liam Hodges. All the boys were so pleased and proud to have won this derby with everyone, including Mr West, singing ‘Swinton are the greatest’ for the entire journey home!

The match against Walkden was part of the Salford Football Cup Tournament and our win means we are now progressing onto the champions part of the cup. Keep en eye on our website and social media to follow their success in the coming months!

Our talented team are: Callum Farnie, Sylvester Kisula, Liam Hodges, Oscar Smith, Amir Ahmadipour, John Preston, Callum Norris, Mason Sharp, Liam Donoghue, Leo Delaney, Noah Lees, Marcus Moyo and Matin Etehadpoor.

Adele Howarth, Manchester United Foundation Officer couldn’t hide her pride when she found out;

I’m so proud! The boys did us proud again! They are going to be amazing. Well done Mr Leyland and Mr West! “Swinton are magic everywhere we go…”

Assitant Headteacher Mr Stanley said;

This is fantastic! Well done to the team and also to our Manager, Mr Leyland and his Assistant Mr West!
