St Paul’s wins the final of the Independent Schools Cup.
St Paul’s played Wellington College in an excellent 2nd XI final at Larges Lane, home of Bracknell Town Football Club. Wellington started strongly and took the lead in the first five minutes, via a header following a free kick. St Paul’s then dominated the majority of the half, showing lots of quality in possession with Wicken scoring two goals from James and De La Riva Brown crosses to take a 2-1 lead at half-time. A more physical and competitive second half followed, with St Paul’s creating more threats and opportunities, and they took a 3-1 lead midway through the half through a Little header. Wellington fought hard in the last ten minutes of the game, creating a few decent opportunities, but were unable to stop St Paul’s earning the victory. This capped off an excellent cup run including three wins away to two term football schools.
