CHIGWELL SCHOOL have remarkably retained the National IAPS Soccer Sixes Tournament for the third year running.

The team, who travelled to Shrewsbury, convincingly beat St. Bede's School from Eastbourne 5-1 in the final, after earlier coming through a tough qualifying group with straight victories before defeating Dolphin School from Berkshire 3-0 in the semi-final.

Again success boiled down to a real team effort, which saw the bulk of the goals coming from Jonathan Kurrant and Alex Smith.

However Adam Tomkins and Joe Dipple hardly put a foot wrong in defence and Alex Edwards pulled off some vital saves in goal, whilst Harry Chima, Dean Majeed and Mark Hutcinson all made vital contributions.
