College football team seals league and cup success

BRADFIELD College are basking in the glory of a historic football season as they clinched their second title this year by winning the Hudl Independent Schools League.

This marks another milestone in the college’s sporting legacy.

The team’s outstanding performances continued after their Boodles ISFA Cup victory three weeks ago, cementing Bradfield’s position as a powerhouse in school football and achieving a feat last matched in 2022.

The journey to victory was secured with a dominant display in the league, where they went head-to-head against nine of the nation’s top footballing schools.

Bradfield’s stellar run, comprising six wins and two draws, propelled them to the league title for the second time in three years.

A triumphant final day at Loughborough University saw Bradfield seal the title with a 5-0 victory over fifth-placed Royal Russell.

In the Boodles ISFA Cup, Bradfield conceded just once on their path to the final.

Notable victories over formidable opponents, including Manchester Grammar School, Ardingly, Shrewsbury and Millfield led them to the final.

This set the stage for a thrilling showdown against Cheadle Hulme School.

In a gripping match, Bradfield emerged triumphant with a 3-2 win.

This triumph marks Bradfield’s third Boodles ISFA Cup victory in six years.

Congratulations to David Chatwin, who assumed the role of director of football performance at Bradfield following his tenure at Charlton Athletic FC in September.

Chatwin’s coaching expertise played a pivotal role in guiding the team to success.

Last week Bradfield were losing semi-finalists in The English Schools FA competition to Barking Academy, a notable achievement considering the competition is open to all schools in the UK.

Bradfield progressed further than any other independent school.

Bradfield College remains committed to nurturing a culture of sporting excellence and extends congratulations to the team, coaching staff and all those involved this season.
