St. Thomas More School reach the area 5 semi-final of the Under-13 ESFA/Coca Cola Cup
St. Thomas More School staged an amazing comeback to beat Thomas Telford School in the quarter final of the English Schools' F.A. Area 5 stage of the under-13 Coca Cola Cup competition. At 2-0 down and half-time looming things looked bleak before Ricky Nicholls pulled one back in the last minute of the half. Midway through the second half Simon Pope hit a fine goal to level the scores and with ten minutes to go, the turnaround was complete. Nathan Walker converted a deep cross from Ashley Lawrence to seal victory and clinch a home semi-final on Saturday January 25th against Ayleston School from Hereford. Keeper Zak Latham produced an outstanding performance to keep St. Thomas More in the game when the visitors were on top.
The previous round saw another thriller against Ashlawn School from Rugby. Coach Jonathan Prior said " The boys have been training hard this season and it showed in the match. We were helped along the way by the magnificent efforts of the in-form striker Kieron Moran and by half-time we were on our way to a comfortable 4-0 lead. However Ashlawn struck just before the half-time whistle to make it 4-1. After the half-time team talk the boys went back out for the second half that was equally as mouth watering a prospect as the first. Ashlawn's hopes were raised when they scored their second through an own goal. Sensing victory the St. Thomas More boys secured their place in the last eight through a second Ashley Lawrence goal".

  Wagon Wheels U-12 5-a-side Boys Final

Ten schools took part in the Walsall SFA Boys Final of the Wagon Wheels 5-a-side competition held at Brownhills School on Friday 29th November 2002.

Schools were placed in two groups of five and the group winners St. Francis of Assisi and Arthur Terry played in the final. Barr Beacon could have finished top of group B instead of Arthur Terry but a 0-0 draw with Sneyd denied them the win they needed in the last game. A goal from Jake Plant was enough to win the final for Arthur Terry.

Arthur Terry School will now represent Walsall SFA in the Midlands final in the New Year.
