Monmouth Comprehensive School (MCS) ended the football season in style by winning no less than four cup finals in three days.

On Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd May, the Newport and District Schools Cup Finals were held at Ty-Isaf Park, Risca.

Monday saw Monmouth U13s take on St Josephs High School followed by Monmouth's U15s against Bassaleg Comprehensive.

It was a great day out for MCS as the U13s led the way with a second half comeback to win three-one.

Goals from the prolific marksmen Jack Mayo and Sam Oxley were added to late on by Henry Damon, meaning that captain Matthew Macdonald could lift the trophy.

The display was a fantastic effort in which Kieran Knight, Owen Walters and goalkeeper Jordan Heales were commended for skill and determination in addition to those mentioned above.

In fact a number of players were identified by regional selectors for next season with Jordan Heales even being invited to trial with Cardiff City's academy on the back of the performance.

So it was the turn of the U15s to follow suit and they didn't disappoint, dominating for 70 minutes against Bassaleg. For all the domination and chances created, MCS only had one goal to show for their efforts, a spectacular effort direct from a free kick by captain Mitchel Palmer.

Palmer, together with Perys Pullen and Callum Wheatley, formed a formidable midfield, while Max Goodridge led the team from the back.

Zac Williams was a constant threat to Bassaleg with his skill and physicality.

Tuesday and it was the turn of the seniors (picutred above) to make it a hat-trick for MCS. Due to the timing of the final clashing with exams, MCS were missing a number of regular players and younger players stepped in.

This resulted in an entertaining three-three draw with Newport High School and penalties ensued. After falling behind early in the match, Mitch Palmer (stepping up from Year 10) shot direct from centre and immediately equalised, lobbing the keeper from the half way line.

Luke Cleaves added a brace to cap a fine individual performance and MCS looked to be cruising to victory until a late Newport surge took the game to penalties.

Harry Wilkes and George Ryley had worked tirelessly in midfield with Dan Barnard abley supporting Luke Cleaves at the back.
