U18 Schools’ Cup for Girls – Joint National Champions Crowned

The English Schools' FA

Thomas Telford School and Barking Abbey School crowned National Champions in the 2019/20 U18 Schools’ Cup for Girls competition.

The English Schools’ FA has declared Thomas Telford School (Telford & Wrekin) and Barking Abbey School (Barking & Dagenham) joint champions of the U18 Schools’ Cup for Girls for Season 2019-2020.

The decision has been taken after Covid-19 prematurely ended the season and it was established that it would not be feasible for these teams to participate in this year’s National Final match.

Darren Alcock, ESFA National Competitions Manager said “Players and staff at Thomas Telford School and Barking Abbey have worked incredibly hard to reach this English Schools’ FA Cup Final.   We are very pleased to have reached a resolution for this final which recognises the effort, skill and determination of those involved with both teams.   To be crowned a National Champion is an extremely prestigious honour, so we hope that the players, staff and school communities will enjoy this accolade and we wish the players well in their future football endeavours.”

New ESFA Campaign – Stay Home, Stay Safe, Stay Active

The English Schools' FA

The ESFA’s latest campaign encourages Schools’ Footballers to stay active, ready for the football season ahead

Whilst the end of the 2019/20 Schools’ Football season and National Finals are on hold, the ESFA want to encourage Schools’ Football squads and individual players to continue to ‘stay active’ whilst staying home.

The ESFA want players to stay active and match-ready ahead of the 2020/21 season and will be working with sponsors and partners to provide teachers and pupils alike with ideas on how to both achieve and maintain this.

Launching with a brand new video of the England U15 Schoolgirls’ skills chain, the ESFA hope to see more schools’ football content being created that is similar to this and the Association will be sharing some fantastic ideas on how teams can get involved!

The Association understands this is a difficult time for everybody, but hope that the new campaign and content to follow will give some new and exciting ideas and opportunities to help Schools’ Footballers Stay Home, Stay Safe and Stay Active.
