Carlton le Willows Year 9 football side look to be ending their season on a high after lifting the Forest Vase trophy and securing a place in the final of the County Cup.
The team, which has been flying high all season, beat West Bridgford School 4-2 on secure the trophy during Schools football night at the City Ground earlier this month (May 5).
Even before winning, the Carlton academy had made history by having two sides in the finals for the first time in the Forest tournament’s 34-year history.
The Year 10 boys went out on the same night after playing Rushcliffe School. They were runners-up after being beaten by a side which included a large crop of Nottingham Forest Academy players and also an England international.
As reigning County champions, the year 10 team can still hold their heads up high after winning the South Notts Cup, beating Becket School 3-2, just days before the Forest finals.
The Year 9 boys, who were runners-up in their age group of the South Notts Cup, are still in the running to lift the County Cup after winning a place in the forthcoming final – their third major tournament final this season.
