CGS Win Inaugural Rich Pontin Memorial Cup
The CGS 1st XI football team became the first winners of the Rich Pontin Memorial Cup after a thrilling 3-2 victory over Dr Challoner's Grammar School.
The fixture was established in memory of former Director of Sport, Rich Pontin, who sadly passed away last month following a long battle with brain cancer. Before kick-off, players, staff and Headteachers from both schools gathered as John Deadman, Director of Sport at Dr Challoner's, spoke movingly about Rich's contribution to sport and PE at both schools. A minute's silence was then impeccably observed.
The match proved a fitting tribute, embodying the passion, commitment and teamwork that Rich valued so highly. Luke and Henry scored in the first half before Lucas headed home the winner from a Henry corner in an exciting second half to secure a memorable 3-2 victory.
The Rich Pontin Memorial Cup will now be contested annually between the two schools, ensuring Rich's legacy lives on for years to come. Congratulations to the boys on a fully deserved win.
