| Abstract |
After beating Eton College 5-1 in their previous encounter, Battersea Technology College's first team players have a lot to live up to in the second of what is hoped will become a regular annual fixture. But although the team is drawn from a limited pool of players, the South London comprehensive does have a possible advantage: since becoming a Football Academy in 2005, the boys have had the benefit of professional training from Errol Bignall, Community Coach at Chelsea Football Club. Will this be enough to guarantee success against the older, taller and better resourced Eton side? Follow the Battersea team as they train with Errol, Head of PE Neil Watson, and Mark Russ - Year 10 teacher and the instigator of the inspirational away fixture. We also hear from Glen Pierce, Master of Football at Eton College, who explains the significance of the fixture from his team's point of view, and from the boys and teachers after the game. But most importantly, there's the match itself! |
