LYMM High School’s year 10 football team have already created a dynasty of dominance.

However, their coach has laid down a challenge for them – “why stop now?”

The team have just secured their third Warrington Schools League title in a row, but their extraordinary feats do not stop there.

They have not been beaten by any of their neighbouring Warrington schools in just over two years – and they still have one year left of playing together.

Gareth Powell, the team’s coach, has urged his players to keep on achieving.

“I am massively proud of them. To achieve what they have done is some feat,” he told the Guardian.

“To not be beaten by any Warrington school in two years and four months is incredible.

“As I said to the players, though, why stop now? They have one year left together so the challenge is now set for them.

“It’s been pretty much the same group of lads throughout the whole run, give or take one or two.

“They have become a really close group during that time, as well.

“What we’re finding now is that we’re getting big numbers at training sessions because students want to be part of our success, which is great.”

The success of the football team continues a great history of sporting achievement for current and former students of Lymm High School.

Two of Warrington’s brightest young prospects – rower Lucy Glover and runner Harriet Knowles-Jones – are former pupils of the school.

Lymm High are also well known for their rugby union prowess, but Powell hopes his team’s remarkable run has put football on the map at the school.

“I moved to the area from Newcastle, where football is pretty much a religion,” he said.

“When I came into this school, Lymm was always just thought of as a rugby school.

“The year 10 team has shown now that they are starting to turn heads, both inside and outside of school.

“It’s not just football either. We’ve shown we can produce Olympic rowers (Richard Egington)and star runners.”

n LYMM are raising funds with the hope of installing a new 3G pitch and PE changing rooms.
