A TEAM of boys from six schools across Lewisham and Greenwich made it to the final of an international football tournament.
A boys' team of under 14-year-olds from Lewisham and Greenwich schools reached the final of the Gothia World Youth Cup held in Gothenburg, Sweden, on July 19.
The team, nicknamed The Knights, fought off 250 teams from around the world to get to the final but lost 3-0 to the Dallas Texans from the USA.
The team's coach Rob Bromley, who teaches PE at Haberdashers' Aske's Knights Academy school, in Launcelot Road, Grove Park, said: "The success these boys achieved needs celebrating.
"Their behaviour, sportsmanship and talent was exceptional at all times and they did the whole country proud. I'm really pleased with their performance."
Teams from 125 countries took part in the tournament which has been held in Gothenburg every year since 1974 .
