I do believe that one of the teams is from Manchester and are unbeaten. The MEN also reported that your lot had already had contact with the school concerned.

Excellent news that, tell you what if they've only been playing for 10 months there are some seriously talented kids at that school.

While I noticed some talented males I think it fair to mention the females who assembled in the stadium at half-time especially the girls who went onto the field for a dance routine while the wind swirled and the rain poured.
Fantastic example of disciplined teamwork and a joie de vivre I certainly didn't expect.
I hope they are allowed the opportunity to return should the weather forecast be suitable.
(Well done to those who ushered them around the stadium etc.they all seemed in great spirits)

I visited St Peter's in Longsight (the team in black, and the girls teams walking round) on work business a few months back and it was pleasing to see that on their big video wall in reception one of the images that was on rotation was a photo of their girls team with the Carnegie Schools trophy at the Stoop, and there was also a signed Salford shirt in a frame just past the main entrance.

Their girl’s team who won the Carnegie Schools trophy formed part of the cheerleading troupe on Friday night, they are coached by Ceris Dixon in Rugby and cheerleading (the daughter of Jim Dixon- Deputy Headmaster, sister of Andrew) she is a P.E. teacher at St Peters.
St Peters part funds a Rugby Development officer along with Salford, his role is to promote Rugby League in the Junior/Senior Schools in Manchester. The staff at Salford work closely with St Peters and have a very good working relationship. Hopefully this will lead to Salford have a wider talent pool to select from in the future.

I know that the staff and kids were very appreciative of the warm response they received from the Salford fans.

My wife used to teach at St.Peter's, she was really pleased when I told her of their RL success and their appearance at Salford on Friday night. They certainly look a talented bunch but I wonder if any of them play for any amateur clubs, I don't know of any clubs in or near the Gorton/Levenshulme area. That's always going to be a problem I think as once they've left school they might have to travel a fair way just to find a RL team to play for and that's when RU steps in and fills the gap and we lose them to our game.

I'm particularly pleased as I used to work in an office that overlooks the astroturf hockey pitch that the school uses for sport, and when I was there we'd see the kids being coached in forming rucks and mauls on a regular basis (and looking bored). Nice to see they've moved across to the skilful form of rugby.

reading some of the other posts on here I think humble pie is on the menu.

Well done, and congrats to all concerned.

Photographs and 2 match reports in this weeks RLE on how St Peters won the Carnegie Champion Schools
Finals for 2012.
The Year 7 Girls won 32-10 against a 'committed' Castleford Academy side and the Year 8 Girls won their Final 40-22.

Well done one and all !

I took the trouble to e mail the school after this game to congratulate them on the game. They were very proud of their students.
