BRGS ARE UNDER 19s COUNTY CHAMPIONS
BRGS won the Under
19 Lancashire Cup last week.
In the final, played at Turf
Moor, they beat Ripley
St.Thomas 1-0.
The team reached the 5th round of the English Schools National Cup earlier
in the year and defeated St.Theodores, Habergham
and Lytham St.Annes to reach the county final.
BRGS went ahead after 22 minutes through Mark
Ratcliffe and controlled the game
for long periods. Some well organised defending meant Ripley never
really threatened to draw level.

BRGS
ARE UNDER 15s ROSSENDALE CUP CHAMPIONS 04/05 !!!
Final Score: BRGS 4, All Saints 1.
Match Report written by Gareth Hughes:
At 4.15pm on Wednesday 4th May 2005, All Saints playing fields saw the clash
of arguably Rossendale's two strongest Under 15's school football teams.
All Saints School played host to the Year 10 BRGS football team, with both teams
playing for the chance to win the Rossendale's Schools Under 15's Trophy. A tight
match was expected, as previous encounters between the two teams were usually
decided by a single goal. A tight match was what we received.
BRGS set out to pummel the All Saints goal, and they sure did that. Chance, after
chance after chance. Elliot Connolly with a rasping effort, Joey
Marcroft stinging
the Keeper's fingers on a number of occasions, but all to no avail. The first
goal when it came was unfortunately at the wrong end. A combination of poor marking
from a set piece and a darting run from the All Saints full back, contributed
to BRGS falling behind at the break to a well taken header. The character the
team showed after half time was inspiring.
Pass after pass reached its target in the BRGS mid-field, and tackle after tackle
in defence ensured that All Saints were definitely not going to get another.
Then it happened. In the blink of an eye Olly Purslow rifled a shot into the
roof of the net and Bacup were level. Continued pressure did not get its just
rewards and at full time the teams were level.
Extra time was required to decide the game.BRGS picked-up where they left
Qg with the defence winning every ball and the attackers creating
glorious chances it was only a matter of time before there
was a breakthrough. It came yet again through the boot of that man ... Olly Purslow.
But BRGS was not content, and the other Olly, Olly Coldman, decided that Mr Purslow
was not going to run away with the show. After picking the ball up outside the
area he showed great strength to shrug off his marker and coolly stick the ball
into the far corner . .. .. 3-1.
Now to the other end. After having so little to do, Joe Sipocz reacted
superbly when he tipped a point blank strike around the post. The All Saints
striker could
not believe that his shot had been saved, and frankly neither could the remaining
players. Then an almost exact replica of his earlier goal meant that Olly Coldman
had an impressive two next to his name. Credit must be given to Zayne
Hussain however, when he calmly placed the ball into the next field
after coming on a substitute. I am sure he will agree that it was not a miss
kick, but rather a
calculated time wasting technique.
The final whistle blew and the loyal BRGS fans erupted into a frenzy of screaming.
The Year 10 lads had become Rossendale Champions for a second year. Olly
Purslow
deservedly won the Man of the Match award. The match was won with commitment,
desire and shear class throughout the team.
Well done to everyone who has been involved with the squad throughout the year. |

Under
19 COUNTY CHAMPIONS 2003/04!
The U19 football team won the County Cup by achieving
a hard-fought victory over Lytham St. Annes.
Earlier in the year they beat
Clitheroe RGS in the quarter finals 4-2, and then St Theodore's
in the semi-final 3-1.
 The
final saw BRGS going ahead in the second minute when we were
awarded a penalty for pushing: Matthew Hayhurst calmly
sent the goalkeeper the wrong way.
What followed was some outstanding defending as BRGS sat back
and defended their lead. Lytham had much more of the possession,
yet Sam Charlesworth was rarely troubled in goal. The last
ten minutes and injury time were very tense with some scrambled
defence; the 5 minute injury time seemed to last a week.
BRGS hung on, however, and won 1-0 to be crowned Lancashire
Champions.
The squad comprised: Sam Charlesworth, Stuart Glendinning,
Martin Davies, Mark Hawthorn, Danny Davies, John Dillon, Jonathan
Booth, Ryan Dodd,
Liam Westwood, Adam Taylor, Matthew Hayhurst, Luke Thorley,
Charlie Holt, Paul Sutcliffe, Robert Rigby, Adam Camps, Sam
Thornton.
