Cardinal Newman School

[Southover Street Seagull]

82-89 for me. I feel like I should know you... and I do.

Did I make an abortive trip to Halifax Town with you a few years ago?

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Played a football match v one of their teams last year. Utter wankers, acted like nobs the whole game with sneaky kick outs at players and abuse to the referee. 4 of them got booked which is very unusual for a school match now days, completely unnecessary as they dicked us 7-1 anyway. When we got back to the bus they had spat all over the windows and door handles and slashed the tires literally for no reason whatsoever. Did not expect that from a Catholic school.

Tyres on bus slashed? Sure you aren't telling tall tales there?

Hmmmm i must admit the bit i find hardest to believe is we beat you 7-1 we were gash at sport

I was at Oathall who are more of a rugby school really. We were quite good at football in year 8 and got to the county cup semi-final but then the majority of our decent players left and our team had an average height of about 5 ft 4 in year 11 and we were truly shocking. Having a guy with not a clue about football running the team didn't help either. Was very surprised at the attitude of the CN players and students watching as the other Catholic school we played, St Pauls were a bunch of softies mainly.

No reason to make it up.

I would suspect the main focus there should be on the difference between Mid-Sussex and Brighton, and absolutely nothing to do with Catholic schools.

Well no, I suppose not. But it sounds incredibly unbelievable to me. And people do exaggerate things.

Yeah would guess so. Most of our team shat themselves inside the first the 5 minutes of the match against the 6ft plus hard Brighton lads, definitely a lot different to the well mannered good boys we were used to playing

85 to 92. It was a great school. Feely was like Darth Vador you didnt want to mess with him !!

 

[Cloughie]

That tracksuit used to change from year to year, depending on what was on offer at JJB. Bet he still owns a pair of skin-tight White shorts though.

I wonder if Miss 'spitfire' Jones is still there...?

Yes. Oh how we laughed when we got within 10 miles of the ground and they called it off!

 

[HovaGirl]

One of my bros went to Cardinal Newman. T'other, one year older, went to the same place when it was De La Salle College. Bet half of you used to be their friends! (Their seats: WS)
