Four of Bridgwater Colleges 1st year Elite Football scholars have recently starred for the Somerset Schools and Colleges FA team against Millfield School.

Forward Kofi Martin, midfielder Harry Hamblin and defenders Keelan Gunningham and Reece Malcolm were selected as part of the county team that took on Millfield School's 1st XI in an under 17 fixture.

The four players also feature in the all conquering Team BC Elite Football team that are the England Colleges FA South West North Division League Champions this season and they also play in the South West Counties Youth League for the Team BC and Bridgwater Town FC partnership team.

Jamie Laird, Team BC Elite Men's Football Head Coach said,

“We are very proud of these players and each of them have continued to develop key aspects of their game this season, which is culminating in them receiving County call ups. Our Team BC football provision attracts and selects the very best players from across the county and further afield, with both Kofi and Reece coming from Taunton and Yeovil respectively, which means students are willing to travel to receive top class coaching and teaching.

“We have had over 40 male and female football scholars represent the county football squads over the last 5 years which is fantastic and inspires us all to provide the highest quality education and sporting environment for our Team BC scholars to strive and reach their sporting goals.”

All four of the players study the Extended Diploma in Sport and Exercise Science. If you want to pursue your sporting dreams and study a course of your choice at Bridgwater College then please contact our Admissions Team on 01278 455464 and start your journey to academic and sporting success!
