WestKing football team crowned winners of CCCG football tournament

Football players from WestKing celebrate victory after winning a cross-college football tournament.

The College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London’s (CONEL) hosted a Capital City College Group (CCCG) cross-college foot tournament at its Enfield Centre on 22 March. 

In addition to celebrating CCCG’s football teams, the event also highlighted the importance of awareness and inclusion. To mark the start of the event, Student Engagement Officer Natascia Bernardi gave an engaging and informative presentation regarding LGBTQ+ footballers.

Around 70 students from City and Islington College (CANDI), Westminster Kingsway College (WestKing) and The College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London (CONEL) stepped up to compete against each other as well as a staff team for the title of CCCG football champions. They were cheered on by a crowd of enthusiastic spectators from across the college group.

After a series of exciting matches which saw players showcase fast footwork, outstanding performance and some glorious goals, the teams from CONEL and WestKing faced each other in a tense final. There were excellent goals from both teams but with a lead of 2-1 at the final whistle, WestKing prevailed and were crowned CCCG football champions.

CONEL’s Sports Development Manager, Robert Murphy, said: “It was a great day which saw students from all of our sites take part in an inter-college tournament.”
