The sculpture is based on the native Brazilian dance form of Capoeira. An avid admirer of Capoeira and acrobatics, Rodrigo sculpted the image of two people balancing on each other's to convey the message that people need the support of friends and family to conquer life’s obstacles. Sixth Form Tutors Award for Contributions to the Sixth Form: The quaich, Scotland's cup of friendship, has been used through the centuries to offer a welcoming drink to family friends and visitors. "Quaich" is a Scottish rendering of the Gaelic word "cuach", meaning cup. The two-handed design of this drinking vessel represents trust, on the part of both giver and receiver. It represents the value we place on community. 4 Year 13 Subject Prizes Economics: Money has been used in different forms all over the world for over 5,000 years. It underpins our economic system and yet remains very difficult to define. Milton Friedman high priest of monetarism once famously proclaimed that “money is what money does”. The study of money, its creation and impact on the UK economy is central to the A2 Economics course. This trophy which was manufactured specifically as an award for this event is made up of some of the UKs historic coinage encased within acrylic. Behind each coin there is a story not only of our evolution as an economy but also as pluralist multiethnic society. The Stories behind the Coins Cunobelin Bronze Coin, Celtic - boar early 1st Century A.D Cunobelin, also known as Cymbeline was a legendary king of the Britons as accounted by Geoffrey of Monmouth and was king of the Catuvellauni tribe of Celts according to Roman records. He was the son of King Tenvantius and he ruled Britain in a time when Rome controlled Britain politically. William Shakespeare's tragedy, Cymbeline, is based on his life. During the last years of his father's reign, he invaded the territory of the Trinovantes and subdued them. He continued to rule over the Trinovantes from Camulodunum, near modern day Colchester, and retained his seat of government there when he succeeded to the Catuvellaunian throne upon the death of his father in circa A.D.10. He became 'the first British statesman,' and through diplomatic means, probably had his kingship over the joint Catuvellaunian/Trinovantian kingdom ratified by Rome, for some of his later coinage bears the title 'REX'. He continued to rule the combined tribes from Camulodunum for many years, and his capital became the focal point of British politics, learning and trade. Cunobelin died in circa 42 A.D. shortly before the coming of Rome. Monmouth writes in his Historia Regum Britanniae that Cymbeline was a powerful warrior raised in the courts of Emperor Augustus and his country was equipped with Roman weapons. It continues further stating that Cymbeline was very friendly with the Roman court and all tributes to Rome were paid out of respect, not out of requirement. Contrary to Monmouth's writings, other accounts state that under the leadership of Cunobelin and his son, Caratacus, the Catuvellauni became involved in many conflicts with local tribes. He was a powerful enemy of Rome and gave financial assistance to the druids of Anglesey, who at the time were a strong anti-Roman force. He also gave refuge to warriors from Romanised Gaul. Marcus Aurelius sestertius – 2nd Century Marcus Aurelius emperor and Stoic philosopher ruled Rome from AD 161 - 180) during "...the period in the history of the world, during which the condition of the human race was most happy and prosperous..." (Gibbon in the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire). Marcus Aurelius wrote Meditations which explains how the moral life leads to tranquillity. Marcus stresses the virtues of wisdom, justice, fortitude, and moderation. He recommended opium-eating for headache, dizziness, epilepsy, asthma, fever, leprosy and other ills of the flesh. Sceattas, Saxon - 8th Century The first Anglo-Saxon coins were gold thrysmas. They rapidly became debased and were eventually discontinued. During the 5th century some Byzantine and Merovingian gold coins also circulated in Britain. The first real coinage was the sceatta, a small attractive silver coin first mentioned in the laws of Aethelberht, king of Kent, circa A.D. 600. They were the only unit of currency for over a century and a half. 5 Edward I Hammered Penny - 13th Century While best known for his campaigns to subdue Wales and Scotland, Edward I's work with English common law earned him the name of the 'English Justinian'. The eldest son of King Henry III, as a young man he was defeated in Wales by Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, Prince of Gwynedd (now in North Wales). During the civil war between his father and the barons, he was held captive by Simon de Montfort, the rebel leader, before escaping to take control of the royalist forces, whereupon he defeated and killed Montfort. Edward learned of his father's death in November 1272, while returning from a crusade. Once king, he returned to complete his unfinished business in Wales. He invaded in 1277, defeated Gruffudd and built a ring of castles around Gwynedd to enforce his authority. When his rule provoked rebellion, he invaded again. After killing Gruffudd, he reorganised Wales along English lines; the principality would remain calm for over a century. In Scotland, however, Edward was less successful. Although he was paid homage and put John de Balliol on the throne in 1292, his authoritarian approach eventually provoked the Scottish nobles to force Balliol to ally with France in 1295. Edward invaded and conquered Scotland the next year, but faced revolts led by William Wallace until 1303. At home, Edward was responsible for making Parliaments an integral part of English politics. He understood their value in strengthening royal authority and used them to promote a variety of legal and administrative reforms. The Statute of Mortmain (1279) gave the crown control of any church land acquisitions and the Statute of Winchester (1285) codified and strengthened the system for preserving public order. However, the strain and cost of war brought conflict between Edward and his barons. They forced through laws forbidding arbitrary taxation, forcing Edward to abandon the campaign and eventually to make peace with France. Edward renewed the conquest of Scotland in 1303, captured Stirling in 1304, and executed Wallace as a traitor in 1305. But just when Scotland seemed sorted, Robert I ('the Bruce') rebelled again and was crowned in 1306. On his way to reconquer Scotland, Edward died near Carlisle. Charles I Half-crown Born 19 November 1600 in Dunfermline, the fourth child and second son of King James VI of Scotland the death his talented elder brother Henry in 1612 brought him into the position of heir to the throne. Charles' weakness was that he believed like his father in the 'divine right of kings', thus believing that the king was above the law and answerable only to God. Further to this the king was above parliament. He fell out with Parliament as a consequence to this and dissolved three times and finally abolished it in 1629. There was to be no other rule than his for 11 years. The King raised money by selling monopolies and by instituting a 'ship money' tax. Things came to a head when he entered the House of Commons with an armed guard and demanded the arrest of five Members of Parliament who had opposed him (they managed to escape). It was the final straw, Charles left London and the first Civil War began. George 111 George III was born on 4 June 1738 in London. He became heir to the throne on the death of his father in 1751, succeeding his grandfather, George II, in 1760. George III is widely remembered for two things: losing the American colonies and going mad. This is far from the whole truth. One of the most cultured of monarchs, George started a new royal collection of books (65,000 of his books were later given to the British Museum, as the nucleus of a national library) and opened his library to scholars. In 1768, George founded and paid the initial costs of the Royal Academy of Arts (now famous for its exhibitions). He was the first king to study science as part of his education (he had his own astronomical observatory), and examples of his collection of scientific instruments can now be seen in the Science Museum. George III also took a keen interest in agriculture, particularly on the crown estates at Richmond and Windsor, being known as 'Farmer George'. In his last years, physical as well as mental powers deserted him and he became blind. 6 Year 13 Subject Prizes Mathematics: Klein Bottle In 1882, Felix Klein imagined sewing two Möbius Loops together to create a single sided bottle with no boundary. Its inside is its outside. It contains itself. Take a rectangle and join one pair of opposite sides -- you'll now have a cylinder. Now join the other pair of sides with a half-twist. That last step isn't possible in our universe, sad to say. A true Klein Bottle requires 4-dimensions because the surface has to pass through itself without a hole. It's closed and non-orientable, so a symbol on its surface can be slid around on it and reappear backwards at the same place. You can't do this trick on a sphere, doughnut, or pet ferret -- they're orientable. A Klein Bottle is locally 2-dimensional ... every small patch follows the laws of 2-dimensional Euclidean geometry. In this sense, a Klein Bottle is a 2-dimensional manifold, and its inside is the same as it‟s outside. But although it's a 2-D manifold, it can only exist in 4-dimensions! Alas, our universe has only 3 spatial dimensions, so impossible to make a true Klein Bottle. A photograph of a stapler is a 2-dimensional immersion of a 3-dimensional stapler. In the same way, our glass Klein Bottles are 3-D immersions of the 4-D Klein Bottle. Our Klein Bottle is a 3dimensional photograph of a "true" Klein Bottle. A Klein Bottle cannot be embedded in 3 dimensions, but you can immerse it in 3-D. (An immersion may have self-intersections; Embeddings have no self-intersections. Neither an embedding nor an immersion has folds or cusps.) We represent a Klein Bottle in glass by stretching the neck of a bottle through its side and joining its end to a hole in the base. Except at the side-connection (the nexus), this properly shows the shape of a 4-D Klein Bottle. And except at the nexus, any small patch follows the laws of 2-dimensional Euclidean geometry. Contrast this with a corked bottle -- say, a wine bottle. It has two sides: inside and outside. You can't get from one to the other without drilling a hole or popping the top. Once uncorked, it has a lip which separates the inside from the outside. If you make the glass arbitrarily thin, that lip won't go away. It'll become more prominent. The lip divides one side of the bottle from the other. So an uncorked bottle is topologically the same as a disc ... it has two sides, separated by a boundary -- an edge. But a Klein Bottle does not have an edge. It's boundary-free, and an ant can walk across the entire surface without ever crossing an edge. This is true of both theoretical Klein Bottles and our glass ones. And so, a Klein Bottle is one-sided. A Klein Bottle has one hole. This, in turn, causes it to have one handle. The genus number of an object is the number of holes (well, it's more subtle than that, but I'm not allowed to tell you why). Other genus-1 objects include innertubes, bagels, wedding rings, and teacups. A wine bottle has no holes and so is genus 0. Klein bottles are rare and we had to order this one from America where it was manufactured and engraved with our logo and details. 7 Year 13 Subject Prizes Physics: The Olympus Mons – Mars Olympus Mons (Mt. Olympus) is the largest volcano in the solar system. Residing on the "Tharsis Bulge" of Mars, it is the largest of four giant volcanoes that dominate the Eastern hemisphere of the planet. Nearly the size of Ireland, and 15 miles high, the summit literally pokes into space. The Award is a walnut plaque displaying an 8 x 8 inch resin casting of the Gusev Crater landing site of the Mars rover; Spirit. The castings use terrain height information from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) aboard the Mars Global Surveyor. The Designer The trophy was ordered directly from the designer Rick Sternbach. Rick is one of this worlds foremost space and science fiction artists. His clients have included NASA, Sky and Telescope, Data Products, Random House, Smithsonian, Analog, Astronomy, The Planetary Society, and Time-Life Books. He is a founding member and Fellow of the International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA), which was formed in 1981. He has written and illustrated articles on orbital transfer vehicles and interstellar flight for Science Digest. Beginning in the late 1970s Rick added film and television illustration and special effects to his background, with productions like Star Trek: The Motion Picture, The Last Starfighter, Future Flight, and Cosmos, for which he and other members of the art team received an Emmy award, the first for visual effects. Rick also twice received the coveted Hugo award for best professional science fiction artist, in 1977 and 1978. With the rebirth of Star Trek, beginning with The Next Generation, he was one of the first employees hired to update the Trek universe. He created new spacecraft, tricorders, phasers, and hundreds of other props and set pieces. Using pencil, pen, and computer, Rick added Deep Space Nine and Voyager to his spacecraft inventory, and kept his hand in real space design with Voyager‟s Ares IV Mars Orbiter. Rick contributed graphic designs for the Star Trek Nemesis feature film, including the new Romulan bird of prey and Senate chamber floor. He also provided computer playback graphics and animation elements for Steven Soderbergh‟s Solaris, and is now at work on a variety of freelance projects related to space flight and space hardware modelling. 8 Year 13 Subject Prizes History : Shell Art from The Ypres Battlefield Ypres, a medieval town in Belgium, was taken by the German Army at the beginning of the war. However, by early October, 1914, the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) was able to recapture the town. The first major German attempt to regain Ypres took place on 15th October. Experienced BEF riflemen held their positions but suffered heavy losses. German attacks took place for the next four weeks but with the arrival of the French Army the line was held. With the weather deteriorating, the Germans decided to abandon the Ypres offensive on the 22nd November. It is estimated that about 135,000 Germans were killed or badly wounded during the offensive. The BEF lost around 75,000 men and was effectively destroyed as a professional army. There were two more major battles at Ypres: 2nd Battle of Ypres (April-May, 1915) and Passchendaele (July-October, 1917). In April, 1915, the German launched another major offensive at Ypres. After a brief preliminary bombardment, the Germans used chlorine gas against the French and Algerian troops defending the area north of the town. The troops fled in terror and left a 7km gap in the Allied line. Wearing primitive gas-masks, the Germans advanced cautiously into the gap. The arrival of the British Second Army blocked the German advance but the Allied forces had been disadvantaged by the loss of the high ground north of Ypres. Heavy fighting and frequent gas attacks continued around Ypres until 25th May. The Allied line held, but the German Fourth Army was able to use its new higher positions to bombard the town with heavy artillery. This inflicted heavy losses and Ypres was virtually demolished by the German shells during this period. Philip Gibbs wrote about the offensive in his book Adventures in Journalism (1923) Every man of ours who fought on the way to Passchendaele agreed that those battles in Flanders were the most awful, the most bloody, and the most hellish. The condition of the ground, out from Ypres and beyond the Menin Gate, was partly the cause of the misery and the filth. Heavy rains fell, and made one great bog in which every shell crater was a deep pool. There were thousands of shell craters. Our guns had made them, and German gunfire, slashing our troops, made thousands more, linking them together so that they were like lakes in some places, filled with slimy water and dead bodies. Our infantry had to advance heavily laden with their kit, and with arms and hand-grenades and entrenching tools - like pack animals - along slimy duckboards on which it was hard to keep a footing, especially at night when the battalions were moved under cover of darkness. Trench Art wasn‟t, as is normally assumed, manufactured on the front line because the hammering involved would have been greeted with unwelcome hostile fire from the enemy. It was usually made by convalescing soldiers and prisoners of war. This piece of Trench Art is embossed Ypres. The poem "In Flanders Fields" by the Canadian army physician John McCrae remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written. It is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915. 9 10 Biology The Biology prize is made up of two Ammonite fossils dating from the Jurassic period. The Jurassic Period lasted from 210 to 140 Million years, at this time dinosaurs were evolving. During this period the oceans were not as we know them today, there were only two main continental land masses separated by the Tethys Ocean. These particular fossils were found at Weymouth and are estimated to be about 160 million years old. Health & Social Care Symmetrical arms clasp a resin sphere. Cradling the orb in a powerful embrace, they permit freedom while offering protection. Lucia Prata was born in Brazil in 1962 from where she continues to work. Her Life Force sculpture explores symbolism in abstract forms while juxtaposing cool earth elements. She places the bronze sculpture on a base of polished black granite, titled "Forma III" in Portuguese. The sculpture was imported specifically as a prize for this event. ICT - Cray Supercomputer Circuit Board Own one of the original circuit boards from the second supercomputer ever built! This machine used high-speed, multi-dimensional processing for nuclear weapons simulation. The Cray was named after its creator Seymour Cray who was widely considered to be the founder of supercomputing. „Supercomputers‟ were so named because of their ability to solve very complex mathematical problems that ordinary computers - even large commercial systems - could not practically handle. The Cray Board is matted and framed in oak. Spanish The Angel of Victory / L'Ange de la Victoire was created by Salvador Dali in 1975. It is solid bronze on a solid marble base. Originally produced as part of a limited edition for a magazine promotion, the sculpture is numbered and has Dali's signature impressed in the bronze. Photography The Kodak No 1A Series III Autographic Bellows Camera was one of Kodak‟s most popular cameras being manufactured between 1924 and 1931. It has pullout black bellows, black leatherette covering over a black enamelled metal body, rise and fall lens panel, chrome fittings and a waist level viewfinder. 11 Year 13 Subject Awards Subject Prize Winner Commended Acting Charlotte Reddington Tom Ossitt Art Jessica Coates Samantha Walker, Sophie Hardcastle Biology Rachel Ware Jessica Kellegher, Caroline Rothschild Business Studies Katie Denison Emily Courtman, Claire McCool, Jack White, Sophie Lowde Chemistry Rachel Ware Elodie Kendall, Amelia White, Benjamin Turner, Reece Hackney Childcare Learning Rebecca Simpson & Development Georgia Preston Dance Shorna-Leigh Bratton Design Technology Robert Duxbury Economics Vikram Pathak Gregory Ogle-Royfe English Literature Jessica Coates Rosie Missett, Laura Halliwell French Further Mathematics Gemma Coombes Joseph Wingfield Geography Katy Padgett George Wood Health and Social Care Chloe Jackson Emily Fieldhouse History Jessica Coates Philip Baron, Rosie Missett ICT Kumul Patel Roseanna Stone Mathematics Philip Rodger Robin Laurence, Benjamin Turner Media Kate Harris Claire McCool Music Emma Oxtoby Aidan Downes Photography Samantha Walker Physics Philip Rodger Robin Laurence Psychology Laura Halliwell Caroline Rothschild, Rosie Missett, Jessica Kellegher, Olivia Bennett Science Harriet Ramsay Rebecca Dobson Sport Phil Baron Michael Warrington Philip Rodger Physical Education Jonathan Holmes Dominic Boulton UPS Philip Baron, Rebecca Dobson Michael Warrington 12 The John Doyle Award For Exceptional Academic Achievement The John Doyle Awards have been made now for the last five years, thanks to the generous sponsorship of Mr Stef Stefanou, Chairman of John Doyle Construction. Established to reward achievement, the fund provides prizes for students who achieve in Sixth Form studies with the aim of promoting their further study in either the Sixth Form or at University. The top prize of £50 annually goes to the student with the most exceptional achievement in A2 examinations, and prizes of £25 each go to other students for academic or personal achievement. Boston Spa School is extremely grateful for the sponsorship of these awards which help recognise and promote the achievement of young people in the Sixth Form. 13 The Gus Cooper Memorial Award For Commitment and Excellence In Performing Arts Gus Cooper Sculpture Aegean Faces by Alexsander Danel Gus Cooper When Gus joined Boston Spa School as Head of Drama in 1980, it marked the beginning of two decades committed to sharing his love of theatre and drama as well as his enthusiasm for life to as many pupils as possible. Gus was passionate in his belief that young people should have an opportunity to experience a wide diversity of theatrical styles and genres, ranging from musicals such as West Side Story to plays by Shakespeare and Brecht. He believed that students should have the opportunity to learn about all aspects of the theatre, both onstage and behind it, and he encouraged those who showed an interest in the technical aspects of theatre work with the same fervor as those who showed a talent for performing. He invested a great deal of time and effort to draw on the potential of all pupils in his care, no matter what their academic background, to produce as high a standard of performance as possible. Although he demanded total commitment in workshops and productions, his irrepressible humour helped to make taking part an unforgettable experience. The many letters, cards and warm wishes sent to his family after his death in 2002 are testimony to the important role his drama classes and productions played for many of the pupils who attended Boston Spa School during those years. We hope that this award will encourage a continuance of enthusiasm and commitment to theatre and drama and at the same time provide a fitting tribute to the years that Gus Cooper filled the Boston Spa drama workshop with his inimitable creative energy. 14 The Liz Bucktrout Memorial Award For Exceptional Progress Liz Bucktrout was our friend, teacher and colleague. She joined us at Boston Spa in 1998, and died in the summer of 2010 after a courageous battle against cancer. At our school our young people held her in great esteem. She had that so valuable skill, of being able to win young people from every possible background, ability and ambition. She won them from the heart, leaving them enthused and motivated, not just to achieve for themselves, but they all carried a fear that the worst could possibly happen would be that they would let Miss Bucktrout down. In the staffroom she was held with great affection, not just for the quality of her leadership or her work in the classroom, but also because of her warmth, good humour and most of all her personal integrity. Liz was successful because she had a core of strongly held values that she acted upon; these included a commitment to see all achieve, a belief in her own ability to take on a challenge, an underlying belief that the individual mattered and deserved respect. She had an innate radar for understanding what made people in her team tick. The ability to change tactic and approach as the need determined. An approach she was able to take with young people and adults alike. When it came to Liz‟s diagnosis of cancer, she took our breath away with her courage. All those of us who had the privilege of working with her admired the remarkable bravery, personal resilience and incredible strength of character she displayed throughout that time. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of Liz‟s journey over the last two years of her life is that selflessness, as we never heard or saw the slightest touch of self pity, anger or resentment, just a single minded determination that she would not be defined by her illness. It is a mystery to all of us as to where she found that type of resilience, character and strength to travel that journey, her clarity of purpose and values undoubtedly resolved around the strength she found in her husband Graham, and her two sons Jonathan and Christopher. Her determination to „face it‟ has served us all well. We each have had the privilege of marvelling at her attitude, and we owe Liz a debt, for what we have gained in strength and example from her. We are glad to remember her in the Liz Bucktrout Award, which recognises the type of admirable personal qualities we saw in Liz developing in one of our young people. 15 Whole Sixth Form Awards Award Winner The John Doyle Award for exceptional Academic Achievement Jessica Coates The Governors Shield for Academic Achievement Philip Rodger The Headteacher‟s Award for outstanding Personal Achievement Rachel Ware Intermediate Students of the Year Lauren Jowett, Craig Sampson Head of Sixth Form Award For Exceptional Effort Reece Hackney The Chair of Governors Award for Exceptional Project Parvinder Digpal Work The Sixth Form tutors Award for Contributions to the Sixth Form David Joyce The Boston Spa Sixth Form Award for Enterprise Katie Denison The Boston Spa Sixth Form Award for Outstanding Leadership Jonathan Holmes Liz Bucktrout Award for Exceptional Progress Gregory Ogle-Royfe The Gus Cooper Memorial Award For Commitment and Charlotte Leaf Excellence in Performing Arts The Boston Spa Sixth Form Essay Prize Caroline Rothschild The Boston Spa Award for Investigative Science Patrick Suddaby Female Sports Personality of the Year Fiona Berry Male Sports Personality of the Year Michael Warrington Male Football Academy Player of the Year David McKay Male Football Academy Players‟ Player Adam Burnell Male Football Top Scorer Matthew Lombard Female Football Academy Player of the Year Jessica Drinkwater 16 Award Winner Female Football Academy Players‟ Player Fiona Berry Leeds United Academy Student of the Year Nathan & Lewis Turner Year 13 Progress and Achievement Awards Robin Laurence Year 13 Progress and Achievement Awards Elodie Kendall Year 13 Progress and Achievement Awards Caroline Rothschild Year 13 Progress and Achievement Awards Laura Halliwell Year 13 Progress and Achievement Awards Samantha Walker Year 13 Progress and Achievement Commendation Louisa Oxland Year 13 Progress and Achievement Commendation Katy Padgett Year 13 Progress and Achievement Commendation Ben Turner Year 13 Progress and Achievement Commendation Rosie Missett Year 13 Progress and Achievement Commendation Rebecca Foster Year 13 Progress and Achievement Commendation Gemma Coombes Year 13 Progress and Achievement Commendation Alex Lister Year 13 Progress and Achievement Commendation Vikram Pathak 17 WORLD CHALLENGE AFRICA 2011 Summer 2011 was one of the best experiences of my life, regardless of the £4000 required to fund the trip! Throughout the expedition there were incredible experiences to enjoy; from the paradise of the beaches at Zanzibar to the amazing food at carnivore, it really was the experience of a life time! Once we had finished our four day acclimatisation trek in the usambaras mountain range (where we were fortunate enough to see not only monkeys, but several chameleons also), we set off to the town of moshi for our safari in the ngorongoro crater. To say we were lucky would be a monumental understatement! The range of animals we saw was simply incredible, from rhinos to hyenas to hippos, and almost everything in between. To conclude our journey, we made our way to Carnivore restaurant in Nairobi where the food was simply exquisite! The menu ranged from chicken breast and sausage to crocodile, camel and ox balls! Huw Davies & Nick Whitehead 18 Leeds United Male FDC 2011 With successes from the previous two seasons, expectations were high as the season started in September. We started the season with a run of defeats in the league, and at the turn of the New Year, we found ourselves in the bottom two with many inconsistent performances. Things did improve towards the latter end of the season with a run of eight league games unbeaten. A final push and a win over a side challenging for top spot, meant we finished the league in 4th position. Things were different in the cup competitions however. With the good run which ended in the last thirty two of the National Cup, which started with just under eight hundred teams, and disappointment of being knocked out of the Leeds Schools Cup, our last chance of success was left in a competition that had been a target of Manager Mr. Swales for six years. He said, “The West Yorkshire Cup has always been on my list to win. I have had teams reach the semi-final on many occasions, only to lose out with very dubious decisions”. He continued by saying that this cup was set as a target for this season. With some difficult games won in the early stages, the main win was against local rivals Wetherby in the semis. “This was a fantastic game” he said, “with both teams capable of winning it”. With the game going from one end to the other, it was a spectacle for the observers. “We won it 4-3 in the end, with a last grasp winner. Both teams commended themselves excellently that night, and whoever won were the favourites for the final”. The final was played on neutral ground at Ossett against a very enthusiastic and able Temple Moor. With most of possession going our way, Temple scored against the run of play. An equaliser wasn‟t far away however with the score 1-1 at half time. Following a quick discussion at the break, Boston were in confident mood for the 2 nd half. Some super play saw them score some fantastic goals, and eventually ran out 4-2 winners. Mr. Swales again applauded both teams for the way in which they played, yet was overwhelmed with his team‟s efforts to come from behind. He finished by saying “I am pleased for the lads. They have had a fantastic two years together, and to finish with a cup was just a fitting finale”. He continued, “We have had our ups and downs as all teams do, and the dressing room has been turned blue a few times, but they are a great set of lads and it has been a pleasure working with them. They have thoroughly deserved all their success and I wish them many more successes in whatever they do”.
