Three and in for Saints!

Mar 8 2005, Liverpool Echo

ALL SAINTS School dominated the Knowsley Secondary Schools Basketball finals that were staged at Brookfield High School, by winning three out of the five finals contested.

The Kirkby School took the honours in years seven and eight with a double victory over St Edmund Arrowsmith. This was followed by a Year 9 success over local rivals Ruffwood.

The Year 10 play-off produced a match of great tension, in which St Edmund Arrow-smith narrowly lost a third final, this time to Prescot. Scores were level after normal time and overtime, which meant the match was decided by a shoot out from the free throw line. Prescot's Jonathon Duffy holding his nerve to provide victory; although the man of the match came from St Edmund Arrowsmith, Shegan Okunade.

Prescot's luck ran out in the year 11 final, losing to Knowsley Hey, who won their year group for the second year running. James Leyden was man of the match.
