@officialdafc
It’s hard to imagine anyone more deserving: such dedication & desire. Another great example of how players can combine education with a football future. Good luck Matty! 👍👏⚽️
So proud of these boys to lift the trophy for Repton again after such a year. They were representing so many out there today, not least boys no longer at the school who helped them get through to this stage. They did everyone proud with a controlled and mature performance. 🏆👏
Very proud of the boys who collectively decided they wished to take the knee before the match today to celebrate the start of
#BlackHistoryMonth
....great to have good footballers, but even better to have socially aware young men.
#team
This wonderful group of players. To rise to the occasion with a performance like that against such top opposition on a sweltering day...wow. They deserve every plaudit. A remarkable team:every player will appreciate and remember being part of this group for a long long time. 🏆👏
Historic moment as our captain, Jake Raine, finally broke the all-time 1st XI scoring record held by legendary OR striker
@MattGooders
since 1996. His three years in the 1st XI have so far yielded 72 goals, despite two years playing in midfield.

Football is back....and what a game. A 4-2 victory (aet) away at

Just in case you were wondering how dedicated you need to be to sit three A-levels and earn a professional football contract. I confidently predict that

So proud of these boys in taking us through to our first

final since 2010 to play our friends from

Such a mature and professional performance in an amazing atmosphere at Eton College. Thanks to

for such a tense match.
The 1st XI boys have secured the first ever

@bedes_sport
.To finish the league unbeaten against such quality opposition is a huge achievement and to be the first to lift this amazing trophy is a real honour
#ReptonFootball
If ever there was a classic Repton 1st XI performance, this was it. I’ve been doing this a fair few years and the level of discipline, concentration & desire has rarely been bettered. 2-0 victory through Jones & J.Raine. This is our level now....let’s keep it there.
#seville2019
So proud of our boys tonight. Some tough hurdles to get over but we played with pride, passion & spirit in the second half to show everyone what we are all about. Little things didn't quite fall our way but so pleased for
@BradfieldXI
- a class outfit who deserve their success.
So proud of the boys today. We had to battle through some adversity, but came so, so close. To lose on penalties to a strong side such as
@FootballHampton
is no disgrace. We are always in there fighting.... and we go again after Easter.

An amazing victory in the

Barry Burns Northern 8s for a record 6th time. Some tough matches in the morning, and needed to win 5 consecutive matches to take the title…..great teamwork and resilience. 🏆👏🥇
What a final game. A 1-0 win over a superb

Really proud of our U15 group playing in their U14

@ClaremontFA
who were worthy winners, but pleased with our tenacity & determination. The progress in 12 months has been stunning....excited to see the next step. ⚽️👏
What a player
@FurmanSoccer
are getting in Jake. His record marks him out as one of the greatest Repton players of all time. A big game player, captain and goal scorer. I know he’s going to do great things in the US. 🇺🇸⚽️👍
A fine 3-0 victory in the match this evening. A tough test but two goals from J. Raine and one from Felipes sees us through. An outfield debut for GK Milan too!
#seville2019
So proud to be crowned the
@ISL20_21
Hudl League Champions for the third time in four years. So many challenges to overcome in the summer term after the toughest of years, & against the toughest of opponents. The boys proved to be as resilient as they are talented. Amazing.🏆⚽️
Great to be back out in the sunshine this afternoon. The returning U6 looked very sharp, as did the L6 enjoying their first day of Sixth Form. We need to be patient, but there is a very exciting season ahead for these boys. 👍
What a performance to cap one of the most stunning weeks of football Repton has seen. A near 5 hour journey before emerging from the bus to secure a huge 4-0 win. This team....always up for the game, always ready, always competitive.

So good to have a game this afternoon against
@ShrewsSchFooty
Both sides giving game time to over 17 players and a really good run-out to blow away some cobwebs. ⚽️
The U15s had a great evening at
@StGeorgesPark
last night with a wonderful victory in the Burton & District Cup Final. Great to lift a bit of silverware and still plenty to play for this season. The U16 side will look to match them on the same pitch this Friday evening. 🏆⚽️
A mammoth away trip in the
@isfafootball
U18 Cup against
@TruroSchool

A great end to the season with a hard fought 2-0 win against
@bedes_sport
Brilliant to reach the end of a season that we thought might never happen. Also wonderful to see Laolu there supporting us today - that really lifted the spirits. ⚽️
A tough match, but a stunning result in the

The character we had to show was immense...this team has never been tighter. Jake Raine with another hat-trick & Nto with a brilliant 4th settled the tie.

A huge thanks to all at

Terrific win on the road in the 3rd Round of the

Just a stunning performance this afternoon from our U14s in the

A very pleasing performance in the

It’s fair to say that we clinically punished a few rusty errors, and the scoreline did flatter us a little, but we played some nice football and kept another important clean sheet. ⚽️
Congratulations to
@millfieldfoot
on their
@isfafootball
semi final victory today. We gave it everything, against some tough odds, in that 2nd half but we just left ourselves too much to do. Our opponents were worthy winners and we wish them luck in the final.
#wegoagain
A thrilling
@ISL19_20
match this afternoon as Millfield race into a 2-0 lead before two goals from Jerry Williams pulls it back to 2-2 at half time. A double from Anje Fowajuh gives the 1st XI a fine 4-2 victory in the toughest of tests. A tremendous show of character. 💪⚽️
A fantastic performance from these lads last night to lift the
@StaffsSchoolsFA
U18 cup in their final game of the season. The football was a joy to watch and the players, as ever, represented the school superbly. 🏆👏⚽️
This is always one of my favourite pictures as we were fortunate enough to have John presenting the

So sad to hear that our great friend, John Appleby, has sadly passed away. An incredible influence on Staffordshire football and football in schools. An inspiration to so many, myself included, and a good friend. His influence will live on through the countless numbers he helped.
Huge day for our ex-captain Laurence Wyke, signing for

An excellent day for Harry and Tobi playing for the
@isfafootball
U18 side and helping them secure a 4-1 win over Welsh Colleges U19. Both boys are having a tremendous season. 👏
Big afternoon today for these lads as they enjoy their last 1st XI match. They’ve fought some huge battles together over the last couple of years, and won far more than they’ve lost. Lots of amazing performances and loads of memories: we’ll miss them.

Tremendous game from the U16 side as they lift the Burton&District title for the first time ever with a 4-2 victory
@StGeorgesPark
A great effort from

who threw everything at it, but Fin B hat-trick & a header from Fraser G clinched it. 🏆⚽️
Fantastic to have the Headmaster

host a BBQ to present the 1st XI with their

Fresh from his

A further strengthening of the link between Repton & the club that will allow Henry to study for A-levels & pursue a professional contract.👍

A tense game against a very good

title for the second successive year. To emerge with six wins, between September and April against such opposition is an immense achievement. So proud of the boys.
An exciting and exhausting
@isfafootball
Quarter Final v Harrow. Tough test, but we had enough quality to score two and the back line held firm for a 5th consecutive clean sheet. Looking forward to a huge Semi Final next term!

What a group! Dead on our feet after Monday, but the character shines through again to produce when it matters. Such an impressive win in a tournament that requires skill, stamina and mental toughness.
#Kingsofthenorth
It’s great for all of our Repton footballers - past and present - to realise that they are part of such a long and rich history. Pulling on that maroon shirt is an honour that many generations have aspired towards, and so it continues to this very day. ⚽️
Congratulations to Tom Whitwell on being appointed as Captain of Football for the 2020/21 season. It will be his third year in the 1st XI and Tom will continue the long line of inspirational captains we’ve had over the years. When next season starts...we will be ready.

An excellent 2nd half performance sees the 1st XI boys advance to the
@isfafootball
Boodles SF. A 5-0 score line flatters us a little & does not reflect the competitive nature of the game. Well done to
@EpsomC_Football
on an amazing cup run this year. 👏⚽️
An excellent game against
@ArdinglySport
this afternoon ends in a 2-1 victory. The highlight had to be a continued return from injury, and the first ever goal in Repton colours, for Tommy. A fabulous moment after 12 months out. 👏
A little stroll around the site this morning. Pitches look in tremendous condition and getting ready nicely for our return in a couple of weeks. Thanks to our Grounds team for the great work they are putting in. 👏☀️⚽️
An impressive
@ISL21_22
performance from the 1st XI today against
@millfieldfoot
The reflection and hard work on the training ground really paid off as goals from Bahia (3) and Aurelian secured the win. A great contest. 👏
So interesting to read about Laurence’s journey to the MLS via Repton. A great example of determination and hard work, he also has A-levels & a degree behind him too!
So nice to see some football back at Repton this morning as
@oldreptonianfc
played a high quality Midlands v London fixture. Really enjoyed catching up with so many old faces....and seeing how well they are still playing! Looking forward to the new season 🙏
Absolutely wonderful gesture here from
@alanshearer
to pay tribute to the amazing work our friend John Appleby has done for Staffordshire and Burton & District football over 50 years. Hard to quantify how much joy and opportunity he has brought to young lives in all those years.
Thrilling start to our
@ISL19_20
campaign today at Bradfield. A 3-1 win against a side that will be very strong this year. Williams, Fowajuh & Y.Wong score to demonstrate that the character we have displayed over the last few years lives on strongly. Very proud of the boys. 👏⚽️
Well done to the four Repton U17 boys involved in the ISFA match v Brighton Academy today. An excellent 2-0 win and plenty of development opportunities thanks to
@isfafootball
👏⚽️
An amazing few days of football capped by an outstanding 7–1 victory against
@tts_sport
in the
@SchoolsFootball
Cup. Game tighter than it sounds but incredible discipline and concentration topped off with some wonderfully creative goals. A complete performance. 👏
Huge congratulations to the U14 squad who have secured their first trophy (hopefully of many) in the Burton & District Cup Final today. Goals from Flanagan, Riley and Schneck secure a 3-1 win. Well done boys! 👏⚽️🏆
So.......a second
@SchoolsFootball
U18 Cup Final in two years. More details to follow, but make sure you put Tuesday April 2nd, 12pm KO at

in the diary. Hope we can match this feeling......
Great to be back playing with a block fixture against John Port today. First time representing the school for both the U14s and U15s (at last!). Some great football, loads of goals and four tight games. ⚽️
Really proud to see Tom, Jerry and Eno secure US university offers to continue their football adventure alongside higher education. So many different pathways open to our Repton footballers now and great to be part of these individual journeys.
It has been wonderful to hear of 6 Reptonians who have secured offers to study at prestigious universities in the US. We are proud to provide expert higher educational advice, find out how we guide each pupil through the application process➡️
We’ve had some international representatives over the last couple of weeks with Ricko playing for Gibraltar U17 in the UEFA qualifiers while Chun & Yat are away representing Hong Kong U19 at the moment. Wonderful to see our boys doing so well. 👍
A tough match against Dronfield this afternoon. 0-1 down at HT, but a far better second half sees us power through to win 5-1. Birch(2), Nto(2) & Raine with the goals. Score a bit harsh on opponents who were in the game for long periods. The character of this team though....💪🏆
Long journey, but a happy trip home as we win 5-1 over a good
@Buckswood_UK
side in the
@isfafootball
Boodles Cup this afternoon. Goals from Buffin (2), Sawyers, Nto & Hickman enough to see us though to R3. Many thanks to
@EBFCTheSports

So pleased for

and proud that he becomes Repton’s first MLS player. Such a top man who, unsurprisingly, seems to be impressing everyone. Good luck.....the

An excellent set of matches against our friends from
@StaffsSchoolsFA
1st XI win after being 0-1 down at HT against Staffs U16 side whilst our U15s worked hard but came up short against Staffs U15. Performance of the day has to be the U14A side who secured a 3-2 over Staffs U14.
A good few days of County Cup football comes to an end with the U15s making their Semi Final after a 3-0 win and the U16s making their Final with a remarkable 9-1 victory. The 1st XI complete the week with another strong 5-0 victory. 👏⚽️
A busy first week back for our footballers. Some great pre-season matches against
