On Thursday 9th January 2020, 8 Year 8 Girls went to Burton Albion to represent The de Ferrers Academy and Burton Albion in the Under 13 EFL Cup area finals. They were 1 of 10 teams (Birmingham City, Coventry City, Crewe, Macclesfield Town, Port Vale, Shrewsbury, Stoke City, Walsall and West Bromwich Albion) 

de Ferrers were split into two groups and the results were:

   Burton Albion vs Stoke - we lost 2-1

   Burton Albion vs Port Vale - we won 2-1

   Burton Albion vs Crewe - we won 2-0

   Burton Albion vs West Brom Albion - we lost 1-0

This meant the final game would be for 3rd/4th place. They played Walsall and won 2-0, so came 3rd out of 10 overall. 

Congratulations to all of the girls, who were a credit to the Academy.
