Charlie Trollope

Charlie Trollope was man of the tournament for Cambridge Middle School last week.

His futsal team beat Tokoroa Intermediate 9-0, Rototuna Junior High School 4-0, Maeroa Intermediate 5-0 and Peachgrove Intermediate 10-0 in pool play, advancing to a semifinal against Berkley Normal Middle School before defeating Matamata Intermediate in the final at The Peak Recreation Centre in Hamilton.
