MANCHESTER City Football Club’s global ‘Treble Trophy Tour’ made a special visit to St Dominic’s College in Sydney this week. The historic treble-winning trophy set, comprising the Premier League trophy, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League trophy, landed at the school’s Kingswood campus and was greeted by excited students and staff. The treble exhibition also included a surprise ‘quadruple’ trophy – the UEFA Super Cup – which Manchester City secured by defeating Seville in Athens in August. The UEFA Super Cup is a one-off fixture between the winners of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. St Dominic’s College was last month announced as one of two new Manchester City Football Schools in New South Wales, alongside Waverley College near Bondi. Commencing in 2024, St Dominic’s College will offer programs for both Year 7 and Year 9 students. Principal Simon Abernethy said interest in the Manchester City Football School was very strong, with a trial held on Saturday, October 7 and another to come on Saturday, October 14.
“As soon as we announced our new partnership with Manchester City Football Club, the enquiries started to flood in,” Mr Abernethy said.
“It’s been great to see so many students and families in the area excited about the possibilities this program will provide in the years ahead. Our parent information evening was very popular along with the trials themselves.
“Having four global football trophies arrive at the College is a privilege for our students and staff to be involved with. It could well be a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
