STUDENTS at Ormiston Bolingbroke Academy in Runcorn had plenty to cheer about when they travelled to Anfield to watch the Four Nations Rugby League Tournament between Australia and New Zealand.

Accompanied by teachers from the school on Barnfield Avenue in Murdishaw, pupils were able to witness one of the biggest sporting tournaments of the year.

Sheena Oulton, assistant principal, said: “The majority of the crowd were supporting the Kiwi side in the absence of the England team, who had narrowly missed out on a place in the final. 

“The Kiwi team performed better in the second half and OBA’s students were soon on their feet celebrating when New Zealand crossed over the whitewash to score a spectacular try.”
