Weston Park have reached the last eight of the English National Schools Trophy.

The Southampton-based school will play in the southern area semi-final against Thomas Hardye school from Dorchester tomorrow.

The tie was set up after a 5-0 drubbing of John Henry Newman School from Stevenage.

Bournemouth academy player Liam Crook the team's skipper, bagged a hat-trick, with Gary Crook and Sam James also on target.

If Weston win again tomorrow, they will play in the southern final at RAF Cosforth in Wolverhampton on March 16.

The squad of Year 11 boys have won the Hampshire Cup three times since forming in 2000, and are looking forward to going all the way and being crowned English Schools champions - a feat which has never been achieved by any Hampshire school.

Squad: Matthew Brown, Gary Harrington, Mitchell Turley, Craig Randall, Guy Noyce, Gary Crook, Joe Prince-Wright, Jamie Barron, Liam Crook, TJ Cuthbertson, Sam James, Alex Arnold, Craig Holland, Kieran Lewis, Kane Cousins, Michael Blake.
