Dorothy Stringer are in the hunt for national glory on three fronts.

The under-14 and under-16 boys team have reached the last 16 of their English Schools' Cup competitions.

The Brighton and Hove school are already in the last eight of the girls' under-14 competition.

Under-16s coach Wayne Podbury said: "Having three teams doing so well nationally is massive for the school. It has put a smile on the faces of some rundown-looking teachers. Something like this doesn't happen too often."

His team came back to beat Salesian (Surrey) 4-1 in extra-time with Aaron Gunn (2), Ben Harding and Paul Sargeant netting.

The under-14s beat Harvey Grammar (Kent) 5-0 with Dan Acquaye (2), Sam Gargan, Jerahl Hughes and Jamie Brotherton on target.

The under-14s entertain Benjamin Britten (Suffolk) next week.
