The co-educational day and boarding school clinched the Sussex Schools’ County Cup following a 3-0 win against a talented and resilient Seaford Head side in the final.

Claremont, who conceded just three goals throughout the competition, led 1-0 at half time. Seaford Head came out re-energised in the second period and narrowly missed several chances.
