Coppa San Paolo
The Beda reached the semi-finals of the Coppa San Paolo, a joyful celebration of sport and friendship among seminarians in Rome, now in its third year.

The Coppa San Paolo, organised by the college, was a wonderful occasion, with the Beda reaching the semi-finals — a fantastic result!

Special gratitude goes to Gerard Holden (Scots College) and Anthony Duns (Beda) for founding this competition three years ago and for continuing to make it such a success.

Thank you to all who made this possible — the organisers and everyone who gave practical support, the promoters, refs, photographers, and supporters, and of course all the players. What a joy it is to see such a celebration of friendship and sport in the heart of Rome!

An amazing achievement for priestly formation in the Eternal City.
