The Cygnet - 17th January

Boys’ Sports

Middle School (Football)

There was some exciting Football played on Thursday afternoon by the Year 3 boys against Chandlings. Effort from all the boys was through the roof, which lays a good foundation upon which composure and fine tuning of skills can be made. Notable performances include Harry M, who scored twice from outside the box, Theo H who was menace in goal, a hat-rick from Freddie B and a rifled screamer from Marley H, which put the cherry on top of a fantastic performance from Mr Rogers’ side. The U9As had a tough start to the season against a clinical Pinewood side on Tuesday. Effort throughout the team was unquestionable and some of the interplay showed positive signs for the rest of the season. Rocky VL was superb in goal, making key saves and keeping the team in the game, Jonny W scored both goals, the first a strong strike with his right foot and the second as a result of clever footwork in the box, which he finished with his left. MVP however was Harry S, who pounded round every blade of grass and was clever in his link up play. The U9Bs got their season off to a strong start with three 12-minute matches, drawing the first 1-1, winning the second 5-0 and finishing with a 0-0 draw. William A converted late in the first game, Rory C scored a handful of goals in the second and Billy G put in a strong defensive performance in the final match. The U9C enjoyed a superb start to the season with a convincing 5-0 win against Pinewood. The work rate and determination shown by all the team was fantastic. Seb L was always involved making excellent tackles and passing the ball well. But MVP was Henry K, who dribbled the ball quickly, always pressed the opposition when they had the ball and scored two brilliant goals.
