U16 Boys National Cup - Round 4
Wednesday saw the highly anticipated U16 National Cup Round 4 v Brooke House College.
CCS had progressed after a confident 4-0 away win in Market Harborough last week. This time it was the Leicestershire schoolboys that headed to Caroline Chisholm.
A week of unsettled weather had thrown doubt onto the pitch, but the theatre of dreams was in fine condition (albeit a little wet) come 2pm in the afternoon.
Brooke House had beaten Northampton School for Boys 4-1 in the previous round, and they were hoping to pile more misery on a Northamptonshire side. Brooke House boast a fantastic football academy and as such attract a number of international students. CCS would therefore go into game as huge underdogs.
The sun was shining brightly come kick off and CCS raced into a 1-0 lead following an own goal. Brooke House began to get a stronghold on the game and dominated possession. CCS broke away on a lethal counter-attack and A. Evans fired home to double the home side’s lead. Brooke House pushed hard to get back into the game and created a number of chances. CCS defended superbly and went into half-time 2-0 up.
The second half started in similar fashion. Brooke House dominating possession and beginning to create chances. CCS had lined up another sucker punch though. The impressive T. Allen burst down the right side before squaring the ball for A. Morrow to slot home. 3-0 and CCS were in dreamland!
Brooke House we’re not done though. They reduced the deficit from the spot before being awarded a second spot kick, again scored. 3-2 with 5 minutes remaining. Could CCS hang on?….
In the forth minute of added time Brooke House found their equaliser! CCS hearts were broken as the game headed into extra time…
Brooke House took the lead in the extra period and for the first time in the tie were ahead. Could they hang on?.. No!
Z. Shearman capitalised on the pressure finding the ball at his feet inside the box and calmly placed it into the far corner! 4-4 after extra time as the final whistle sounded.
It’s penalties… having shown such resilience to fight back to level the game after conceding 4 in a row, CCS felt confident ahead of the shootout. Could they do it?
First penalty was scored for CCS. J. Bedford then made a save. CCS scored again before Brooke House missed their 2nd. CCS scored a third piling big pressure on Brooke House. They scored their next penalty giving captain J. Rayfield the chance to win it for CCS. He confidently dispatched the penalty into the bottom corner and jubilant scenes followed. CCS had done it!
4-4aet (3-3ft) CCS qualify 4-1 on pens.

What a game, what a performance and most of all, what a win!
Round 5 is yet to be drawn so the boys have a couple of weeks to enjoy this win!
A fantastic win and a very well executed game plan! I am very proud of them all.

On Tuesday 22nd November CCS hosted a hockey tournament. The tournament included 6 teams from 5 different schools: CCS, Malcolm Arnold, NSG, Magdalen and Sponne. It was fantastic to see around 50 girls playing hockey and having fun.
Both CCS teams played really well against tough opposition, the girls showed great hockey skills and teamwork throughout their games.
CCS Team 1 finished winners of the tournament by winning 4 out of 5 games!
CCS Team 2 finished joint 5th place.
On Tuesday 22 November, CCS welcomed the lovely Pitsford sixth form/Year 11 netball team over for a friendly match. It was a very close, well fought match with some outstanding defending from F Allen, C Wong, K Lemmon and C Miller. As always M Jones, A Mellish, and H Pettit were strong when they were shooting and E Webster worked well in the centre court. It was great to see J Eze back at Centre and T McCaughey fed well into the circle. K Lemmon picked up so many loose balls, and it was 8 – 8 at half time but in the second half Pitsford tired (understandably as they had a smaller squad due to illness) and CCS dominated the 2nd half and won 18 – 10.
Player of the match as voted for by the Pitsford team F Allen. Well done to the team.
Our U14 Boys Football team met Abbeyfield last night for their most recent County Cup game.
A fantastic start to the game saw CCS in control and managing the game well. A sloppy end to the half saw the scores 1-1 at half time.
A stalemate in the 2nd half with a few excellent saves from the Abbeyfield goalkeeper and a crucial late save with 20 seconds remaining from F.McMillan in goal for CCS. CCS won 4-2 on penalties with F.McMillan saving and all of the takers converting theirs for CCS.
Our U14 Boys Rugby Team welcomed Parker Academy for round 16 in the County Cup. The boys secured a 45 - 7 win with a commanding win. After conceding the first try, our boys turned the game around with fantastic defensive play and strong ball carrying.
On Thursday 10 November, Campion came over to CCS to play a friendly football match on the Astro. Well done to all the girls who played really well. CCS won 15 – 0.
