For the second year in succession, Caroline Chisholm School played NSB to be crown county cup champions in a highly anticipated final. Last year NSB were triumphant, winning on penalties, but CCS made sure there would be no repeat of that again.

From kick-off, CCS asserted dominance and soon the scoreboard lit up as CCS took an early lead after just 3 minutes. A dream start. A second goal came within the first 10 minutes of the game and, after a finely worked move, CCS scored their third of the game in the 18^th minute, which remained the scoreline at half-time.

NSB tried to break through the CCS’s solid defence but were thwarted at every turn through some resolute defending and some fantastic saves from H. Duff in goal. CCS capitalised on NSB looking for their first goal of the game and launched relentless attacks when winning the ball to score again early in the second half. CCS’s cohesive display proved too much for NSB and when the final whistle blew, CCS emerged triumphant with a resounding 6-0 victory.

A man of the match display from T. Goodman helped propel the team to victory with 5 assists during the game. Scores included J. Ferreria, J. Foku, M. Marcu and C. Rosetti.

A great season in which the team were unbeaten ended with captain R. Southworth lifting the county cup final trophy. All the boys that played for the team this season should be incredibly proud of themselves, as I certainly am.

Last night, the Year 7 boys played Malcom Arnold and won 7-0!

Goal Scorers: O Witheyman (3) B Page (1) B Koomson (1) Ja Spires (1) T Alexander (1)

A dominant performance from the boys, who started the first half strong, dominating possession, but just couldn’t find the back of the net. Went into half-time 0-0, determined to make up for this, the boys came out to the second half ready to make amends after a goalless first half.

An incredibly dominant second half saw the Year 7’s finish the game 7-0 with O Witheyman scoring a hat-trick and our keeper, H Urquhart, keeping a clean sheet. A five-star performance from the boys! 

Player of the Match: O Witheyman

Last night, our Year 8 boys played a district league fixture against Elizabeth Woodville School (EWS) and won 4-1.

It was the second away fixture of the year for the boys, and they were feeling confident coming off the back of a victory a couple of weeks ago. CCS started very strong, racing into a 3-0 lead before half time with goals from Kai’Marni I, Toby M and Sean C.

Heading into the break 3-0 up, the boys wanted more goals and could see the opportunities increasing. EWS managed to pull one back, but this didn’t faze the boys, and they went on to pull another goal through Josh K, finishing the game 4-1.

A very successful away trip for the team seeing us go 2 wins out of 2 in the league and placing us top.

MOM: Kai’Marni I

CCS attended the U12 County Netball Plate at KBA on Tuesday 5^th March.  The girls played some lovely netball against some tough opposition, winning 3 games, drawing 1 and losing 4.

They finished 6^th in their pool.  Some lovely play from the girls, especially M Couldrick, E Savage and A Hunt.  However, for overall consistent play, the player of the tournament was B Dudley.
