Yesterday, our U15 boys faced Weavers Academy for the second round of the Football County Cup. Despite some very chilly weather, the boys soon warmed up and got stuck into the game!
Final score: CCS 5 - 1 Weavers Academy
CCS now advance to the quarter-finals.
On Tuesday 12 December, our U14 boys rugby team travelled to Moulton School to face their opponents on home ground.
The boys played a very hard match, and I can't fault any one of them! They gave it their all and never gave up, even though nothing was going their way against an incredibly strong Moulton team.
Final score: Moulton 50 - 0 CCS
Player of the match: R Botizat
After a closely fought of round of 16 results, the boys were motivated going into this game with the semi-finals on the horizon.
CCS started very strongly taking a quick 2-0 lead. However, this was cut short as Bishop scored 2 free-kicks, taking us into half-time drawing 2-2. The possibility of extra-time and penalties was something the boys did not want to entertain and went into the second half positive and ready to take the game away from Bishop, which they did, taking a 4-2 lead going into the final 15 minutes.
Bishop pulled one back to make it 4-3 before equalising again, making it 4-4. The games high pace and energy ensured it was a frantic last 5 minutes. Bishop hit the post with a free kick and within the final few seconds, scored, but to the CCS boys relief this was ruled out for being offside. Another county cup game that went to extra-time, the intensity of the game didn’t drop with both sides going close to a winner. However, extra-time came to an end and, in to a penalty shootout the boys went…
The boys were clinical scoring 4 of their penalties with Bishop scoring two, but Lenny F made two fantastic saves, securing the CCS win taking them through into the semi-final.
Caroline Chisholm School 4 – 4 Bishop Stopford School (CCS win 4-2 on Penalties)
MOM: Lenny Faruku
For only the second time in CCS primary history, we reached the district football finals last Thursday. The team have been playing fixtures since October and ended top of their group.
On finals night, we first played a strong Brixworth side who were well drilled and kept our opportunities to a minimum. A couple of brilliant saves from Harry kept the score all square until the last minute of extra time when Oliver broke through from centre back, ran the length of the pitch to have a wonderful strike saves by the Brixworth keeper, however, our brilliant striker Caleb was poised to fire in the rebound.
In the final, we faced Bugbrooke primary. A slight change in the CCS formation had an immediate impact with Caleb’s shot being forced into their own goal. Caleb doubled our lead after 7 minutes with a smart finish.
A huge congratulations to all the boys who will travel to Moulton in January for the county finals.
We are so proud of the U14 girls football team who played with such determination. Unfortunately, it didn't go their way today, and they lost 2-1 in the Northampton tournament. It was a fantastic team effort and so close.

CCS welcomed Pitsford for a Sixth Form netball match. Unfortunately, many of the CCS team were unable to play due to work commitments, but those that did play, did so well and worked very hard and played some fabulous netball.
Well done to all the sixth formers: M Jones, J Eze, R Mistry, L Turner, T Knox, E Knight
CCS welcomed Pitsford to play 2 friendly matches last Thursday. Pitsford had a strong Year 10 team against a CCS Year 9 team, and it was incredibly close and great to push our strong Year 9’s, and they coped really well.
I Robertson’s shooting was fabulous, and A Hollis passed well into the circle. Special mention to the defenders of F Osisanya and J Denness who marked the strong shooters from Pitsford so well and made some fabulous interceptions.
Well done to many of the Year 9’s who were playing their first game for CCS. R Parmer, I Anand and L Tilley had brilliant matches and T Gisanrin and E Taylor as always used their experience and netball knowledge to support the students who were playing their first matches.
A lovely afternoon of netball. Well done to all!
CCS welcomed Elizabeth Woodville School and Sponne School as part of a Year 7/8 futsal tournament on Monday 4 December.
The first game was against Sponne, which was an incredibly competitive game for the boys with a back and forth feel. Sponne took the lead and then CCS scored, soon becoming a common theme of the game. However, a determined and resilient CCS saw them bring back a goal in the last minute to win the game 4-3.
Moving into the second and final game of the tournament against EWS, the boys made very hard work of this game, going 2-0 down at half time.
As the boys have shown time and time again, they will always fight to come back and this time it was a success, firing in two goals in quick succession before finishing a well worked move off, winning the game 3-2.
The boys played incredibly well in their first tournament together, playing two and winning two. Well done boys!
