FOOTBALL WEEK 5- 31st October and 1st November

YEAR 7 SING“WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS” WHILST YEAR 10 ALSO WIN*

Congratulations to year 7 who have won CHS’ first silverware of the year after they beat Shavington and Alsager this week, to win the district champions after remaining unbeaten all season. Wednesday 31^st October saw year 7 head to Shavington. They returned knowing that a win the day after would see them winning the district champions thanks to goals from Finlay Jackson, Harry Gregg and Harry Pointon as well as a superb performance from Josh Brinley who received the man of the match award. So on Thursday 1^st November Mr De Souza’s team needed a win to secure the district champions title. If CHS wanted to lift the trophy they would have to come from behind to win after Josh Robertson, was slow to come off his line when Alsager broke through CHS’ back four before Alsager put it past Robertson into his net. Things were looking better when Josh Brinley took the responsibility of making it 1-1, after CHS strung together a few passes on the edge of the area. However, CHS went into the crucial half-time point leading after Logan Clowes was played through and put it beyond the Alsager keeper. On the other side of half-time Finlay Jackson was tripped inside the area and hit the deck that led to the referee blowing his whistle and pointing to the penalty spot. Mr De Souza gave Josh Brinley the nod, to step up and make it 3-1 but Brinley put the ball the wrong side of the post. Brinley then made up for his miss when he put the ball past the Alsager keeper for the second time. It was soon 4-1 when a great tackle from one of Alsager’s defenders, denied Harry Pointon a clear shot at goal, but the ball only went as far as Finlay Jackson, on the edge of the area who guided it into the top corner. The result meant that year 7 are the district champions and remain unbeaten this season. After the game Mr de Souza said “I want to praise the entire squad as all of them have contributed to our success.” The success of the year 7 has also made an impact on the number of students who go to training regularly, as usually a remarkable 45 year 7’s have been attending.  The PE department are expecting a lot more silverware come the end of the year.

Year 10 also won against Alsager on Thursday thanks to Adam McHale, Liam Evans and a brace from Sam Lynn.
