Years 8, 10 and 11 were all in action on Thursday 8^th November against Malbank. Up first were year 11 who had three year 10’s playing, Charlotte Ingle, Emily Hamand and goalkeeper Emma Ingle. The first half saw no goals with the best chance falling to CHS. It came from Ella Baskerville’s penalty corner which she passed too Nina Bennet, who advanced into the area before taking a shot which was deflected. CHS couldn’t get the ball through the Malbank defenders. Charlotte Ingle eventually got it through the defence with her shot but put it wide of the post by a few yards. Neither of the goalies had to make a save in the first half. However, minutes into the second half, saw what the first half was missing a goal but unfortunately it went to the away side. Malbank advanced into CHS’ half and the defence plus Emma Ingle, in goal, couldn’t keep it out. It wasn’t long until Chloe Turner drew the scores level. Nina Bennet’s deflected shot fell into the path of Turner who placed it between Malbank’s two defenders and keeper into the net. From this point on CHS put Malbank on the back foot especially in their defensive third. The match finished 1-1.

Next onto the pitch were year 10. Robyn Houston made the most of a mistake by Malbank’s goalkeeper slotting home from a couple of metres out. It was soon 2-0 when Louise Forster drilled a low shot into the bottom corner from around 10 metres out. Malbank then drew one back after a mistake from the CHS keeper but Emma Ingle made it 3-1 after she successfully found teh back of the net with her powerful shot. After the restart, Emma Ingle scored another after she swivelled and had her shot went beyond the Malbank keeper into the far corner.
