Year 10 Boys and Under 15 Girls
Progress in Style
The cup hopes of the school were left on the year 10 boys and the
under 15 girls this week when they were the only two football teams from CHS
still in the ESFA Playstation Schools’ Cup.
First it was the under 15 girls who went head-to-head with
Wade Deacon High School on Monday afternoon. The girls have been outstanding in
the previous rounds scoring 12 goals (10 of those in the last round against Urmston
Grammar) whilst not conceding a single goal. This was going to be one of CHS’
toughest tests due to the game being played on a 3G surface something CHS weren’t
used to. CHS went into the break leading 2-1 thanks to goals from Zoe Tweats
and Lucy Wright. However, the CHS defence wouldn’t be recording a clean sheet
for the first time in the cup. Lucy Wright then added her second goal of the
game and Amy Rodgers then added Congleton’s fourth. The final score ended 4-2
to CHS which see’s them progress into the last 16 in the country. CHS sustained
a few injuries in the match but I haven’t heard how serious they are and the
team are hoping they will be back in time for the tie away at Mirfield Free
Grammar School in the next round.
Tonight (Thursday 28th
November) the year 10 football team were hoping to keep their cup dream’s alive
against Charlton School in the last 64 in the country. CHS produced a 5-star
performance which saw them emphatic 5-0 victors. Morgan Bratt and Conor Docherty
gave CHS a 2-0 lead at half time. Goals after the break from Marcus Chadwick
and a brace from Matt Gilham, who returned to the side, sealed the 5-0 victory
and a place in the last 32 in the country. They will now play at either
Eckington School or Failbroome Academy with the prize a place nearer the final.
We wish both teams all the best ahead of those huge games.
