RUGBY WEEK 1- 13th November

Year 7’s Thrash Woodhouse in Opening Game

Tonight (13^th November) Congleton High School’s year 7’s played a rugby match against Woodhouse Middle School. Congleton started off with a strong start Harper Whitehead scoring the first try of the game by weaving through the opposition until he reached the try line. The Congleton team were dominating with their skilful running and passing. By the end of the first half Congleton were in the lead 6 tries to 0. The tries scored by Harper Whitehead, Tom Vale (the captain), Owen Lees, Michal Howell and Josh Clues.

In the second half Woodhouse stormed through the Congleton defence to score. A great display of organisation scored them their first try. As the game continued Congleton maintained their lead mostly due to their intense running skills and evasiveness; plus their ball handling and line play. Towards the end of the competitive game Woodhouse made a final attempt to penetrate Congleton’s defence but couldn’t make it to the line before the end of the game. The final score was 11 tries to 1. Well done to the whole team!!!

Year 8 Also Win Comfortably

Although the year 8’s may not have won by as big a margin they also recorded a comfortable 17-5 win over Woodhouse with a great performance to match.
