Students Teach Staff
How It Is Done
Congleton
High School’s third annual table tennis competition got underway this week with
the students teaching the staff how it is done.
Six members of
staff were knocked out early on. PE teacher, Mr Naylor was beaten 16-14 by year
11 student Marcus Chadwick in what was a close contest. Mr Warren fell to a
10-15 defeat to Josh Brindley of year 9 and Finley Jackson defeated PE teacher
Mrs Henderson 15-11. Science teacher Mr Holmes suffered a defeat against Reece
Clowes with Mr Cross also being knocked out by Conor Docherty 10-15. George
Sheard and George Archer both progressed at the expensive of Mr French and Mrs
Smith respectively.
There was no
such defeat for last year’s runner-up and the inaugural CHS table tennis champion,
Mr de Souza who strolled through the opening rounds winning 15-2 against both
Josef Allen and Matthew Henshall.
The
defending champion is still going strong in the competition with James Garside
beating debutant, Sam Bilsborough 15-4 and 2013 semi-finalist, Jamie Casey 15-6
in round three. James will play either Mr Franklin or Reece Clowes in the next
round. Mr Franklin narrowly beat Matt Gillam 18-16 in round two to set up the tie
with Reece Clowes, who has beaten Thomas Worthy and Mr Holmes so far in the
competition.
A player who
James Garside could meet in the competition’s semi-final stage could be the
semi-finalist from last year, IT technician Mr Naylor who has beaten Kieran
Turner 15-3 and Logan Clowes 15-6. He will face either year 11 student, George
Archer or Mr Donnelly/Tom Evans in the next round.
