FOOTBALL UPPER SCHOOL: AUTUMN HALF TERM September to October

FOOTBALL: AUTUMN HALF TERM

(SEPTEMBER TO OCTOBER)

UPPER SCHOOL

The first half term at CHS has come to an end and here are all the results along with the manager’s thoughts on the upper school this half-term.

 

Year 10-

Won 10-1 v Eaton Bank
Won 4-1 v Reddish Vale (Cup)
Won 4-2 v Shavington
Lost 5-3 v All Hallows (Cup)

Manager Mr Baxendale’s thoughts on what has been a positive start in the league and positive performances in the cup. “Our passing, movement and application have been outstanding in all of our games this half-term. The boys have shown great composure on the ball, passed it quickly and kept the ball moving extremely fluidly and well. Special mention to Kieron Wilton, Lewis Dunn, Brian Barton and Liam Evans for being consistently excellent in every game they've played. There have also been some notable fantastic performances in games by Sam Lynn, Hallam Carslake, Max Berkeley, Adam Mchale and Danny Ihoya.”

So what do year 10 need to improve on next half-term? “Although we have scored many goals so far (14 in the first 2 games) we must be much more clinical in front of goal as we have wasted many easy chances in recent games. We have dominated possession and chances in every game, but have not ensured that we have closed out the game more comfortably. We have conceded quite a few soft goals due to a lack of concentration, silly individual mistakes and poor positioning caused by having too many players ahead of the ball, when we should be controlling the game. If we can erase these mistakes then I'm sure the boys will do brilliantly during the rest of the season.”

 Year 11-

Won 6-2 v Eaton Bank

Won 3-2 v Trinity (Cup)
Won 4-0 v Shavington
Lost 2-1 v Wolstanton (Cup)

Manager Mr Naylor says “The year 11 team have made a really positive start to the season. They have had a good run in the English Schools Cup and are undefeated in the South Cheshire League.”

“Special mentions should go to Joey Griffiths who is now living up to the potential he had shown as a younger student. Also a mention too captain Tom Hampton. Tom has lead by example throughout the season so far. He has been a rock in the centre of defence and has chipped in with some important goals.”
