NEW STRIP INSPIRES CHS BASKETBALL TEAM

On Friday 30^th November CHS’ new basketball team wore their brand new, black and purple, kit with pride when they successfully defeated St Thomas More 38:25 in the national U16 basketball championships.

The game started slowly with very few points scored in the first quarter. However, by half time CHS had opened up a lead of 12 points thanks to some excellent shooting from Paddy McGovern and Alfie Stone. George Blinkhorn and Luke Richards played a key role in handling the ball and creating fast break opportunities. Mathew Finley, Matthew Jones, Owen Gough, Tom Spender, Ryan Merrill and Bibo Webb (from Year 10) made excellent contributions to secure a memorable victory.

Coach, Mr Hermitt said "The team played well together, working hard to defend and showing some flair on offence.”"
On Friday 12^th October, CHS captain Paddy McGovern gave a dominating performance against Kings School when he scored 29 out of CHS’ 38 points during a 38:21 win. Alfie Stone was the leading rebounder with11 points. Special mention goes to Matt Jones and Luke Richards who provided excellent defence.
