On Tuesday, the Chapter 8 boys hockey team played their second match of the term versus St Margaret's. It's fantastic to see the return of boys hockey at the College and the boys were amazing. They have portrayed a fantastic attitude throughout both matches and are always keen to impress. We are hoping to build on boys hockey next term.
Last Thursday, St Edwards College made the short trip to play the Chapter 8 football team. The match was played on a very sunny afternoon and it turned out to be a belter! St Edwards team was full of talented individuals and put on a fighting display, determined to beat our Chapter 8 team. After an entertaining goalless first half, the second half was full of goals and it was St Edwards who took the lead from a corner. Back came the home team and a quick turn outside the penalty area from captain Erdis R created space to fire home from the tightest of angles. The second shortly followed when Erdis R fed Marco B from outside the area and he thumped the ball into the top corner. It was at this stage the home team began to take complete domination and Khalil M broke free from the left hand side, cut in and fired home number 3. This was a huge test for the home team and they passed with flying colours.

The boarders requested more walks for their weekend activity. They went to Hale Lighthouse on Saturday 5 March. It was a lovely day for a walk along the River Mersey. They also saw the statue of John Middleton, the 'Childe of Hale'. John was reported to be 9 feet 3 inches tall. Legend tells that he slept with his feet out of the window of his small house.
