The eagerly anticipated Chapter 8 rugby match ends in another win for the College

There was a real buzz around the astro turf and classrooms on Tuesday morning as pockets of boys were talking about the afternoon's Chapter 8 rugby match versus Audenshaw. The boys knew they were a good side and had to be at their best to keep their unbeaten run intact. Audenshaw arrived at 1.30pm on the dot and you could hear from the pavilion their captain shouting encouragement to their boys. The College did their usual routine and went through their warm up with coach Mr Muscatelli. Despite, a few rusty moments due to not playing since last term, it was the home teams' sheer power, effort and determination that won the day. The final score was 5 tries to 2 for the College and the search goes on for challenging opposition.

A Saturday morning of football versus the Kings School Chester

It's 8.00am on a Saturday morning and over 50 pupils are waiting in blazers and ties to board a coach to an away football fixture. This is a familiar picture and last weekend four boys football teams made the trip to the Kings School Chester to participate in fixtures. Whilst this was happening a similar picture was taking place at the College as three boys football teams dressed in blazer and tie were hurriedly walking to the pavilion ready to put on their boots and participate in a match. It's a fantastic scene which symbolises the amount of sporting opportunities available at the school. Last week it was the College that were successful in four of the seven matches with two others ending in a draw. This week will be a similar scene as the College play another block of fixtures versus Ellesmere College and the girls travel to Rydal to play several netball fixtures.

Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 pupils star in the Merseyside Cross Country Championships

Last Saturday, over 20 pupils made the short trip to Arrowe Park, Wirral to participate in the Merseyside Cross Country Championships. Many pupils from other schools were involved, selecting their top runners to participate in this crucial race meeting. Although a little cold, the weather stayed dry, and the pupils took off their blazers and prepared to warm themselves up ready for the task ahead. It was a brilliantly, organised event and the pupils didn't let themselves down performing admirably in damp conditions. It's difficult to talk about individual runners as everyone ran to their very best, but Ethan B and Lexi W from Chapter 7 were the highest placed finishers for the school. Many congratulations to all pupils.

Chapter 7 rugby team win titanic battle versus Audenshaw

On Tuesday afternoon, a group of Chapter 7 pupils were waiting patiently for their teacher, ready to make the Rugby trip to Audenshaw. As always, the pupils were keen to impress, dressed immaculately with shirts tucked in, and ties done up, captain Ethan B, with huge enthusiasm, shouted to his peers this match is a big one, and he wasn't wrong. The match was a belter!! Both teams enjoyed periods of possession and all pupils from each side gave their very best for the school. The final quarter saw Liverpool College leading by 3 tries to 1. Back came Audenshaw with two quick fire tries and with the game looking like ending in a draw Captain Ethan B burst through and with a quick turn of pace the away team were celebrating a brilliant 4-3 win. What a match!!

The Oratory School, Oxfordshire Y10 Football team make a visit to the weekend fixtures

A feast of sport took place last Saturday on the sports fields and astro turf.
 
There were over 35 footballers from Y8 taking on Sefton Schoolboys and Oldham Hulme Grammar School and hockey players from Y7 to Y11 entertaining Cowley from St Helen's. Whilst the Y8s performed admirably on the football pitch, the hockey players enjoyed an unbeaten morning with the hockey stick and ball.
 
Over at Oldham Hulme Grammar School, the treacherous conditions didn't stop the Y7, Y9 and Y10 football teams from an undefeated morning. The Y7s won 6-5, the Y9s drew 4-4 and the Y10s won 3-0 and all players performed admirably.
 
After a victorious morning, the Y10s returned home to play a second football match of the afternoon versus the Oratory School, Oxfordshire and the game turned out to be a belter! Each side enjoyed first half leads before a share of the spoils meant a 2-2 draw. Hospitality was put on for both teams and families enjoyed food and drink in the canteen at the end of the match.
 
A brilliant day of sport for all concerned and pupils have been praised for their excellent behaviour, standard of uniform and appearance and commitment to sport.

An awesome two days of sport for Chapter 7

There is a buzz around the College this morning and lots of sporting chatter from many pupils in Chapter 7.
 
Last Friday and Saturday saw many pupils take to the field and astro turf in rugby, hockey and football. The sports staff have spoken on many occasions during games sessions to pupils about the importance of getting things right off the pitch, such as having the correct kit and equipment, being on time, following instructions first time, being organised. These are key elements which put pupils in a position to win sporting matches and Chapter 7 are doing this brilliantly.
 
Firstly, on Friday the A and B rugby teams made the short trip to St Edwards College on a dry but chilly afternoon. Supported by the 1st XV Rugby Captain, the pupils were quite simply awesome from start to finish and beat St Edwards with renewed grit, power, energy, and determination. On Saturday morning,14 pupils dressed immaculately in blazer and tie, shoes shined were eagerly waiting to make the trip to play football versus St Bede's Manchester. The game was quite simply a belter!! Goals flew in each goal and possession was end to end. In the end the pupils jubilantly celebrated an 8-6 victory. About 15 miles away, the girls hockey team were also in action versus St Bede's College. Text messages were being sent to me by Miss Evans and Miss Pye with the message: this team is brilliant. The team won AGAIN!! and the girls reported on their return that Miss Evans and Miss Pye passionately celebrated with a clench of the fists and a pull of the shirt badge in true Jurgen Klopp style. They are becoming quite a force.
 
Well done to the pupils, staff and sixth form volunteers.
Mr Cook (Director of Sport)
