Combined U12-U13 team reach Futsal Cup Final

On Tuesday, a combined U12-U13 girls team played a Futsal tournament versus a number of schools within Merseyside at Archbishop Beck Tennis Centre.

The team were put in a group versus hosts Archbishop Beck and Weatherhead High School. The first match versus the hosts was a keenly fought affair with both teams scoring early on, but as Liverpool College got into their stride, they quickly went in front by three goals, and eventually ended up winning 5-4. The second match would determine who topped the group after Weatherhead convincingly beat the hosts. The winner of this match was never in doubt as players of the tournament Anna R (Y8 Butler's) and Isabella H (Y7 School) tore Weatherhead apart with their power and pace. The final score: Liverpool College 5 Weatherhead High School 2.

As the College topped the group they faced All Saints Kirkby in the quarter final. As each player from the squad played their part in pushing the opposition into making mistakes and there was only one winner, despite All Saints scoring a penalty with the final kick of the game. The final score was Liverpool College 4 All Saints Kirkby 2. Onto the semi-final and Liverpool College faced St John Bosco a team they had lost 5-1 earlier on in the term. Liverpool College certainly got their revenge in this match as again Anna R (Y8 Butler’s) and Isabella H (Y7 School) terrorised the opposition into numerous mistakes and the College emerged 4-0 winners.

Liverpool College faced Upton School in the final and this match provided much entertainment despite no goals with the College striking the post near the end. The match went into penalties and still no-one could separate two incredibly talented teams until finally Liverpool College missed in the sudden death shoot out.

What a performance in the tournament from Liverpool College which has provided much encouragement for Girls Football for the remainder of the academic year.

Renewable Energy

Aeronautical Engineer Sophie Orme was welcomed into Liverpool College on Friday to deliver a fascinating talk to pupils in Year 10 and Year 9. Specialising in renewable energy methods, Mrs Orme first contextualised the current environmental problems, explaining global warming, climate change and the reasons for the current climate emergency, including the world population explosion and how energy use has increased at the same exponential rate as GDP/capita leading to increased carbon dioxide and methane emissions – leading to global warming.

Mrs Orme then revealed the proposals by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, October 2018 to reduce the global surface air temperature. She discussed twelve different forms of renewal energy methods and how moving to 100% renewable energy will have immense environmental benefits. Mrs Orne is currently working in Cornwall on a Local Renewable Energy project. The talk certainly demonstrated that we can all make a huge difference.

Y7 Cross Country trio at the Manchester League

Last Sunday, three Y7 pupils competed in the Cross Country Manchester League at Arrowe Park, Wirral. The pupils were up against club runners from Liverpool Harriers, Stockport, Sale and Wirral. A race in tough conditions with the wind blowing against the pupils and on a rain swept morning the trio of Liverpool College runners ran the race to near perfection. Starting off at the back, the pupils slowly made their way up the field to finish in the middle order of some incredibly talented youngsters. The delighted pupils were treated for their efforts with a meal in Liverpool City Centre as a way of celebration.

Well done to:

  • Michael W - Y7 School
  • Jamie W- Y7 School
  • Ekell B - Y7 Brook’s

Cross Country in Birkenhead

Last Saturday, a small group of Key Stage 3 pupils travelled on a chilly morning to Birkenhead to participate in the next round of the Merseyside School Cross Country Competition.

As the fields were incredibly boggy, the pupils ran part of the race on the pathways. A tough competition which fielded between 60 boys and 60 girls ended with the College finishing in the middle order for both boys and girls. The pupils were praised for their excellent manners and behaviour throughout the journey.

This is the College's fifth Cross Country Race this academic year.
