Fantastic Hockey Teams Just Miss Out on Clean Sweep at St Edward’s College

If you ever have a few hours to spare on a Saturday morning then check out this academic year’s Liverpool College Hockey Teams.

The teams are flowing with confidence and energy under the guidance of coaches Ms Arnold and Ms McLindon - this was once again evident on Saturday morning at St Edward’s College, as our U15, U14, U13 and U12's were in action. There is a buzz of excitement around the Hockey pitch from Liverpool College staff and parents as the pupils discuss tactics and put on their hockey gear in readiness to do battle, every pupil has their part to play and all play to their maximum effort level.

In this week's dominant displays versus St Edward’s, in which the College won three out of four matches, the names to mention are the unsung heroes who provide much steeliness to the backline. U15 player Kate B, U14 player Abigail A, U13 player Lucy N, and U12 player Ella D – coaching staff reported that they were all amazing.

The triumphant Hockey teams are ready to move on to their next battle.

Early Success for Liverpool College Sports Teams

The start of the academic year saw a slightly different approach to games sessions and after school activities for the pupils of Liverpool College.

After careful analysis and consultation amongst coaching staff, pupils were put into groups for each games session. This gives the pupils the opportunity to develop in a particular sport where they have been identified as having a strength. After school activities have enabled pupils to be part of a regular training schedule on a Monday afternoon and throughout the week pupils have participated in the additional sports of Gaelic Football and Girls Rugby.

As the foundations have been laid, the rewards have seen the 1st Rugby team secure impressive wins versus St Edwards College, Lymm High School and Cheadle Hulme School. The girls have recorded impressive Hockey and Netball results versus St Edwards College, Cowley International College and QEGS Blackburn.

Hockey Teams Unbeaten in Manchester

On Saturday, three Liverpool College Hockey teams boarded an early morning coach for the trip to St Bede's College Manchester. As the pupils and staff arrived, the sun was shining and the stage was set for three entertaining matches. First up were the U16's which fielded many U14 players and the match didn't disappoint. Straight from the start, the College didn't let their young age get in the way of their opponents, taking the battle to them, and despite twice taking the lead through Libby H and Emily J and dominating from long periods, the College had to settle for an entertaining 2-2 draw.

There is a lot of talk amongst teaching and coaching staff at LC about how good the U14 team has been this academic year, and this talk is the same for the U13 team and after two wins already under their belt, the U13's convincingly won again, this time 6-0 with Annabel A and Mia P in dominant form at the front and Reese M providing much steeliness to the backline.

Finally it was the turn of the U12's and they didn't disappoint securing their first win of the academic year through second half goals from Amy P and a double from Christina W. The U12's were in such dominant form that goalkeeper Hannah S didn't have to make a save throughout the entire match.

A Week of Charity House Runs

Throughout the last week of half term, each year group participated in a house run for charity around Sefton Park during their Games lesson. Whilst pupils made a donation to charities such as Cystic Fibrosis, Redholme Memory Care Home and the local Foodbank collection, the sun shone down throughout the week as pupils made the walk to the park. The behaviour of pupils was impressive as they participated in some competitive races.

The results were as follows:

• Year 7 - George W (School) and Anna R (Butler’s)
• Year 8 - Ethan D (Selwyn’s) and Megan M (Howard’s)
• Year 9 - Desmond M (Brook’s) and Libby H (Howson’s)
• Year 10 - Idris S (Howson’s) and Gabby E (Brook’s)
• Year 11 - Ruari W (Howson’s) and Madison W (Howard’s) Emily J (Butler’s) (joint first)
• Sixth Form - Luke R (Brook’s) and Lydia W (Selwyn’s)

Thank you to Mr Cook (Sports Co-ordinator) and the House teams for organising these events.

U12 Netball Team Encouraging Start to the Year

The U12 Netball team have been in in good form at the start of this academic year. There have been regular sessions during the games periods and after school training sessions to enable the College to compete against the very best in the North West.

Despite a midweek defeat versus Formby High School, the College bounced back with successive wins versus QEGS Blackburn and Kingsmead School. There was also success  earlier in the term versus Scarisbrick Hall School which has helped the U12's gain a lot of confidence ready for the Liverpool Netball League in the second half of the term. 

There have been many pupils who have stood out with Captain Anna R (Butler's) leading from the front, supported by Zara M (School) who has impressed many staff and coaches with her consistent determination and effort levels. A great start to the Netball term.
