Football
1st team vs Henley College, Coventry
The Sixth Form College, Solihull’s team travelled to
Henley College, Coventry for their first game of the season. SFCS believed that
this was going to be a tense occasion and also a tough one for them as the College
has never been able to beat Henley at their ground over the past 5 years. Henley started the game very positively by breaking the deadlock very soon on into the game. The game started to settle down with the Sixth Form on track, battling for the ball, getting players more involved, and came close to equalising with shots from Joe Clarke and Matt Stanley. However, the Henley goalkeeper was well situated to keep his team in the lead up to half time.
Early into the second half, Henley came back out stronger with very quick play, which lead to them scoring another two goals but SFCS was still battling for the ball. With the score 3-0 to Henley this meant that the Sixth Form needed to up their game; they changed their formation and started to play very well, with a couple of strong efforts coming close.
Finally the deadlock was broken with a superb effort by Year 12 student Ben Stuart, who placed his effort into the bottom corner of the goal. As soon as that goal came, SFCS turned into a different team, using all their last minute energy up, attacking the ball consistently, with shot after shot, but it was just too late. The whistle was blown and the final score was 3-1 to Henley College.
Congratulation to Year 12 Ben Sutton, who played very well in with the Year 13’s, and who was awarded Man of the Match.
Basketball
SFCS vs Worcester College
The Sixth Form College, Solihull’s team travelled to
Worcester College for their first game of the season. The final score was 74-78
to Worcester College, which shows it was a very close game. SFCS were 20 points
behind at one stage, but got back into the game very quickly and stronger to trail
by only 4 points by the end of the game. It was a very confident first game
from SFCS.Netball
1st team (Year 13) vs Alcester
SFCS were at home for their first game of the season, which
set the players in a comfortable position. The Sixth Form played very well
around the court, using the space effectively and involving all the players. GS
(Goal shooter) Frankie Rudge and GA (Goal Attacker) Sophie Wills played
outstandingly well, placing every chance they had into the net. It was really
good to see SFCS playing as a team for the first time altogether and they were
a superior team. Alcester was also a strong and competitive team, who didn’t
give up. They defended really well and they were quick to get the ball to other
end of the court. It was a very close game in ability wise, and both team
played exceptionally well. The final
score was 29-11 to SFCS. 2nd team (Year 12) vs Alcester
As it was SFCS 2nd team’s first game of the season, the Sixth Form looked very nervous, but when they started to play, they really shone. However, Alcester just kept coming back strongly. SFCS didn’t give up; they kept going until the whistle was blown. With it being SFCS’s first game, it really showed ability throughout the side and demonstrates that it is only early days for the team and that development will take time. Unfortunately the final score was 25-8 to Alcester.
Rugby
SFCS vs Old Swinford
SFCS went away to play Swinford. The 1st team
played exceptionally well as it was their first game of the season all playing
as a team and they played very confidently to get a score line of 31- 10, a brilliant
score for the first game.
SFCS’s 2nd team played very well too, for
their first game of the season. The final score was 22 – 17. So a great start
for both rugby teams.
Hockey
SFCS vs Solihull School
SFCS travelled to Solihull School for their first game
of the season, and although they lost 7-0, it was their first game as a team
and the lads played very well together. The Sixth Form team is made up of a
mixture of some club and no club players, therefore this was a great
achievement as there are different abilities throughout the team, but it’s
still early days. A big mention goes to Harry Reynolds, who took on Captain’s
role and carried this out very well.
