Football

SSFC 1st team vs N.E Worcestershire College

N.E Worcestershire College travelled to SSFC. It was very competitive all the way through, with a goal from Joe Clarke to open the score in the Sixth Form’s favour. N.E Worcestershire came back to equalise. This was a very close game; it could have gone to either team and both teams played equally well. The final score was 1-1.

SSFC 2nd team vs Birmingham Metropolitan College

SSFC travelled away to Birmingham Metropolitan College for their first game of the season. SSFC went behind in the first 5 minutes, but managed to get back into the game very quickly by scoring two lightning goals by Matt Pemberton and Ben Stuart. Birmingham Metropolitan equalised just before half time, but missed chances in the second half. However, it was only a matter time until Birmingham Metropolitan took the lead and scored again just before full time, to go onto to win 4-2.

Congratulations to Keelan Reilly, who was awarded Man of the Match. 

Hockey

The first men’s British College’s league game was against Hereford Sixth Form College Although the team lost 4-3, the team’s performance was consistent and the lads stayed positive throughout.

Andy Newman was awarded Man of the Match for his exceptional play and for the hatrick he scored.

Basketball

SSFC vs Warwickshire College

The first quarter was close, with the score being 20-23 to Warwickshire. The second quarter was also very close with Warwickshire out-scoring SFCS 12-14 to make it 32-37 to the visitors.

In the third quarter, Warwickshire seemed to come out stronger, with the score 13-22 to Warwickshire in that period; 45-59 overall.

The fourth quarter went exceptionally well for both teams, and was a well-played quarter as SFCS evened up the scoring 18-18. Nonetheless, it was too little too late and the final score was 73-63 to Warwickshire College.

Netball

Due to the bad weather conditions, their game against King Edward’s Stourbridge had to be cancelled. This game will be re-arranged for later on in the season.
