SPORT'S REPORT – 3 October 2012

Hockey
No fixture this week for Hockey, due to the Birmingham Colleges ’ County trials. Let’s hope the lads were successful.

Netball
SSFC’s 1st team travelled to Solihull School. SSFC played extremely well; they came out the stronger team when defending and attacking. They were able to make space for their team mates to make successful passes without Solihull School being able to intercept. SSFC were playing both as a team and individually, and they were all showing determination to win. The final score was 22–16 to SSFC.

SSFC 2nd team travelled to Solihull School too and also played extremely well. When Solihull School attacked and scored, SSFC always got back into the game very quickly, with Faye Richards placing every shot and rebound into the net. It was such a close game, with SSFC down by 4 points early on. However, the sixth form college got back into the game particularly well and ended up losing by just one point. The final score was 13–12 to Solihull School.

Rugby
SSFC were at home to King Edwards Five Ways. Unfortunately SSFC lost 46–0.

Football
SSFC 2nd team travelled away to play Birmingham Metropolitan College. SSFC were leading at half time from an early goal scored by Scott Price. Numerous good saves made from Jake Sayer kept SSFC at ease. A chaotic start to the second half of the game saw SSFC concede two early goals, giving Birmingham Metropolitan the advantage. Scott Price then equalised showing a lot of courage and determination to get to all loose balls in the 6 yard box. SSFC started to perform very sloppy, not playing as team and gave away a penalty. SSFC then scored an own goal, giving Birmingham Metropolitan a 4-2 victory.

Rest of the 2nd team squad played a friendly fixture against Alcester, which was a very competitive game. Phillip Adebiyi scored twice to make it 2-2, but SSFC couldn’t hold for the whole game. They battled for all the loose balls, but all it took was SSFC switching off for the slightest second and Alcester was able to take that advantage and score within the last few minutes, making the final score 3-2 to Alcester.
