PE Round Up
There have been a few changes to the fixtures this week with some now being delayed to after October Half-Term.
Year 7 Boys Football vs The Highfield School
Year 7 Boys were invited to go and play an 11v11 friendly at The Highfield School in Letchworth, North Hertfordshire. The Highfield School have an excellent pedigree of success in the challenging North Herts District League and always produce strong competitive teams. Townsend Year 7 Boys were looking forward to the game, and undeterred by the prospect of a little rain were keen to challenge themselves. Brought into the side for this fixture were Isaac M and Jacob N.
Townsend were a little slow to get going and were 2 goals down in the first 10 minutes despite some heroic defending from our new centre back pairing of Isaac M and Jacob N. However, Townsend rallied and with Trey B-L getting more of the ball in centre midfield the team began to look threatening. A wonderful Crossfield pass from Sid M-C to his opposing winger, Captain Josh N finally saw another first time pass into the pass of Dario P, who finished with confidence across the goalkeeper for a deserved goal to make the score 2-1 at half time.
Changes from both teams at half time saw the game return to more of a congested battle in midfield until a sudden break from Highfield saw them get a third. Once again Townsend rallied and began to play better football with quicker passing and fewer touches. Issac L, who had been doing a sterling job in midfield played a quick ball through to Nathan P, picked up the pass just inside their half and showed wonderful control when running at speed with the ball before finishing with aplomb into the top corner to make the game 3-2. Despite threatening for an equaliser it was the Highfield school who scored next with a long range strike past Mason H in goal before a last kick of the game penalty for handball saw the game finish 5-2. Scoreline slightly flattered the Highfield School as this was another very competitive game for the Year 7 boys that with a little quicker passing and better scanning of players in space could have seen a different outcome.
