    Yesterday, we welcomed Wootton Primary School for our Year 6 boys first fixture of the season. Split into two teams, the boys represented CCS brilliantly, demonstrating outstanding resilience and teamwork throughout. Both fixtures against Wootton were tightly contested, with each game going into half-time at 0–0 - a testament to the focus and determination shown by all players. As the second half progressed and tiredness set in, the matches began to open up. CCS Team 1 battled hard, but were unfortunate to fall to a 3–0 defeat. Meanwhile, CCS Team 2 dug deep and surged forward, securing a well-earned 2–1 victory thanks to superb goals from Frankie and Jude. A fantastic effort from everyone involved. Well done, boys!

    South Northants League Netball Round-Up! Year 8: CCS 14 – 8 DSLV A fantastic home performance from our Year 8s as they took on DSLV! CCS started well, with L Ducksbury and E Clewett linking up brilliantly in the circle and showing real shooting precision. Throughout the whole game, M Southworth and F White were outstanding, moving the ball smoothly from defence to attack, while R Eze impressed on her debut. S Haines' accurate passing kept the momentum going. In the second half, CCS maintained control, with M Southworth making key interceptions and E Clewett finishing superbly. Final Score: CCS 14 – 8 DSLV Players' Player: E Clewett Manager's Players: M Southworth & F White Year 9: CCS 13 – 13 DSLV An incredibly competitive match for our Year 9 team, with very strong performances from the shooting team. It was goal for goal right until the end! Great determination and teamwork throughout. Manager's Player: A Hunt Well done to both teams – excellent effort and sportsmanship all round! #TeamCCS #Netball #SouthNorthantsLeague
