CCS welcomed Pitsford for a Sixth Form netball friendly in the warmth of the Sports Hall.  It was a really lovely match with some fabulous netball being played and some great shooting by both teams.

Thanks to Y Priest (Y11) and E Swaffer, I Robertson and H Morris (all Year 10’s) who played up to help the team out after some of the sixth formers were unable to play last night at the last minute.  C Carver was amazing in defence and T Knox fed well into the circle.  As always R Mistry and L Turner gave 100% to this lovely team.

Final score - CCS 16 – 19 Pitsford

Player of the Match R Mistry

U14 County Netball Cup

CCS attended the County Netball Cup after qualifying by being runners-up in the Netball Plate on 22^nd October.   The tournament was played at the fantastic venue of Oundle School where the facilities and conditions were superb.

The CCS team were just brilliant and played some fabulous netball and secured 2 wins and narrowly lost another game.

The results were as follows:

Quinton 4 – 3 CCS Player of the Match P Morris

KBA 8 - 9 CCS Player of the match M Moden-Warner

CCS 4 – 10 Bishop Player of the match L Hancock and L Gabrioli

CCS 1 – 17 Sponne Player of the Match L Gabrioli

CCS 6 – 4 Wellingborough Player of the Match P Morris

CCS 2 – 15 Oundle Player of the Match L Hancock

All the girls played well and rotated the positions for the benefit of the Team. 

Player of the Tournament for consistently good netball was L Hancock

The 3 CCS netball teams travelled to The Parker Academy for the League Netball matches.  

The Year 7 Team played really well and convincingly won their match.   Special mention to Captain M Southworth who dominated the circle and E Clewitt, deservedly got Player of the Match for wonderful shooting.

The Year 8 team had a tough match against a strong Parker team.  L Tipping played really well in the circle and was voted Player of the Match and M Gee and J Aluru defended really well

The Year 10 team had a very close match as The Parker Academy had some very strong players in their team.  However, I Robertson battled well and along with A Agyei who were outstanding in the centre court, CCS managed to win the last quarter to win the game.   E Swaffer played well at GD and GA and deserved her Player of the Match award.

Well done to the CCS teams for some great netball!

It was a great match to watch and to see how much the boys have improved over the few training sessions we've had.

The boys started off strong, with Bobby scoring within the first few minutes, which boosted their spirits. Unfortunately, the score was quickly equalised. It was clear that this was the boys' first match, and there were some new faces in the team (which was good to see). The boys' heads went down, but after a chat at half-time, they came out fighting (not literally, lol) and managed to score a try, with Cristian ploughing his way over the line. In the last ten minutes of the match, the boys took full control, though it was a shame they couldn't quite cross the line again.

Needless to say, it was a hard-fought match, but the boys gave it their all. I'm really pleased we managed to get a team together, and the way they played was brilliant. 

Man of the Match went to O Dobson for his never-give-up attitude and constant communication, helping get people into position.

The Parker Academy 35 - 10 CCS
