After a successful season in Year 8, the now Year 9 football team kicked off their season with a national cup fixture at home against Weavers Academy on Tuesday 3 October.

CCS made a brilliant start, going 2-0 up quickly after the game started via goals from T. Goodman and C. Rosetti. Weavers hit back and scored two quickfire goals in return to take the game back to a draw. Undeterred by the setback, CCS pushed on and made it 4-2 at half-time after another goal from C. Rosetti and a great header from J. Fokou.

Weavers hit back immediately after the break to make it 4-3 and to make the game tight once again. CCS then hit their stride and scored four more goals before the final whistle with two further goals from C. Rosetti, J. Fokou and H. Mawer. Some resolute defending from the whole team including R. Southworth and O. McCarthy kept the Weavers score to 3.

The boys now progress into the next round to be played against Moulton school.
