Well Done!

Congratulations to the Wombwell High School year 10 football squad who reached the final of the Barnsley Schools Cup for the third year running. Unfortunately the team lost 1-0 to Shafton ALC in the final but all the Wombwell lads were a credit to themselves and the school in all the games played this year.

Well Done Everyone!

It was a compelling end to end game.

The first half ended 2-2, although Holgate showed more dominance on the ball. Luis Wardle struck an excellent long range effort, whilst Callum Whelan slotted a rightly awarded penalty.

The second half was somewhat of a stalemate, with Wombwell looking the more impressive. The real chances came in the last 10 minutes where Wombwell penetrated, only to be denied once by a goal-line intervention by a keeper, and the second time by a goal mouth scrap that included three on target shots.

With penalties looming Holgate surged into the Wombwell box. A pass fed their impressive striker who poked the ball into the back of the net. With a minute remaining Wombwell managed one final assault, however this ended in vain. Final Score 2-3.

The boys played well, and did Wombwell proud. Many of the players fought tirelessly for the ball. Of specific note were Aiden White (man of the match) for holding together the central defence and Luis Wardle for pursuing every ball and creating many of the opportunities.

It is a first defeat for this side, so no doubt a huge disappointment. They did well and on the day it was fate not skill that won over. Next year, in the new strip, I’m sure they’ll come bouncing back.

The March Data Collection for Year 11 students identified the top ten students for Outstanding Effort as Louis Bailey, Georgia Barker, Francesca Bird, Daniel Colville, Aaron Dean, Joshua Finlay, Olivia Freeman, Chloe Frid, Nicola Guest, Ashleigh Hartshorne, Laura Hawksworth, Megan Heathcote, Joshua Hinds, Rebecca Hogarth, Caitlain Horan, Beth Johnson, Shannon Jones, Marcus Law, Daniel Mackley, Kirsty McBride, Kathryn Pearce, Samantha Pearce, Fraser Price, Bethany Rowson, Laura Schofield, Amaal Sharif, Lauren Smith and Jessica Whiting.

They should be particularly proud as all 28 students were joint first achieving effort grades of ‘excellent’ in every subject.

We had some awesome food prepared and delivered today, 2 amazing BBQ platters, very posh fish and chips, a mexican extravaganza and a jamaican goat curry with all the trimmings. We have a very worthy winner – the master chef title 2012 went to Hannah Hudson-Lee – her unique slant on a rabbit pie surprised everyone, it looked fabulous and tasted even better. Many congratulations!
