U9 Football

The u9’s football team faced Newchurch at home in a quarter final last Thursday. It was the first game in the new kit kindly sponsored by Mr Buckett from TL Electrical.
It started well for Freshwater & Yarmouth passing the ball nicely and testing the Newchurch defence, however it was clear to see the Newchurch were a very strong team. They attacked the home team constantly and sored some excellent goals. A 4-0 half time lead for Newchurch meant a tough task for our U9’s but they kept trying their best and
Newchurch had to play well to score one more in the second half. This season the U9’s team have played really well and are improving all the time. Special thanks go to Pete Millar for his help with the after school club and running the matches.

Football Round Up

Freshwater and Yarmouth U11’s had a football fixture with St Saviours this week in a league fixture. In very testing conditions the team performed very well in the first half,
passing the ball nicely through the team and with the wind behind having plenty of shots on target.
The St Saviours goalkeeper made several saves to keep the Freshwater and Yarmouth team at bay, it was 0-0 at the break. In the second half the Freshwater and Yarmouth team continued to dominate the match creating many chances and scoring twice with Olly providing the goals. With football fixtures continuing after half term there are plenty more matches to play in cup and league.

Football Roundup

The U11s football team travelled the short distance to Shalfleet last Wednesday for their first league fixture. In goal, making his debut was Harry, swapping the position with Will who went into midfield for this match. Early on in the match it was clear that Shalfleet had a strong team this year and the team were having to defend their goal constantly. An early goal for Shalfleet was followed by several other shots all kept out by Harry’s saves. Harry was the team’s man of the match for his many stops in the goal. 1-0 down at half time. The team did have chances to score an equaliser, forcing several corners too. Two more goals came for Shalfleet however before Joey scored the goal of the game to make the final score 3-1. Shalfleet were presented with the new Federation Cup for their win.
Well done everyone!

Tag Rugby Roundup

School Games Awards

We are delighted to announce that we, SHALFLEET CE PRIMARY SCHOOL, have achieved the School Games Platinum Award for the 2022/23 academic year. The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success. We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible. As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.

On Wednesday 28th September the football season began for Yarmouth and Freshwater U11s. The competition is the newly named Pokémon Cup in which we were to play Brighstone and Niton on the same afternoon. The matches were played at Brighstone and it was the home team we were up against first. Kicking down the hill in the first half there were plenty of chances for Yarmouth and Freshwater but the only goal came from Jacob to lead 1-0 at half time. The second half, although it was up the slope brought four more goals including strikes from Joey and Olly, the game ending with a great result of 5-0.

The second match was against Niton and it was a similar story with Yarmouth and Freshwater having much more of the ball and chances and leading 1-0 at half time. Despite having most of the second half another goal didn’t come and Niton snatched a late equaliser and the game ended 0-0. This result meant whoever would go through to finals day would depend on if Niton could beat Brighstone and also by how many….that match ended 2-0 to Niton so Yarmouth and Freshwater go through to finals day. A great start to the season!

Cricket Competition

On Wednesday 14th June Freshwater & Yarmouth U11’s was involved in a cricket competition at Lanesend Primary School.

The last match saw us take on St Saviours who had already won their first two matches. Batting first, Freshwater & Yarmouth set a score that was to prove competitive, the team bowled really well and against a good team were only defeated by 5 runs.
A great afternoon in the sun where all teams had fun.

Eveline started tackling her team & forgot about our team. Then Holycross let us in again but they scored a goal, & another, & another until they got 6 – Nil. So we lost!!!!!

Yarmouth v Arreton

Our Yarmouth year 5 and 6 football team went to Newchurch to play Arreton.

We played badly in the first half, giving the away possession in dangerous areas and letting them get through our defence, we tried to defend until a Arreton player got in behind and drew Malachi out, unfortunately we didn’t mark the other players very well and the player passed to one side and Arreton got the first goal of the match. Near to half time another Arreton attack gave them the chance to add to their lead and Arreton scored again. In the second half we dominated the play and a low cross played into the box by Ollie caused an Arreton player to chip their own goalkeeper into the goal. But we couldn’t equalize and with a final shot, the match ended at 2-1. Though a good effort by the team.

Team: Ollie, Molly, Archie, Ronnie, Malachi, Esme, Lukas

Special thanks to Molly and Esme for stepping in at the last minute.

The Under 9 girls played their first game on Wednesday afternoon against Holy Cross. The game was fairly even to start with, Summer making a good save and the the Holy Cross keeper just saving from Olivia. However, Holy Cross’ star player then started to run the game. She scored 4 goals and set 1 up and despite their best efforts the girls couldn’t get any back. Maddie, Summer and Nina all made some great saves during their stints in goal and the girls didn’t give up and had a smile on their faces throughout.
