Compete in a competition

Proud of their own and others’ achievements

Represent the school in some way

On Wednesday 27th April, our team played host to Woodbank in the quarter final of the Bury cup.

We knew the match would be a close one as many of our pupils play in the same team at the weekend as some of the Woodbank pupils!

The match was an even contest at the beginning but Christopher rose highest at the back post after a corner from Oliver and thumped his header into the back of the net. 1-0. 

20 minutes later and it was almost half-time –  Woodbank were finishing strongly and also scored a great header from a corner. 1-1. 

After half time Holcombe Brook were using the slope to their advantage and Lauren’s long throws were causing problems. Dylan was asked to go from playing as a defender to a striker and within 5 minutes of this change, he had scored 2 great goals! 3-1. 

Joe hit the post and Holcombe Brook were looking very solid, with Lauren stopping every Woodbank attack – if they did get through the resolute defence then Lucas was on hand to make some amazing saves!

With 5 minutes to go Woodbank went all out to rescue something from the game – they scored with 2 minutes remaining. The referee was about to blow his whistle when Lucas made another incredible stop to keep the score at 3-2!

HOLCOMBE BROOK QUALIFY FOR THE SEMI FINAL!
