Represent the school in some way

The 5-1 victory does not tell the whole story of what was a tense and tight game in parts.

Both teams played some excellent football in the first ten minutes with neither goalkeeper really being tested.

Chirstopher Jenkins, who has clearly started the season with a new pair of shooting boots, found himself free and bearing down on goal. As he always does, he put his head down and shot low and hard, beating the keeper with ease. 1-0 to Team HB. High tens all round!

Walshaw replied soon after and Arron was powerless to stop what was a powerful shot  1-1.

Just before half time, Christopher had another effort which was blocked, but Lucas made no mistake with the rebound, curling a sublime effort into the top corner! 2-1.

Half Time

Mr West made some astute changes noticing that Walshaw’s danger man had to be stopped. Dylan and James were set this task and he was certainly kept quiet!

Three more goals followed in the second half (aided by the downhill slop perhaps!) All three were crisp, low, right footed drives by Dylan, Oliver and Christopher! 5-1!

The latest from the sports desk is a potential derby versus Woodbank after the half term on Wednesday.

Well done to all the boys and thank you to the staff and parents for their support.
