A tight encounter ends in success for the Chapter 8 football team versus Blue Coat

Last Friday, the Chapter 8 football team made the short trip to play Blue Coat School on a cold but sunny afternoon. Liverpool College started brightly and from a short back pass were gifted the chance of the opener when the ball fell to Kingston AG but the shot was brilliantly saved by the Blue Coat goalkeeper. This was the story of the match as despite periods of possession by Blue Coat it was the away team that created chances but either the final ball let them down or the goalkeeper came to the home team's rescue. As the game drifted into the final ten-minutes Liverpool College received a corner and captain Erdis R thundered in a header towards goal and despite attempts to keep the ball out of the net Liverpool College scored the goal which eventually won them the game.
 
This was Chapter 8s seventh football match this academic year winning 6 and drawing 1. On Monday, the team travel to Neston High School in the fourth round of the ESFA Cup.

Sale Sharks first team player Nye Thomas OL returns to the College for inspirational training session

On Thursday, we were delighted to welcome back to the school Sale Sharks first team player Nye Thomas and two Sale Sharks Academy Coaches to train our current rugby 1st XV. The students were delighted and inspired to be trained by the coaches and left feeling motivated and with a new sense of belief going into the remainder of the season. It's a testament to 1st XV Coach Mr Heeley that despite injuries at key points of the season the team are becoming stronger each week and by next academic year those experiences will give the team the inspiration to perform and progress in future school tournaments.

11 miles for 11 days

The boarders have raised an amazing £172 for the Royal British Legion. They walked 1 mile a day for 11 days and parents sponsored them £11 (if not more). 

Thank you to everyone who donated and to the boarders for taking part in the walks for charity.

Awesome Walls

On Saturday, the boarders spent the afternoon at Awesome Walls, Rock Climbing. It was great to see the encouragement, smiles and hear the laughter of the students as they tired to climb the wall.

Rock climbing is a great way to keep fit and gives you that sense of accomplishment and the thrill of adrenaline that not many activities can provide.
