Year 8 and 10 Football!
Year 8 Football
On Wednesday 25th September students in Year 8 played their first match of the season where they played against Guru Nanek. They did extremely well and won their first game of the season 6 - 2. Our talented students could have easily scored a lot more however, it was their first time playing an 11 a-side match. Student A had scored a hattrick, and remains our top scorer since last year! Student B scored on his debut along with Student C who also scored on his debut as well as assisted with 2 goals. Student D was incredible in the middle of the pitch, winning duals and running box to box, he even managed to get a goal in himself! Student A was our ‘Man of the Match’ with his 3 goals and incredible enthusiasm to press well. Overall, all students had a very successful first game and we are looking forward to more victories this year. Well done Year 8!
Year 10 Football
The year 10 football team continued their form from last year with a dominant 4-1 win over Northwood school. Inspired by the Rosedale goalkeepers rousing speech before the game, Rosedale were in control but found themselves behind with Northwood’s first shot. Rosedale quickly got back into their groove, with a well deserved equaliser coming soon after. The Rosedale 14 with a fine header from a lovely delivery by captain fantastic number 10. Rosedale were soon in front after a wonderful through ball was finished well by the Rosedale 15. Rosedale were now in total control, the 4 and 5 dominant in defence and numerous chances before and after half time. After a number of missed chances from other players, the Rosedale 11 decided to show everyone how it was done. His first goal a fine finish after a quality Rosedale move and the best was saved until last, with a simply unstoppable thunderbolt of a free kick sending the Rosedale players into raptures, and even getting a smile out of Mr Spencer. There was still time for the Rosedale 6 to miss a penalty but it was a resounding win for the Year 10s first game in a new division! well done boys!
