Year 7 Football

With the school football season coming towards an end, the Year7 boys can look back and reflect on a great 1^st year representing Winston. Their 1^st game on 11th Oct was promising to watch as the boys won 8-1 in the 2^nd round of the National Cup. It was clear early on that the squad had a lot of potential, which is why it was disappointing for the Year7's to lose their next 2 games in the National Cup & County Cup, 2-0 to The Heathland School and 3-2 to Howard of Effingham respectively.

Out of the cup competitions by November meant all attention turned to the League. From the 7 fixtures played, the boys won 6 and drew 1, remaining unbeaten in the District!

3-0 win vs Hoe Valley

6-0 win vs. BDB

6-2 win vs. Woking High

1-1 draw vs. Heathside

4-2 win vs. Fullbrook

1-0 win vs. Chertsey High

3-2 win vs. Salesian

Not only have the squad shown their quality but also resilience and determination to achieve a result even when not playing well. The boys have also developed their analytical skills by leading their own half time team talks which has helped develop their learning and understanding. Overall, 21 players have represented the 1^st team this year which is a great selection problem for Mr Martin to have, especially with the boys playing 11-a-side next year.

The Year 7's can now look forward to playing at Woking FC in the District Final at the end of April.

Barclays #LetGirlsPlay

On Wednesday 9^th of March The Winston Churchill School students took part in the Barclays #LetGirlsPlay initiative, this involved as many girls playing football throughout the day as possible.

The PE Department ran football across all girls PE lessons that day, there was an additional recreational football club and also a year 10 & 11 girls fixture against Hoe Valley- so lots to get involved in! The day was a success, with tweets from @WinstonSport keeping track of what was going on. Over 40 students attended football club and the 10 & 11 girls won their fixture 7-1.

The initiative looks to get more female students involved in football and it was lovely to see so many students get stuck in and play some great football!

The PE department hope to encourage more students to girls football club on Tuesdays 3.10-4pm!
