Year 5 Girls Win Final

The girls in the year 5 and under football team played a fantastic final last Friday at our school. This time they played against Green Park who had a strong team with most of the team in year 5. We had our usual mix of year 3 year 4 and year 5 and the girls played really well not giving in and competing against some strong challenges. The deadlock was broken in the first half with a great goal from Ellie. Sophie made the match safe with a brilliant effort in the second half. Well done girls and good luch to those playing in the final of the year 6 and under. Many thanks to James and Carmel for all their effort and encouragement. Here are the champions with their medals and cup.

	Well done girls. We are all very proud of your effort and the great way you have supported each other. Special thanks to James and Carmel for being brilliant coaches.

 

Year 6 Girls in Another Final

Well what can we say about our year 6 and under girls football team. They travelled to Aintree Davenhill last Friday after school to play in the semi-final. There were some big girls from Davenhill and it looked as if it was going to be a tough battle. Well our team from year 6 year 5 year 4 and yes year 3 were well warmed up by James and Carmel and off they went. They played brilliantly and came away winners 2:0 so they are now in the final of both the girls football cups. We dedicated the whole game to Lil from year 6 because she was sick and had to go home with auntie Tracy. Well you're in the final now girl. Hopefully it will be played after some light training this Friday. We were so excited we forgot to take the camera so here we are in the school hall.

Fantastic Finch Farm Finals

Yesterday on June 16th our football teams from year 3 and 4 and 6 went to Everton's Academy at Finch Farm. The finals were to celebrate the best teams from all over Sefton and we had 3 teams in them. They sent a double decker bus to take us there. The weather was very hot and we were all very excited. The first final was the year 6 match against Great Crosby who have 3 year 6 classes. It was a tough game but we eventually won with Adam's great right foot shot and fantastic defending. Next two games were the year 3 and year 4 and we had teams in both finals. The teams played fantastic football and year 4 won again with goals from Jordan's right foot and a left foot free kick. The team defended well and Ryan had a great game in goal. The final score was 2: 1 to St John Bosco. Well the year 3 were having a brilliant match and really put the team from Great Crosby under alot of pressure. They hit the bar twice and the ball was cleared off the line 3 times. It was not meant to be and sadly they scored a goal from a corner that bounced off Amelia's arm and hit the post and went in. We all had a great morning and will try again next year except for year 6's. Here are some pictures they are also on the childrens class web pages.

Year 6 Boys Romp into Cup Final

The boys from year 6 had a particularly good game of football last night, Tuesday 9th June, when they met Northway Primary School in the semi-final of the Maghull year 6 cup. The boys were captained by Josh Mc Donough who had another determined performance in the left of defence. The boys passed the ball around well and really played some beautiful one touch football. I was very proud and can't wait to tell Mr Merivale tomorrow. The final score was St John Bosco Primary 11  Northway primary 2. Well done boys. The final will be announced as soon as we have details. Good luck in the Everton Academy Final next Tuesday alongside year 3 and year 4. Wow what a year.

Year 6 and Under Girls Fly into Final

The year 6 and under girls football team made their way into the Maghull finals which will take place after our half term break. Once again they played fantastic passing football with a final score win of 6:0 All the girls were fantastic with a brilliant shot frm Ellie from a great setup by Jess. Emma scored 2 and the ball went home to the Fallons with Sophie scoring a hat trick. Well done girls. Here are a few pictures of the team with a great action shot of Amelia flying through the air.

Year 5 and Under Girls Romp into Final

The girls in the year 5 and under football Cup Semi-final came away as comfortable winners in a 7:0 win against the girls from St Thomas' . James and Carmel were very proud of their efforts and the large number of supporters cheered in a most sporting manner. Thank you to Mr Merivale for being the ref. Well done girls you are catching up with the boys.  The smell is still the same.

Walk to School Week 2009

This week has been Walk to School week. We have been trying to walk to school all week. To encourage us, and to record our effort, each class has been given a chart to record how we went to school as well as a diary. Today was our very special day and we went out with children from Green Park to see if there was an improvement. We saw lots of people walking and cycling and it was noticeable that there were fewer cars on the roads which made it much safer. The thing is can we keep it up? Let's all try our best to make our school environment safer and healthier.

Here are some pictires to show our findings.

 

 

Girls enjoy Fantastic Friendly Football Fun

The girls from years 3, 4, 5 and 6 enjoyed two fantastic football matches last night against the girls from Green Park. They played some quite outstanding football and the A team won 5:1 with the B team sharing a 0:0 draw. It was great to see how they have developed individually and as a team under the coaching of Carmel and James. It has been so good to see the great numbers that turn up every Friday after school and it would be great to see even more of the girls from year 3 if they would like to take part. Well done to all the girls.

Boys Miss Out On Final By Goal Difference

The year 6 boys football team travelled to Liverpool Academy on Monday 18th May to take part in the Annual finals. They played fantastic foorball and were more than a match for the other teams all of which came from large primary schools from all over Merseyside. The boys played 5 games in total with 3 draws and 2 wins. Two of the draws saw the boys winning with a minute to go which was unfortunate. However the final league saw the team level top on points but they missed the final to Farnborough Road by a goal difference of 1. They now look forward to the Maghull year 6 semi final and the Everton Academy finals after half term. Well done to all the boys.

They will now play either St Thomas' or Lydiate in the semi-final.

 

More Football News

Last week saw another very busy week for the footballers. The year 4 and 5 team lost in a sudden death penalty shoot out last Thursday in the quarter finals of the cup. The boys played a year 5 team from Northway and were very unlucky hitting the post and bar on a number of occasions. The year 2 boys had a great afternoon out on Friday. They didn't win their matches however really tried their best. Well done against some really tough opposition. The year 6 team continues to march on in the Liverpool Echo Shield. They beat Huyton with Roby in a very close match 3 : 2  with goals from Joel Joe and the winner from Pat. We now play St Benedict's as soon as we can arrange the fixture. Our friends at Maricourt are doing all they can to help us play the game as quickly as possible. Well done this is a great 11 a side achievement. Thanks parents for your great support.
