The Courier

Crescent's Under 10 Footballers have been busy.  On Monday 17 September they played in Princethorpe College Primary Football Tournament and the boys played some excellent football.  James Wright was confident in tackling and heading at the back whilst Keshav Gupta was a calmer more ‘ball playing’ defender alongside him. Tom Ferguson showed progress with great work in both boxes, he was ably supported in midfield by the hard work of George Bell and Matthew Thomas. George Crowfoot played up front and showed off his ball skills. Crescent won four out of the five matches with George Bell scoring the majority of the goals.

This Monday, Crescent played in the ISA Midlands 5-a-side tournamanet.  They held their positions exceptionally well and caused all their opponents problems with their flow up the field.  Crackley Hall were the eventual winners and Crescent gave them a good game - the score was 1-1 for most of the match. Squandered chances meant that the boys didn’t get the results that they deserved from all their hard work. Tom Ferguson stood out as an attacking force and Josh Gorbutt was outstanding in goal, making up for others' mistakes on occasions. Keshav Gupta scored his first goal for the school from the spot before quickly following it up with his second from range.

Two really promising performances from the boys. The Foremarke Tournament is coming up and will give the boys a chance to develop even more.
