CROSS COUNTRY
On Tuesday, Paris and Tom competed in the Inter
Area Cross Country races at Penrice School, having
qualified for selection due to their excellent
performances in the Restormel Cross Country League
this season. They were up against strong competition,
on a muddy and much longer course than normal, but
again ran really well. Tom finished in a very
respectable 38th place in his race, so well done Tom!
Paris also put in a lot of effort and finished her race in
a brilliant fourth position! Paris has now been invited
to represent the Mid Cornwall Sports Network at The
Sainsbury School Games Primary Cross Country Final
on March 13th. Well done Paris, and Good Luck!
BIKEABILITY
Due to the bad weather, the last Bikeability session

MATCH REPORTS
ROCHE SCHOOL V LUXULYAN SCHOOL
27TH FEBRUARY 2014
FOOTBALL
Our Football team took on the mighty Roche on a blustery day in Clay Country.
In spite of the score, this game was an even contest but with the wind, Roche stole an early lead
with a swerving shot from distance. This was to prove the pattern of the first half, with both
sides having chances , but the wind being the difference. The half time score was 3-0 to Roche.
A decision was made to play a longer 2nd half and we were far more into the game with the
wind at our backs. However, a mistake in our defence led to a break away Roche goal, 4-0.
From this point on, for the remaining 20 minutes of the game, we had Roche on the back foot
and did everything but score, until Harvey Barnett ran on to a great through ball and tucked it
coolly into the bottom corner, 4-1! We continued to press, but with 5 minutes to go, Roche
broke away from our pressure and scored a 5th goal that killed any chances of an unlikely
comeback. The boys, as always, were a credit to the school and took defeat well. A great attitude from a great team who are a real credit to the school. Thank you to all who came and supported the team, it really makes us play better when you cheer us on!! Thank you.
Squad:- William Gard, Eli Lee, Rory Moores, Tom Higman, George Loud, Harvey Barnett (C),
John Gard, Alfie Grey, Robin Dolan, Ben Lucas.
HIGH 5
We had had lots of practice since our last match against Roche. Even though we were nervous,
we were better prepared to take them on. We started really well with Jasmin Heard and Paris
McDermott as our GA and GS. Both scored twice within the first quarter but Roche also managed to score a couple of goals even though we had some great defending from Zach Morley
and Jake Allen. In the second quarter we had some great attempts from Lizzie Allen and Jake
Allen, who managed to score twice. At half time the score was 6 – 2 to us and we were excited
at the prospect of winning this game. In the third and fourth quarter Roche managed to score 4
goals despite some fantastic defending from Ellise James and Alesha Tonkin against a much
bigger and older Roche team, but we still managed to hold them off, with Jasmin Heard and
Paris McDermott scoring our final 2 goals of the match to leave the total score 8-6 to Luxulyan.
Well done Luxulyan for a fantastic game and thank you to all the parents that came to cheer us
on.
Team:- Lizzie and Jake Allen, Paris McDermott, Jasmin Heard, Zach Morley, Alesha Tonkin,
Ellise James.
