Year 6 9 a-side Football

On Wednesday 12th March the Chilcote 9 a-side team played Harbourne School in the HMS Cup quarter final. The game was a closely contested affair with both teams playing really well. Halfway through the first half Chilcote went ahead thanks to a screamer from the left winger, Harry, who struck a half volley from outside the area straight into the top corner.  After that, Harbourne started to pile on the pressure, and unfortunately just before the break they equalised with another great goal, again scored from outside the area. In the second half Harbourne went searching for the winning goal but couldn't break down the stubborn Chilcote defence, and the game ended 1v1. This meant extra time, which carried on in the same way as the second half with Harbourne attacking and Chilcote hitting them on the break. The game ended 1v1 after extra time, which led to penalties. Both teams chose three penalty takers. The first two from each school scored, then the third Harbourne penalty taker had his penalty saved by Matthew, before Ammaar smashed home the winning penalty. Chilcote are now in the semi-finals and are playing St Lawrence, if they win they will be gracing the hallowed turf of Bodymooor Heath for the Final! Well done boys another great victory!
