Welcome back to the St Brendans weekly sports review. We start with the St Brendans football first XI and their fixture against Bridgewater College.
St Brendans started the match looking to dominate early on, however a lack of concentration lead to an early set back as Bridgewater took the lead from a well worked corner. The lads had it all to do. The goal forced St Brendans to go on the attack and try and bring it level as soon as they could, Alex Nash , George Knight and Sam Baker all creating brilliant chances to equalise in the first half, but the Bridgewater keeper remained defiant.
The second half was no change. The lads hit both posts and the crossbar through Alex Bakker and Chris Hemmings but they still could not find an equaliser. The match seemed destined for a Bridgewater victory, until, with 10 minutes to go, a long ball was played up into the Bridgewater penalty area, causing a nervous goal mouth scramble, eventually the ball landed to Kurtis Henry who fired it home from close range.
With a matter of minutes to go St Brendans went on the attack again, searching for a winner, the ball landed to Kurtis Henry who almost pulled off a cheeky back heel that deserved to go in.
A fantastic performance by the lads who deserved to be winners on the day. Congratulations to Kurtis Henry who picked up the Man of The Match award. Final score, St Brendans 1 - 1 Bridgewater.
Next up we have the Rugby, as St Brendans took on Katharine Lady Berkeleys in a thrilling encounter.
This match truly is the definition of 'a game of two halves'. St Brendans started the match poorly and the first half went down hill from there. They couldn't cope with the strong attack of Katharine Lady Berkeleys and it proved evident when the lads went into half time 10 - 0 down. St Brendans had to pick up their performance if they wanted any chance of salvaging anything from this game. That's exactly what they did. The lads played the second half with a strong determination to win as they knew they had to pull off something special. They were creative in attack and organised in defence and managed to level the game at 15 - 15 with trys being scored by Ottis Smart, Oscar Sarvage and Ben Taylor. Luckily, thanks to the try count (St Brendans 3 - 2 Katharine Lady Berkeleys), St Brendans were crowned victorious in this close encounter. The lads showed great maturity to come back from 10 - 0 down at half time and they thoroughly deserved the result.
Now we move on to Basketball and The St Brendans Hussell's match against Gloscat College.
After St Brendans' disappointing result against Richard Huish College, it was important that the lads bounced back with a win. Their defence was vulnerable at times but the Hussell's attack was unstoppable and great to watch. The lads knew that they had to win this week and win well. That they did, beating Gloscat College 61 - 40. A great performance by the St Brendans Hussell with everyone working hard for a well earned result.
Finally, we move onto Netball as St Brendans took on Gloscat College.
The Netball team capped off a brilliant week for St Brendans as their emphatic 28 - 10 victory over Gloscat College made it 4 wins out of 4. They put in 100% effort and it paid off as Gloscat never looked like winning this encounter between the two sides. A brilliant performance by everyone involved, especially Alice Hajek who picked up the Man of The Match award.
Congratulations to everyone on your brilliant results this week, keep it up and good luck in your upcoming fixtures.
