St Brendans Sports Review 26/11/2008

Welcome back to another eagerly anticipated sports round up of all the action from last week. We start off with the basketball and a grudge match between St Brendans Hussells and Richard Huish College.

If the lads needed anything to help them bounce back from last weeks disappointing result in the South West Tournament, it was this match. A chance to settle the score with Richard Huish College who, earlier in the season, made a mockery of the Hussells by beating them 61 – 27. St Brendans started off well with some good play and quick attack, but once again they couldn’t handle the Richard Huish attack, who were firing on all cylinders. The lads put everything into this match, everyone knew the importance of getting a win and putting there last match with Richard Huish behind them, but they couldn’t do it. Richard Huish were too quick in attack and too strong in defence. St Brendans scored 42 points but they were beaten by a familiar points tally of 61. Man of The Match goes to Chad Barley, who scored 27 of the 42 points.

Next up we have the netball and their friendly against Richard Huish College.

This may have been a friendly match but neither side were taking this match lightly, they all put in maximum effort and the desire to win was inspiring. The girls looked simply brilliant when attacking but it was their defence that let them down, at times it was sloppy and there was a lack of concentration. Richard Huish were, as always, organised and ruthless in their play, and looked unstoppable. The final score was St Brendans 26 – 46 Richard Huish College.

Finally we move on to the St Brendans Rugby team and their friendly against Ashton Park.

The lads went into this match, not really knowing what to expect from this Ashton Park side, but they were not expecting such an easy ride to victory. Ashton Park just didn’t seem up to the challenge of taking on such a strong force as St Brendans. They played with a sense of caution to go forward and if you play like that against St Brendans you haven’t got a chance. The lads bombarded them with waves of attack and Ashton Park were surprisingly resilient at the back but they had nothing to answer with when going forward. The final score was Ashton Park 0 – 36 St Brendans. Man of The Match goes to Mike Uren who played with real grit and determination.

Congratulations to everyone who played this week, good luck in your upcoming fixtures.
