Langold Dyscarr Community School 2 – 1 Cuckney C of E Primary

On a surprisingly hot first day of Autumn, the newly kitted out Langold Dyscarr Community School Boys FC travelled to Cuckney in convoy for their first match of the 2016/17 season. Mr Hays had picked an attacking team which seemed to favour the heavy conditions of the Cuckney pitch. Within the first 8 minutes, Langold had plenty of opportunities on their opposition’s net with Harrison, Ziggi and Ronnie coming close. However, it was the Captain himself who stepped just inside of the halfway line to deliver a thunderbolt to the corner of the net. Cuckney then attempted to work their way back into the fixture but with the hard-tackling duo of Alec and Joel in the midfield, the ball couldn’t find its way through to their strikers. On the rare occasion that it did, the calming influence of Warren and Jayden in defence smothered the attack and set Langold on the break time and time again! Ziggi broke down the line past Cuckney’s defence and sent a pin-point cross straight onto the head of Harrison who just put his chance wide. The diminutive striker then broke clear of the defence but fell fowl of a molehill and missed his chance. The following attack on the Langold net ended up in Warren defending manfully and clearing out the goal mouth scramble that followed. At half time Langold had the lead but sadly they had to kick uphill for the second part of the game. Mr Hays made a substitution, taking the impressive Warren off and replacing him with Curtis.

After a few promising attacks, including a long shot from Ronnie the score remained 1 – 0. Cuckney (now with the downhill advantage) attacked time and time again forcing Logan into several saves in the Langold net. With 10 minutes left in the game Mr Hays made his 2^nd and 3^rd substitutions bringing on Will for Logan and Rhys for Harrison. Only seconds after coming on, Will was forced into making his first ever save for Langold. When an opposition free kick sent a long ball into our box, a flick on made Will use his head… literally! The ball hit the keeper flush on the forehead to many cheers from the rest of his team as a corner was given the other way. From the resulting corner, a breakaway, started by Ronnie, Ziggi, Alec and Rhys, was calmly finished by the Captain Kieron for his second goal of the match. A few minutes passed by and Cuckney attacked again, this time finding their way into the Langold box. A tackle came in from Joel and their striker was adjudged to be brought down illegally and a penalty was awarded and converted to bring the scores back to 2 – 1.

4 nervy minutes followed, but through pure force of will the Blues managed to withstand the attack. The final whistle was blown and the Langoldians celebrated and commiserated with their opponents.

A great start to the season and plenty of positives to take from it!

Match Ratings:

Logan – 7/10 – Didn’t have many chances on his net but looked calm, cool and collected when called upon.

Warren – 8/10 – Recognised danger well and put in some vital tackles at the last minute to save a goal.

Jayden – 8/10 – Solid at the back, whenever danger reared its head he put the ball down the field or out of play. Very impressive performance.

Joel – 9/10 – Just missed out on a Man of the Match award this week. He tackled well in the midfield and passed the ball nicely around the park. Looked very calm under pressure.

Kieron – 10/10 – Given the Captain’s Arm Band before the match and was told to lead by example. 2 goals, constant encouragement for his teammates showed that he deserves the role given to him. Man of the Match.

Alec – 8/10 – Looked nervous to start off with, but grew into the game very well. Put in a lot of crucial tackles to stop the Cuckney break in its tracks.

Ronnie – 9/10 – Put in 110% effort all through the match, and looked a constant threat to the Cuckney defence. Came back on the defence and helped out in the end resulting in him setting up the break for our 2^nd goal.

Ziggi – 9/10 – Ran up and down the wing time and time again, showed off his fancy footwork in beating several defenders and had the quality to produce very good crosses in the box.

Harrison – 8/10 – Always had their defenders looking over their shoulders, and never let them have time on the ball. Great energy and enthusiasm to get himself around the back four and look for some shots on their goal.

Will – 8/10 – Had a short but action packed time on the field, resulting in being hit in the head and facing a penalty. He barked instructions out to his defence and managed to earn the win.

Curtis – 7/10 – Looked solid and withstood a huge amount of pressure from their attackers. Knew his game plan and stuck to it.

Rhys – 7/10 – Tried a new position out and showed bags full of energy to buzz around their defenders giving Ziggi and Ronnie plenty of room to run into.

Mr Hays

Well done, boys!

F1 - Exploring the World Together

It was a very wet Tree-mendous Tuesday but we didn’t let that dampen our spirits! We are an all-weather F1 group and we take rain in our stride. In fact, we love the rain because it means we can find lots of puddles to walk through and in the afternoon we found a huge one. Everyone walked through it and some went back for seconds - didn’t they Henri? Kayden put his hood up and he exclaimed, ‘I’m all snuggled up!’ He certainly looked as snug as a bug in a rug! We noticed that our environment is starting to change as autumn is creeping in. Lexi-Jay pointed to the leaves which had started to turn red and Poppy noticed that some were changing to a yellow colour. Sophie looked at the floor and said it was ‘mucky’ which it certainly was as the rain had started to turn our path into mud which Rylee found out when he took a little tumble and had muddy hands much to his horror!

Miss Frisby decided that we would use our Tree-mendous Tuesday adventure as an opportunity to use our listening ears to see what we could hear in the woods (if we managed to be quiet enough for two seconds to listen, which is almost impossible when there is so much to see and talk about!) Halle heard lots of birds, Annalise, Rylee and Dylan heard an aeroplane, Avah-Mae heard the rain and Kayden heard the other children! Mrs Fenton stamped her feet to make a loud noise which Logan thought was funny! Freya found an acorn and so did Evie. We love to collect things in the wood. Zuzanna collected sticks and Joshua and Gracie-Mai collected stones. Some of them were quite big and she stuffed them in her pockets. I hope you check her coat before you wash it, Mummy! Maiya, Sophie, Esmae, Joshua and Henri spotted a slug which was huge and we all had to take a closer look. Evie, Poppy and Daisy picked the dandelion clocks and blew off all their seeds. I hope they made a wish! Lexi-Jay and Delilah were happily chatting away and Lexi-Jay excitedly told me that she had seen Delilah in the King Billy pub which is very exciting news! Delilah was also happy about that and she was eager to tell Mrs Bacon about her hamster, Hammie! Halle talked about her pet dog, Marvin, who used to be naughty but isn’t anymore! The conversations they have with each other are fabulous and they are learning to listen to what others are saying and respond to them too. We learn so many life skills in the woods and it’s not just about exploring! Inside the woods the rain wasn’t too bad. Avah-Mae said it was because the leaves stop the rain. So we put our mat down, sat on it and had a drink and a party ring biscuit, kindly donated by Mrs Bacon. Yummy! Halle said it was half past seven! I don’t know where the times goes so it was time to head back and lots of singing was heard through the woods as a children sang ‘Rain, rain go away’, ‘1,2,3,4,5 once I caught a fish alive,’ and ‘I hear thunder’. Do you think that is why it rained harder?! We got back to school for our fruit and hot chocolate and Poppy said, ‘When I get home, I’m going to take all my clothes off and put my PJs on!’ What a super idea, Poppy!
