Tenbury vs York 2016

Well done to the pupils who played against Manor School, York on the weekend.

The boy’s football game was an entertaining fixture. Tenbury took a 3-1 lead with goals from Adam Staples (x2) and Ben Everall . Manor eventually levelled with 8 minutes to go and looked like they’d go on to score the winning goal. However, Tenbury won a corner with minutes on the clock and a clever back heel flick from Ellis Wear who managed to direct the ball into the net. Tenbury won 4-3.

The girls had two matches, both of mixed teams. The one team won 17 and a half to 8, and the other team narrowly missed out by 2 rounders. The girls played amazingly and a special mention to Lola Wear who stepped in last minute and scored 3 rounders.

Manor Academy visit THOA

After our York tour back in March it was our turn to host the Manor Academy for the weekend. 

The last game ended 3-2 to York so it was our chance to level the result.

The game was fairly even throughout with both teams creating some decent chances but it was York who took the lead when a cross into the box was not dealt with.

After half time THOA began to play some neat football and Adam Staples fired a cross into the box for Harrison Davies to control, setting up Alex Cridland who curled the ball into the top left half corner to level the score.

The game was looking like it was going to finish a draw but in the last few seconds Luke Bufton played a delightful through ball into the path of Matty O’Hagan who slipped it under the oncoming keeper to take the lead and the victory.

Well done to every single player who played in the game. A great game to watch!

Year 8 York tour

The year 8 football team have had a great weekend in York, taking part in a whole range of fun activities. This is the 33^rd year of the annual York visit.

We set off on Friday afternoon and after a fairly long journey we arrived safely at the Manor CE Academy in York. The group had a quick 5 a-side game in their sports hall before taking a short trip to the local McDonalds for tea.

Saturday morning, the team were up for breakfast and preparing for the football match at 9.30am.
We had made a promising start to the game, creating many chances, when Adam failed to score from close range and Harrison hit the bar. However, shortly afterwards we took the lead through a wonderfully finished goal by Adam Staples. The lead didn’t last long and they somehow managed to escape the offside to equalise.

The game remained fairly even with both teams striking the woodwork on a number of occasions and the score was 1-1 at half time.

It was Manor who took the lead just after half time, through a defensive error when a corner should have been cleared. However, Tenbury responded in the best way possible and equalised, minutes after, when Alex Cridland finished off some lovely attacking play.

The score looked like it was going to be a draw when Manor again pounced on some loose defending and made it 3-2 in a last few minutes.

Following the close game the boys were showered and ready for their shopping trip to York; this was following a short trip to the bowling and quasar centre. Mr Taylor had a masterclass on the alley racking up 5 strikes and 2 spares, scoring a personal best of 187. Following the bowling it was a quick game of Quasar where it was Mr Morris’s turn to show them how to play and in the process, being awarded top gun for the 3^rd year running.

After the activities we all made our way to the park and ride where we jumped on the ‘bendy bus’ and rode into town. The boys all headed straight to the sport shops and the members of staff headed for a cup of coffee and a cake…mmmmm!

Once we’d returned to the school it was time to prepare tea as the young people watched a film on the big screen. They had opted for Bond…James Bond.

Sunday morning was an early start in preparation for the trip home as the bus was loaded and breakfast consumed. This was all before we visited the National Railway Museum where the famous ‘Flying Scotsman’ was on show in all its glory. A whistle stop tour of the museum and we made our way back to Tenbury.

We have to add, the whole year 8 group have made us proud as they thanked us for everything we did throughout the weekend. I’d also like to thank the parents who helped us unload, once we’d returned to school.

We’ll look forward to the rematch later in the year when our hosts become our visitors on the 24th June.

Year 8 York tour

Last weekend, 13 pupils from year 8 travelled to York for our annual football tour. We left on Friday (6^th March) and arrived at the Manor Academy at 6pm.

Shortly after arriving, the boys organised a friendly 6 a side football game amongst themselves. After burning off all their energy following the journey, they were treated to a McDonalds for tea, after Leo Williams made the prize winning shot from the length of the football pitch.

After waking up early on Saturday morning the boys had breakfast and prepared for their football match against the Manor.

The game kicked off and THOA found themselves 1-nil behind after 5 minutes. We continued to battle and were soon rewarded when Matty O’Hagan found himself through on goal; he was quickly closed down by the keeper and remained calm before slotting the ball home from 18 yards.

Tenbury found it very difficult competing against a very large and physical York team who went on to score another 3 goals before half time. The second half proved to be just as tough and we had very few chances to get back into the game. York scored a further 4 goals making the final score 8-1.

After the game, the boys got ready for bowling and a game of Quaser. Mr Morris came out on top for the reds as 'top gun' but couldn't do enough as the greens won the overall game; Theo Houchin being their 'Top Gun'.

Following the fun in the arcade, the team went into York centre for a spot of shopping; most of them left York with a brand new football. With the sun shining the boys experienced some cultural heritage with a look at the York Minster and a walk around the wall. 

The pupils spent the rest of the evening relaxing, eating tea, playing football and watching a film in the school’s auditorium.

On Sunday, on our way home, we stopped off at the National Railway Museum where the team could stand next to some of the worlds most famous trains including Stephenson’s Rocket. One pupil couldn’t wait to see the rocket.



The whole group had a great time and we'll look forward to the return trip in the next few months.
