Well done to the Arthur Terry U15's for another fantastic performance and result today! Superstar striker and man of the match Sam Watts, continued his prolific start to the season by adding 5 goals to his personal tally.  Sam's impressive finishing included a first-half hat-trick that came within the first 15 minutes of the game! Other highlights included a fine display from midfielder Daniel Taylor (making his first start of the season after returning from injury) and after No.1 keeper Dylan Mandaracas shut out the opposition yet again, he is still yet to concede a goal this season!

Arthur Terry's double cup winning side from last season secured their second league win of the season, with a huge goal fest against Erdington based Kingsbury School & Sports College.  Despite a commendable and tenacious effort from the opposition, the game was quite a one sided contest from start to finish.  The scoring came courtesy of Samuel Watts (4), Josiah Francis (5), Reece Hutchinson, Harry Swift and an own goal.  It was a real dominant display from the Arthur Terry team today - lets hope this good form is taken into the Cup fixtures that are scheduled for next week.

Man of the Match: Left midfield maestro Harry Swift. 

Year 8's Win Opening Match of the Season

Last years League and District Cup Champions got off to a winning start in their 2014/15 League campaign, seeing off St Edmund Campion 5-1 at Home. 

The game was a chance for many of last year's players to show why they deserve to retain their place in the team. The first half was a poor one, with Arthur Terry conceding following a scramble in the box.

Campions' lead did not last long though, with Kai Knight equalising minutes later. With 5 minutes until half time Arthur Terry began to play football, with some neat, intricate passing in wide areas. It was during this time that Kai Knight grabbed his scond to give Arthur Terry a 2-1 lead at half time. 

Most of Mr Holliday's Year 7 squad have continued into the Year 8 team.

Half time saw the introduction of Dylan Russel in place of Harry Brophy and Harry Canning in place of Adam Perks. Arthur Terry began to pick up the pace and it wasn't long before Kai Knight completed his hat trick with a dipping shot from 25 yards lobbing the keeper. 

The home team continued to push forward. Good work from Jack Hawkins and Harry Canning led to Luke Barnett scoring from inside the box to make it 4-1. 

The Arthur Terry defence were rarely troubled in the second half, dealing with high balls and maintaining possession well. 

With moment left in the match, Jack Hawkins ventured down the left wing, cut in and struck an unstoppable shot into the far top corner. A superb strike and deserved for his outstanding work rate during the game. 

The Year 8's turn their attention to Cup Games now, with three cup competitions to take part in. They start with a Home match against Great Barr in the District Cup on Monday 22nd September, hoping to defend the trophy they won last season.

The Arthur Terry U15 football team kicked-off the new 2014-15 season today with a comprehensive 8-0 league victory over Erdington based School St Edmund Campion.  Sam Watts opened the scoring within two minutes of the kick-off, and then added a second before Jack Pearson hit a stunning 25 yard 'cross' free-kick to make the score 3-0 at half-time.  Sam Watts netted a further two goals in the second half, whilst the remaining goals came from midfielder Harry Swift, forward Jo Francis and defender and team captain Jack Logan (Penalty).

A huge credit goes to Sam Watts for his clinical finishing and four goal tally today, but the overall player of the match award, for his superb link-up play, goal assists and well taken strike goes to Jo Francis.

Year 9's defeat Highclare in first competitive Softball match!

Arthur Terry Year 9 Softball team played there first competitive fixture against Highclare School on Tuesday 1st July. 

The team are relatively new to Softball, having only really experienced the Sport through core curriculum PE time. 

More recently the team travelled to Bishop Walsh School for the Sutton Schools Summer Tournament. They finished a very credible Third place, having finished runners up in the group stages!

The first competitive softball fixture was held at Arthur Terry. Both teams performed well in the Sutton Schools tournament so it was bound to be a very competitive fixture!

The teams played two innings of 10 minutes to try and get the most runs possible. Highclare won the toss and chose to put Arthur Terry into bat first. The lads made a strong total of 14 runs. Highclare replied in their innings with 11 runs, leaving Arthur Terry with a lead of three runs going into the second innings. 

Arthur Terry secured eight runs in their second innings to give a total of 22. This left Highclare with a target of 12 runs to win!

Arthur Terry fielded very well. Will Preece' bowling made it difficult for Highclare to secure as many runs as they had hoped. Aaron Rawlins also took the catch of the match with a few minutes to go, effortlessly catching a superb hit from Highclare' strongest batter. 

Time ran out for Highclare as they reached a total of 19 runs. Arthur Terry were the winners! 22-19. 

Both teams played their part in an excellent contest. The players shook hands and Arthur Terry even formed a guard of honour for Highclare, led by the ever enthusiastic Toby Winter!

The Squad:

Aaron Rawlins

Harvey Timmins

Will Preece

Billy Painter

Dylan Mandaracas

Toby Winter

Matthew Myles- Hutton

Matthew Thomas

Jack Pearson

Congratulations to the lads! We look forwards to more Softball success in the future!
