Progress in the Cup for our U12 A-Team!

Arthur Terry 3 v 1 North Birmingham Academy
Scorers:
C McDowell; A Jones; R Thomas

Match report:
The Y7 Boys Football A team extended their undefeated season yesterday with a superb 3 - 1 defeat over North Birmingham Academy school in the AES district cup.  The visitors provided a competitive challenge for our U12 boys, but in the end a dominant performance earned the boys a well deserved and comfortable victory. Midfielder Corian McDowell was at hand to open the scoring in the first half, after dispatching his effort from just inside the box after receiving a ball that had been parried out by the opposing keeper.  Arthur Terry's second came shortly after, after Alex Jones' effort from inside the box looped perfectly over the line, just beating a last ditch attempt from the keeper to save it.  AVFC Academy starlet and team Captain Riley Thomas wrapped up the soring just before half-time with a clinical finish from what was a tight angle, sliding the ball underneath an advancing keeper that was helpless to keep it out.  Windy conditions make the second half difficult for both teams, but it was the Arthur Terry boys once again that controlled the most of the half.  Defenders Ross Lewis and Zak Russell worked extremely hard in the game, both putting their bodies on the line at various stages to block shots and clear the ball out from danger, but sadly the clean sheet was foiled after the visitors managed to score a late consolation goal.

Man of the match: Matt Greenway
Very difficult to select one player with so many strong performances, but center midfielder Matt played a commanding role in the middle of the park - reading the game very well, setting up chances in attack and being at hand to defend when needed also.

U16 Football team back to their best!

AES District Cup Quarter-Final
Bishop Walsh 2 – 4 Arthur Terry
Scorers: Watts 2, Francis 2

Match Report:
The U16 boys travelled across to local rivals Bishop Walsh School this week, hoping to avenge last year’s defeat in the regional district cup final!  The game started with an early kick-off and the Y11 Arthur Terry boys wasted no time in making an immediate impact by taking a 2 goal lead within the opening 10 minutes.  The opener came from Sam Watts, who was at hand to convert a superb ball that was delivered into the box. The second came minutes later from striker Josiah Francis, who finished clinically past the keeper after holding off several challenges during a strong run towards the goal.  Walsh pulled a goal back around the 20 minute mark, but our Y11’s continued to dominate the game and went 3 – 1 ahead before the HT break with another fantastic strike from Josiah Francis who curled in an effort off the far post from just outside the area.  In the second half the home side pulled the score closer, after capitalizing on their 'Rory Delap' throw-in tactic, but Arthur Terry once again restored the two goal margin within minutes of conceding the second. Striker Sam Watts completed his brace after finishing off an absolutely stunning counter attack, that included several link up's of one and two touch passes, excellent movement and a wonderful delivery to assist the awaiting finisher. From then on the game continued in the same fashion and the U16 boys put on a real show of football class to control and see out the game that finished 4 – 2 overall, securing the team’s place in the semi-final.

NB: Arthur Terry U16 now wait  to play the winners of Stockland Green vs. Plantsbrook.

Match reports

The Arthur Terry U12 B team got their Division 2 league campaign underway today, with two emphatic wins against Hodge Hill A and Hodge Hill B teams.  

Game 1: Early into the match, Hodge Hill-A caught Arthur Terry off guard and took the lead with an erroneous strike that looped in over keeper Chad Slack from outside of the box.  The Yr7 boys soon settled down though and took control of the game, levelling shortly after courtesy of another super finish from U12B team goal machine, Oliver Parry.  Oliver netted his second later in the half and fellow forward Dylan Phipps also bagged a brace to secure a well-deserved 4-2 win ...and 3 league points!

Game 2: This match proved to be quite a different challenge compared to the contest in Game 1. Although the opponents played bravely, they were simply no match for a rampant Arthur Terry team that dominated the game, with six different players hitting the back of the net.  The goals came via a range of good build up play, super assists and well taken individual strikes!  The pick of the goals from the 6-0 rout probably came from defender Harry Hatch, who it a super left foot strike from outside the area leaving  absolutely no chance for the opposing keeper to save it!

Early Cup Exits for the U16 and U12-B Teams!

U12 Arthur Terry B          4 v 5       Greenwood Academy
Scorers:
J Mewis; O Parry; F Sweeny

Match report
This was a valiant first outing for the Y7 B squad, which ruefully ended in a narrow margin defeat!  The Arthur Terry boys found themselves two goals down early on into the game, before team captain Jordan Mewis netted the team’s first official goal.  A ‘cat and mouse’ score line then continued throughout the game!  After Arthur Terry conceded a third, Oliver Parry scored the first of his brace right on the stroke of half-time to make the score 2-3 to the visitors.  In the second half 2-3 unfortunately became 2-4, but once again Oliver Parry replied soon after by netting his second – a superb solo run through the opposition defence before smashing the ball past the keeper.  Disappointingly 3-4 became 3-5, via a series of very unfortunate and costly errors at the back!  The boys’ determination and perseverance however, yet again saw them pull the score line closer, after midfielder Fynn Sweeny slotted home Arthur Terry’s fourth goal from close range.  At 4-5 the boys’ pressed hard for the equaliser, but were thwarted twice by the opposing keeper in two one-on-one chances that were created!  Overall, mistakes proved to be too costly on this occasion! The team will be hoping to claim their first victory when they take on Hodge Hill School in their first league fixture next week, on Tuesday 13^th October!

U16 Arthur Terry              1 v 3       Handsworth Grammar School
Scorer:
S Watts 

Match Report
Despite a bright start and taking a 1-0 lead into half-time, courtesy of a super finish from striker Sam Watts, the Yr11 boys struggled to take control of the game and were eventually made to pay for a combination of tepid defending and the spurning two 'clear-cut' chances.  During the game goalkeeper Dylan Mandaracas pulled off several top drawer saves to keep the opposition at bay, but the equaliser was conceded shortly into the second half.  The visitors then went ahead just 5 minutes short of the final whistle, and finally scored their third goal with literally the last kick of the match.  It was a disappointing result and performance overall - ending the team's chance to reclaim the BSSF trophy that they had managed to do on two previous occasions back in the 2011/12 and 2013/14 seasons! All is still to play for though in the district league and cup competitions.  The U16 boys are eager to put things right in their next outing, which could be in Rd2 of the district cup, where the Yr11's await the winners of the Rd1 tie between local school rivals Bishop Walsh and John Willmott.

THIS GIRL CAN

The P.E department are supporting the ‘THIS GIRL CAN’ campaign promoted by Sport England and as seen advertised on T.V!

 

Our aim is to raise the profile and awareness of the benefits of physical activity by celebrating the successes and achievements of students here at Arthur Terry.

 

 

We want your child to bring in a photo/poster (A4) of themselves taking part in their sport/ physical activity outside of school and then attach the AT logo and the THIS GIRL CAN logo, along with a slogan which matches their photo! Our display will then appear in the P.E block, helping inspire other girls that it is ‘cool’ to look ‘hot’ in P.E.

 

Please help us by encouraging your child to bring in an image.

 

Kind regards

Miss Horspool
