opportunities there are<br />
here at the <strong>College</strong> for<br />
young people to achieve<br />
sporting excellence”<br />
<strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
first XI<br />
unbeaten<br />
At the time of writing, <strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s<br />
football team is sitting proudly on top<br />
of the ECFA (English <strong>College</strong>s Football<br />
Association) League with impressive 4-1<br />
victories against both Chichester (home)<br />
and East Berkshire <strong>College</strong> (away). The<br />
team has also made it through to the 4th<br />
round of the ESFA national cup, having<br />
beaten local rivals Worthing <strong>College</strong> 1-0<br />
along the way. The team are also through<br />
to the Quarter Final of the county cup.<br />
Awards bonanza<br />
for Boxing<br />
Academy<br />
<strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s Boxing Academy, founded<br />
just over a year ago, had double success<br />
recently in the council’s Brighton & Hove<br />
<strong>City</strong> Sport and Physical Activity Awards held<br />
at the Amex Stadium to celebrate the hard<br />
work and achievements of local coaches,<br />
volunteers, clubs and athletes. Boxing<br />
Academy star Archie Hutchins won Young<br />
Sports Personality of the Year while his coach<br />
Adam Haniver won the Coach of the Year<br />
Award. 17-year-old Archie is in his second<br />
year of the Advanced Apprenticeships in<br />
Sporting Excellence (AASE) programme,<br />
and also boxes for Tadley Amateur Boxing<br />
Club. In May this year, he was crowned<br />
Junior ABAE Champion and he was also<br />
named ‘Achiever of the Year’ at the Argus<br />
Achievement Awards. Adam’s award was for<br />
the success of the boxers he’s coached and<br />
for the immense amount of time he devotes<br />
to developing the sport locally. “These<br />
accolades are a great testament to the high<br />
standards and professional attitude that our<br />
Boxing Academy has managed to establish in<br />
a short space of time”, said Luke Hampton,<br />
<strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s Sports & Public Services Team<br />
Leader. “I really hope that this success will<br />
help raise awareness of all the opportunities<br />
there are here at the <strong>College</strong> for young<br />
people to achieve sporting excellence.”<br />
Star player Jordan Adekunle has made his<br />
mark on the national scene by making it<br />
through to the last 32 of England <strong>College</strong>’s<br />
selection. Luke Donaldson is the leading<br />
the top goal scorer charts with a total<br />
of six. Meanwhile, the 2nd 11, playing<br />
an expansive passing style of football,<br />
have been fantastic to watch. Although<br />
they have been involved with some high<br />
scoring games they have yet to secure<br />
their first win.<br />

Sports round-up<br />
The Rugby team have been involved in<br />
games against Eastbourne <strong>College</strong>, Steyning<br />
Grammar, BHASVIC and Varndean. They<br />
have also taken part in a Rugby League 9s<br />
competition in South London and a RFU-run<br />
10s competition in Sussex. The results have<br />
been disappointing but the team are making<br />
great strides in being able to play regularly<br />
in structured competitions. The team are<br />
developing well and the sport is growing<br />
steadily at the college.<br />
The women’s football team have played a<br />
fixture which they lost but are training regularly<br />
under the instruction of Coach, Richard Carter.<br />
Netball is in its inaugural year and there has<br />
yet to be any competitive games played yet but<br />
training is going well so far. Hockey training<br />
sessions have also been well-attended, led by<br />
Sport Lecturer, Sam Stares.<br />
