May 2008 - Littleover Community School

Littleover did however achieve success in the year 11 cup final. After losing
6-0 to Chellaston in the league, Littleover wanted to get revenge. Mr
‘Jose’ Wilson selected a strong starting 11, with the aim to get in the
faces of Chellaston as soon as the whistle went. After a tense opening
period Ndo Chilaka ran on to a hopeful ball to squeeze a shot in at the
near post which deflected of the keeper to make it 1-0. Littleover kept
the pressure on with Alex Grace, Rory Sharratt and Lewis Chambers
bossing the midfield. After another ball over the top Ndo made it 2-0 with
a cool finish past the keeper. Chellaston didn’t lie down and got back into
the game with a scrappy goal from a corner. 2-1. It was starting to get
tense and Mr ‘Jose’ Wilson started to get twitchy and made changes.
Thorenson and Buckle came on to steady the ship. Littleover regained
their two-goal advantage through Josh Wisdom, who deserved a goal
after all the tireless running that he had made. Now for the tense finish;
Chellaston made it 3-2 to take the game to the death. However Littleover
held strong through some resolute defending from Lee, Jellyman, Wagg
and Woodcock.
VICTORY. A huge well done to the boys who after a tough year have
finished their school career as City Cup Champions.
I would like to thank everyone for their support and help throughout the
season especially to Mr Wraith, Mr Chawner and Mr Buchannan who have
given up a tremendous amount of time to run football teams this year.

Years 8, 10 and 11 entered a rugby 7’s tournament at John Port School
this month. Year 8 entered two teams and played against some big year
9 boys. They battled hard and finally understood the term ‘the bigger
they are the easier they fall’ to achieve some success in the competition.
The Year 8 team have worked hard all year under the tuition of Mr
Downward and have finally achieved the success that they deserve.
The Year 10/11 team came up against some huge boys from other
schools that put the “fear of God” into me and I was standing on the
sideline, so I hate to think what they were thinking, at the thought of
actually tackling them. However, after 2 wins and 2 defeats finished in a
respectful 2 nd place.
Lets hope we can build on the success of rugby in the school next
season. If anyone in Years 7-11 are interested in playing, please see
Mr Downward or Mr Wilson.
