Page 14 Friday October 15 2010 Sport Australia’s amazing success Aussies take Commonwealth gold Alex Crichton-Miller 3H Sports correspondent In this year’s Commonwealth Games there have been many surprising results – for example, a Welshman actually winning a gold medal, but none more so than Australia’s extraordinary performance in the games and their capacity to win gold medals. Their staggering results read as follows: 64 gold medals, 40 silvers and 39 bronze medals. This is an amazing ratio of gold medals to silver medals. Normally in such games the medals will read with the least golds, more silvers and even more bronzes, but not in this case. The reasons behind Australia’s triumphant gold-medal winning streak lie mainly in swimming and cycling in which they wiped the floor by taking twelve cycling gold medals. However, the main reason for this virtually clean sweep is that Chris Hoy, Britain’s Olympic Gold-winning cyclist was not at the games! In the swimming, no-one in the Commonwealth could compete with Independent Schools Cup victory appears imminent ... (continued from back page) football from both sides. Chances were had at either end but defences were holding strong. The turning point came towards the end of the first half as Matt Howitt picked up the ball wide right, looked up and spotted the opposing keeper off his line. With the outside of his right foot he struck an exquisite goal into the top corner while their keeper was stranded. Whether this lifted City or demoralised Bolton, the second half was a completely different affair. The team demonstrated some of the most impressive football ever the Aussies as they won another multitude of medals. However, although they are the best in the Commonwealth, Australia will not necessarily win many Golds in 2012 when the likes of the Americans enter the pool. However weak the competition at the with Alex Conning and Freddie Evans running the show in the centre of midfield. The second and third goals were similar results of good possession and a neat through ball scored by strike partners Theo Sunley and then Tom Read. The team continued to attack and created countless opportunities which is pleasing as the game was already wrapped up. The journey home could not have felt any better knowing that the team has set a completely new standard for 1st XI football. The team will meet Charterhouse in the last 16 after half term and with a similar performance, City really should fancy their chances of continuing their now 12 game unbeaten run.

The question that now remains is will England win as many Golds as the Australians throughout the rest of the games? Ben Arfa’s broken leg part 2 Oliver W Camp S6RE Sports Editor On behalf of all at Citizen HQ I would like to apologise for the story we brought you last week regarding Ben Arfa’s broken leg. Whilst we sympathise with Mr Arfa and we fully understand the difficulty which such an injury can cause a professional sportsman we do not feel that it is really the kind of news which needs to be printed in such an esteemed publication as The Citizen. Please rest assured that, whilst no physical harm has come to the journalists involved in the writing of last week’s short article, we shall endeavour never again to bring you such inane non-news.
Friday October 15 2010 Weird Sport: Hurling Thavin Juvanendran 5H Sports writer If there were ever a sport which needed helmets, Hurling is it. It is one of the most violent sports in the history of the world. Hurling is a combination of football, field hockey, rugby and a drunken fight. A game consists of two teams made up of 15 unquestionably brave men. The players use axe-like wooden sticks called ‘hurleys’ to smack a small ball as hard as possible at head height into the goals. A well hit ball can reach up to 100mph, which, considering that no protective padding is ever worn, is pretty daunting. Obviously CLS K A R A T E CLUB Join the CLS Karate Club Lesson Times: Wed 4pm at the Squash Courts Thurs 4pm in the Junior School Hall More information: Contact Sensei Sanna at karate@sasori.co.uk this sport is only played in a country full of the bravest men, not afraid of having their heads knocked off by a small plastic ball, in other words, Ireland. For women, there is a similar game called ‘camogie.’ The origins of Hurling can be found back in Gaelic times and are based on an energetic outdoor activity. When the Irish began to migrate overseas, they tried to spread Hurling but everyone else was too frightened to take part. In 1931, Time magazine suggested the sport of golf was “a form of hurling modified by a more cautious race”.
