BOYS’ PE Football
2nd
XI v Mary Hare 2-4 win in
the league
Spec-tastic performance from
St Bart’s to win the opening game!
Could St Bart’s pull it off on a windy
Wednesday at Mary Hare? Despite Callum
O’Neill’s best effort Mary Hare took an early
lead from a well-placed shot that trickled
under Callum’s body into the bottom corner.
This however would not affect Callum’s debut
game in goal as he was very commanding,
claiming the ball from corners. St Bart’s upped
their game and they piled on the pressure and
this finally led to Hayman dribbling around
three players to open up space from where he
played the ball through to Andy who took it
round the keeper to score into an empty net
despite nearly falling over his own feet.
St Bart’s continued to dominate and their
defence was commanding with the likes of
Sam Eva winning numerous headers, Heskey
tackling everything that moved, Haz putting in
a shift for the team linking up with George
keeping Mary Hare’s attack at bay. After a
defensive mix up Mary Hare’s keeper handled
the ball outside the box where Bart’s won a
free kick. Yates picked up the ball and struck
the ball into the top bins to give the team a 2-1
lead into half time. As the second half began
Bart’s were dominant and it was only a short
time before we scored again. Callum played
the ball out to Patrick Cardwell who headed
the ball to Yates and then he flicked the ball
through to big Alfie-Davis Ellard who
powered a shot into the bottom corner. It can
be argued that Pro Clubs had something to do
with that goal. After confident displays from
Matt Parkes and James Hassall in midfield St
Bart’s continued to press Mary Hare and it was
only a matter of time before they scored again.
Attacking from the wings were Sam Leavesley
and Dylan Agbarha and their attacking
presence led to Alfie’s second and St Bart’s
fourth. Jack Hayman then hit the underside of
the bar with his left peg which was unlucky,
but funny to watch. Mary Hare then finally
managed to break down a superior Bart’s
defence to score a second despite calls for the
striker being rather offside.
James Herbert had a solid debut for St Bart’s
as they ran out 4-2 winners to win the first
game of the season.
MOTM: Year 13 BTEC sport boys!

Year 8 Football- St Bart’s v Trinity
The match between St Bart’s and Trinity took
place on 12 February 2015. It was a very close
game to start with, with both teams having
various chances. However, towards the end of
the first half, two long balls and a fast striker
left the score 2-0 to Trinity at the end of the
first half.
Heads were down during the half time team
talk, but some inspirational words from
Mr Meddle left the St Bart’s team raring to go.
It was the dream start for St Bart’s and within
five minutes it was back to 2-2. The goals
came from Oliver Paul with a well struck shot
from outside the box and a through ball to Dan
Stevenson which allowed him to power it
home from short range.
After that it went all St Bart’s way. Chances
and more chances came but St Bart’s were
unable to find the third important goal. Late
into the half the goal came. An error from the
Trinity centre back left Dan Stevenson one-on-
one with the keeper and he tucked it away. The
rest of the match continued with St Bart’s
dominating and finished with a good 3-2
victory which should take us into the semi-
final.
GIRLS’ PE Sixth Form Netball
The Sixth Form team won last
week against Kennet 32-8 in a
league match. Well done to Christie Leach
who was awarded player of the match.

Lacrosse
The Year 8 team participated in the National
Schools Tournament on 2 March. All members
performed very well against some excellent
opposition consisting of Berkhamsted,
Walthamstow hall, St Catherine’s, St Alban’s
and Bedford.
Despite not winning any matches in their pool,
which fielded the winning school and semi
finalists, the girls gave 100% and put up a
strong fight in all their games. They were
unlucky in their final few matches, defending
well and unfortunate not to convert several
opportunities in front of goal.
The girls have learned some valuable lessons
in the process which leads nicely into their
final tournament at the Junior West Rally on
7 March.
Well done to all the girls involved but extra
praise to Emma James and Abi Livingston for
an exceptionally good effort in defence.
Squad – captains Emily Mayo and Lorna Bird;
Daisy Stratton, Maddy Mitton, Hannah Grey,
Mia Eldridge, Izzie Hole, Sophie Stancombe,
Ottilie Sanderson, Alice Barr, Sienna Edwards,
Beth Robinson, Daisy Perks, Molly Robinson,
Ellen Grace, Megan Bowey and Grace
Twyford.
