Thursday 10th March at Parkside - U12's district netball tournament

Our U12s girls performed extremely well at the district netball tournament where they won 5 and drew one game throughout the tournament. Usually that record would normally leave Witton winning the tournament but unfortunately Parkside equalled our record and just pipped Witton to the winners medals on goal difference. Nevertheless the girls were very happy with their silver medals - Miss Young was super proud of our children's attitude, skill and resilience throughout and she even suggested that they were the best team that she had seen in her time coaching netball! Well done Witton!

Witton A  7-0 Westacre A

Witton B 9-1 Westacre B

Wednesday 9th March at WBA - U11's girls football

The girls travelled to Birmingham to take part in a country competition where the winning team received the opportunity to represent WBA in the Premier  League stars tournament. The tournament was a very different for our girls with it being the first time that they had to get used to playing with no pitch boundaries - Where it was ok to continue playing off the boards - The rules also meant that when a team lead by more than 3 goals, the other team could gain additional players.

Our girls were magnificent throughout the competition and despite picking up some niggly injuries on the way, the girls pulled together every step of the way. The girls convincingly won the group stage against tough opposition - Winning 5 and drawing 1 game. 

In the semi finals - The girls were missing two of their key players due to injury but that allowed the opportunity for two other children to start the game. The girls grabbed the opportunity with both hands and were instrumental and a solid start to the the game. The girls ran out 4-0 winners and even ended the game with 4 players vs 7 players.

In the final, Mr Tudgay was pleased to have all of the girls available. Witton would play against a team they had already beaten 2-0 in the group stage (Which suggested our group was very tough). Witton played against a strong Bleakhouse team but quickly made an excellent start with a fantastic team goal. The girls continued to dominate and ran out comfortable 4-0 winners with a hat-trick to end for the voted referees player of the tournament. 

A fantastic tournament and brilliant performances throughout - Witton now progress to the regional finals where they will represent WBA FC at Aston Villa FC

During the games on Thursday, all of the children were fantastic and the 2 games of football were outstanding. If ever there was an advocate for school/grassroots football then these games were certainly that.

On Wednesday, Witton took 2 teams to the EFL cup competition at Worcester university. Both teams arrived early and were clearly prepared for when the tournament began. Both teams got off to a flyer by winning their first games convincingly. Both teams remained unbeaten going into their 3rd game where they would have to face each other as part of the league format. The A team eventually ran out 2-0 winners but it was very clear that both teams were playing to an excellent standard. The teams continued to progress and finished off in strong league positions. The B team managed to finished 3rd and were very unlucky not to gain 2nd place - A goal scored in the last 2 seconds of the game cost them a place in the next round. The A team finished the tournament as league winner, winning 7 games and drawing one. They will now progress to the next stage of the competition at the start of January.

Thursday 14th October - Year 7  football County cup - Witton vs Tudor Grange (Home)

Witton 1 vs 3 Tudor Grange Academy (TGA)

 

On Thursday, Witton took on TGA in the Y7 county cup. The game started with Witton looking comfortable in possession and looking like the team wanting to play the passing game from the off. TGA looked very energetic, fast and powerful which in turn had the making of a fantastic football match. It was TGA who did eventually take the lead following a wonderful strike. Witton looked slightly shaken from conceded and a lapse in concentration allowed the TGA winger an opportunity to double the scoring, in which he did in fine fashion.

 

First half Witton 0 v 2 TGA

 

The second half began and Witton had the bit between their teeth. The boys clearly wanting to put the scoreline right and created some fantastic early chances. Witton eventually did find a way back into the game following a long range effort from Max W which bobbled under the keeper. 

 

Witton continued to push forward and looked likely to get the game back level. Harry had a good opportunity but the keeper made a fine save, Leo dragged his shot wide, Max hit the crossbar with a free kick and superb defending saw Finnley have his effort blocked.

 

With Witton trying to chase an equaliser, it left our defence open and TGA sealed the game with another very good finish.

 

A tough defeat to take for the boys but they can see areas where they can develop as a team and will put those in to preparation for their next game. Well done Witton!

 

Full time: Witton 1 vs 3 TGA

 

Wednesday 13th October  - Year 6 district football tournament - Boys and girls (Away)

Boys - Final (Winners/1st place)

Girls - Final (Runners up/ 2nd place via penalties)

 

On Wednesday, Witton entered a Y6 boys and girls team into the ESFA District County cup. Both teams were in high spirits on the coach as they went through their pre match tactics with Mr Tudgay.

Both teams began their tournament playing in the opening match and were quickly tipped as the favourites for the competition following convincing wins. They continued in this fashion throughout the tournament which saw both teams finishing winners of their groups. 

In the semi final, both our teams were faced against Westacre. The girls sealed their place in the final with an outstanding golden goal winner, whilst the boys showed their dominance with a comprehensive victory. 

 

In the final, our girls faced Aston Fields who they had previously beaten 1-0 in the group stage. The girls, went into the game confident and had the best opportunities to score but despite their best efforts the game ended 0-0. Extra time still couldn't separate the teams and all that was left was a dreaded penalty shootout.... Unfortunately for our Witton girls, we ended up with the same fate as England at the Euros and sadly lost via penalties. The girls should be really proud of themselves for their outstanding performances, efforts, behaviour and attitudes, and although not progressing to county level, they did finish with smiles and 2nd place medals around their necks.

 

The boys faced St John's in the final and very quickly took a one nil lead. Despite numerous fantastic chances to extend this lead, the game stayed 1-0 and Witton became the Y6 7v7 District champions. As well as the girls, the boys put in incredible performances throughout whilst showing a brilliant attitude, learning behaviour and effort. The boys now progress on to the County stages of the competition and were very happy to have 1st place medals around their neck.

 

The tournaments showed our children's fantastic football skills but more importantly, Mr Tudgay couldn't be any prouder of the children for the way in which both teams supported, guided and helped each other. All pupils were amazing credits to Witton Middle School. Well done Witton!

 

Thursday 7th October

 

Bredon Hill Academy 5-9 Witton Middle School (Year 6)

 

Witton travelled to Bredon Hill Academy in the quarter finals of the County cup on Thursday. The team were in high spirits and the journey allowed the team to digest the tactics ready for the game. 

 

Witton started the game brightly and were quickly ahead following a fantastic team move in which Cam crossed the ball for Charlie to complete a first time finish.

 

Witton continued to dominate and Cam was causing the opposition problems. He drove brilliantly with the ball four times in quick succession and completed a fine first half hat trick.

 

Archie P was keen to mark his first appearance with a goal, and he did so, dancing past two defenders before slotting home. 

 

A dominant first half for Witton who did concede late on to an excellent long range shot which Joe had no chance of saving. 

 

Half time Bredon Hill 1 vs 5 Witton

 

The second half allowed Mr Tudgay chance to experiment with the positions and formation of the team. Connor replaced Joe in goal and Freddie, Ethan R and Aston all made an appearance. 

 

Bredon Hill started the second half well and managed to score three quick fire goals. Good defending from Huey, Duggy, Ethan and Oscar meant that Witton didn't concede anymore. Witton responded well and hit back when Archie P was fouled in the area. Frankie stepped up to take the penalty and calmly slotted it in the corner. 

 

The game was completed when Aston finished the scoring with a close range effort following a save by the keeper from a Cam shot.

 

A fantastic performance from our year 6 team who I believe will only get better and better. Attitude, effort and willingness to learn means that the team are a delight to work with.

 

Full time: Bredon Hill 5 vs 9 Witton
