Year 8 Boys v Summerhill

The Year 8 Boys team were unable to break a miserable run of results for the school as they slipped to a second successive defeat at the hands of disciplined Summerhill team. Dan Pritchard scored a wonderful goal and Connor Grove netted twice in quick succession but still ran out losers 4-3 on the night.

Year 9 Boys Football v Ellowes Hall School

The year 9 Boys Football team threw away a 3-1 advantage against a good Ellowes Hall team. Shane Grainger had scored twice before James Thompson curled a fantastic shot past the Keeper to give Thorns what should have been a winning margin. What happened next was most improbable as straight from the kick off the Ellowes Hall striker went on a mazy run beating 4 or 5 Thorns players before smashing the ball home past Matt Hall in the Thorns goal. Even at 3-2 Thorns didn't seem comfortable and it was little surprise when Ellowes snatched an equaliser after Thorns failed to clear the ball. With the game headed for a draw which was probably the fairest result Thorns found themselves wanting at the back as a mix up between Hall and Jones allowed the striker to run through on goal and score an easy tap in. With only seconds remaining Thorns had no time left to reply.
