The Worthing College Rugby Performance Programme have set up a top of the table British Colleges’ Elite League clash on January 4th with SEEVIC (Essex) after comprehensively defeating Richmond College 48-0 in their last fixture before the Christmas break. Worthing put in an effective team performance and touched down eight times. Nick White (2), Harry Green, Pat White, Jack Roberts, Dec Peake, Brad Parker and Charlie Watts crossing the whitewash. The boot of Bart Pegg accounted for the remaining eight points. Performance Coach Ben Coulson is excited about the clash with SEEVIC; “The squad has been working extremely hard in training and its great to see a talented group of players putting all that is practiced into a pressured match situation. Hopefully the players will do themselves justice in the SEEVIC match and if they do this the match will be an extremely entertaining affair.”
The Worthing College Women’s Football Performance Programme entertained Bexhill College in the Sussex Schools FA County Cup Worthing needed to bounce back from their BCS Non Elite Cup exit and they did this by putting ten goals past their opponents with no reply. Sophie Frost (2), Aliss Pidduck (2), Naomi Robinson (2), Becky Simmonds, Amy Potkins, Kirsten MacGregor and Darcey James were on target with Pidduck and Frost being the stand out performers on the day.
After two weeks without a match the Men’s Football Performance Programme 1st XI travelled to Basildon to play a strong SEEVIC side in the ECFA National Premier League. After a close first period with both teams adapting to the conditions it was Worthing, who struck first. Ryan Fergany’s diagonal pass was met by fellow winger Lee Mottershead, who calmly lofted the ball over the advancing SEEVIC keeper. With both teams creating chances and Worthing standing firm defensively it looked like the points were heading to the south coast, however SEEVIC had other ideas and with five minutes remaining a 25 yard volley evaded keeper James Binfield for the points to be shared. Worthing are now joint top with Kingston College, but have a game in hand and will travel to Kingston at the end of the month, which will surely go a long way to decide Worthing’s fate in their first season at National League level. The 2nd XI were in British Colleges’ Performance League action at Merrist Wood College of Guildford. Worthing squandered chances, but still managed to come away with a 7-0 victory to cement 2nd place in the league going into the new year. Chris Potkins (2), Abdoulie Bah, Jared Rance, Francisco Vasquez, Ryan Hallett and Toko Moyo were on target. Performance Coach Dave Hall can’t praise the group highly enough going into their Christmas break. “Both sides have performed excellently since the start of the season. The desire to develop as individuals and within a team shape has been fantastic and this has been evident with results on the pitch. Both sides are doing well in the league as well as the County Cup, but we all know nothing is won in December, so there is still plenty of hard work to put in if this group are going to realise their potential this season.”
The Netball Performance Programme had a week off from competitive fixtures, however Performance Coach Tina Price still had the squad in training even though they will not play until the new year. “Its really important that we keep the continuity going even though there was no fixture on the Wednesday. There have been a couple of areas that have come up on the video analysis that we need to put right as we have big matches and tournaments coming up in 2012. The girls attitudes have been first class and I can’t wait to see what 2012 brings for this group of players.”
Happy Christmas to ALL!!
