ETC 4 WILLINGDON 6

ETC have looked confident in the run up to this fixture, the girls have trained hard and the majority have shown great commitment. Jodie Nulty lead by example in Centre and drove the team in attacks and when defending. Again Willingdon have a very strong experienced squad so ETC needed to be on the ball for this game. At half time ETC were 2-1 up with Katie Booysen scoring for us. The 1st 5 minutes of the second half saw Willingdon come at us, ETC held off 3 or 4 attacks but they finally broke through Heather Charlton, Amy Stepney and Taz Adcock after about 7 minutes to equalise. From then on Willingdon scored another 4 goals, but ETC were still not down and out. 6-2 down the last couple of minutes saw some good attacking play from Laura Kosvic, Jodi, Katie and Shanice Weston to bring ETC back to 6-4. However with the clock ticking we ran out of time, another couple of minutes cold have seen ETC equalise. The girls played a superb match and have left us confident about the rest of the season.

MVP- JODIE NULTY “Great captain, and good work rate”.

Tuesday 16th October: YEAR 9 NETBALL

ETC 4 WILLINGDON 2

ETC had only 6 players 15 minutes before the game, thankfully Sam Kelly (year 10) stepping in as GK with Willingdons consent and played very well. ETC made a fantastic start to the game. Willingdon are renowned for having strong Netball teams, so when ETC took the lead through Lola Olusanya, it filled the girls with a huge confidence that they could actually compete if not beat this team. Willingdon equalised just before the end of the first half, but ETC still looked comfortable in the game. The second half saw a great battle between the 2 teams; this is by far the best that ETC have played. Imagine how good they would be if they trained. Well done to all involved.

MVP- LOLA OLUSANYA “work rate and shooting was excellent” and JESS GOUVEIA “made a huge difference to our defence, marked extremely well and showed good ball distribution”.

ETC 0 CAVENDISH 8

ETC were put under pressure very early on into this match, with some good passing moves from Cavendish. 2 early goals in the 1st 15 minutes left ETC on the back foot, struggling to regain composure. Cavendish then went on to score another 3 before half time.
The second half saw ETC start to lift their game and compete with Cavendish, Barney Feek almost getting on the end of a couple of through balls, and Matt Veness getting a one on one with the keeper. However the difference between the 2 teams was the Cavendish Captain, he controlled all the play, and assisted another 3 goals for Cavendish to complete their victory.

RATTON 2 ETC 2

OLUSANYA 1, OMAR 1.

A rocky start for ETC, it was clear in the first 5 minutes that Ratton relied heavily on one player to create chances for them. Without Hannah Blundell (captain) in central midfield, Jasmin Izzard was called upon to mark the Ratton threat out of the game.
The first half was very end to end, our only threat coming from Lauren Hughes corners, which unfortunately ETC could not get on the end of. Shots coming from Shantelle Omar, Lauren Hughes (captain), Immy Robinson and Jasmin Izzard could still not give ETC the lead. With all the attempts on goal, including a missed penalty; and the possession we had it was very disappointing to go in 0-0 at half time.

The second half saw Ratton come at us, forcing Charleigh Crotty to make 3 or 4 fantastic saves. Finally we got a break through 15 minutes into it, with a ball down the wing to Lola who then ran at Rattons defence, to release an early shot into the bottom right corner. Moments later ETC lost the ball in their own half for Rattons pacey left winger to run the ball all the way to ETCs goal for a tap in.

ETC lost some composure, losing possession again but this time to Rattons most influential player, who then went on to put Ratton 2-1 up.
With moments to go, ETC threw everything they could at them, Robinson coming close to equalise, and Omar hitting the post. A half chance then fell to Shantelle Omar just on the edge of the area, she hit the ball on the half volley that looped over the keeper into the top left corner. A very well taken goal, final score 2 all.

MOM: CHARLEIGH CROTTY “ETC could have lost this game by 3 or 4 goals, if it wasn’t for Charleighs saves”.

Another hard working performance in terrible conditions. Four defensive errors led to Four Ratton goals. They must learn to cut out basic defensive mistakes in order to improve next game.

Thursday 4th October: YEAR 9 BOYS FOOTBALL

ETC 0 RATTON 2
ETC faced a Ratton team who had defeated them 7-2 last season without Alsop, Smith and Maryan.
Despite continuous pressure in the first half, ETC could not find a break through. Mulhern, Olusanya, Nealey and Marodza all going close. The defence was superb, and Ratton had very little chances to score.
The second half was more even. With just 5 minutes to go, it was still 0-0, but two defensive lapses in concentration led to 2 Ratton goals and 3 points.
MOM- JOE MARODZA “Creative in Midfield and unlucky with two good efforts”.

Wednesday 3rd October: YEAR 8 GIRLS NETBALL

ETC 1 BISHOP BELL 14
First game of the season for the year 8s, and it certainly was a wake up call. It has given the girls plenty to work on if they want to improve for future games. A positive taken from the game was that ETC managed to score, showing that Bishop Bell were not impossible to break down.
MVP- LAUREN WILDER “hard work throughout and a good team motivator”

Wednesday 3rd October; YEAR 9 GIRLS NETBALL

ETC 2 BISHOP BELL 16
OMAR 1, SALISBURY 1.
A tough fixture for ETCs first game, Bishop Bell started fast. Every attack led to a goal, with some clinical passing. ETC lost possession too easily in the first half and almost gifted Bishop Bell.
The second half saw some better play from ETC, Lola Olusanya, Tash Guthrie, Toni Robertson upped their games. We were competing well with Bishop Bell but did not take all our chances. A lesson learnt I feel.
MVP- SHANNON ROGERS “Great marking which resulted in several interceptions, encouraging ETC attacks”

Wednesday 3rd October: YEAR 8 BOYS

ETC 4 RATTON 4
BRIDGER, WOOD, SPENCER, NEWMAN
After being humiliated in their previous game, the year 8 Team had a lot to prove.
ETC started positively and had a good move down the right by Findlayson and Wood resulted in Bridger scoring from 12 yards. The second soon followed when a long ball forward by Dunne was latched onto by Wood who finished well.
Ratton upped their game and replied with two well taken goals to equalise. Just before half time a managerial master stroke by Bowles, replaced Dunne and Findlayson with super subs Newman and Scotcher. They combined to force a corner from which Spence volleyed home from 20 yards.
After half time ETC extended their lead to 4-2, when Scotcher feed Wood whose shot was parried and Newman was in the right place at the right time.
With time running out, Ratton pushed more players forward and put ETC under tremendous pressure, and they found the twice to equalise again at 4-4.
MOM: CONNOR BRIDGER “Great work rate, 1 goal and 1 assist”.

Tuesday 2nd October: YEAR 11 BOYS FOOTBALL

ETC 0 BISHOP BELL 4
ETC were outclassed by a confident looking Bishop Bell team. We soaked up a lot of pressure in the first half; however 4 quick goals in the second half clinched it for Bishop Bell. ETC had some good performances from Matt Veness, Glen Crowhurst, Luke Gower and Corey Godwin.

MOM- MATT VENESS “Didn’t stop working and got stuck in”

ETC 1 HAILSHAM 5
BOWLES 1.
Hailsham boy Bowles got himself on the score sheet for the first time this season. A menacing run forward and a pin perfect pass by Mr Moore, deflected off Mr Bowles’ shin to sneak pass Hailshams SCOTTISH INTERNATIONAL Goal keeper, who could only watch as it trickled past the goal line!
Unfortunatley it was an injury ridden day for ETC, Mr Booth, Mr Jones, Mr Stewart, Mr Sams, PC Davies and the returning Mr Atkinson all hobbled off the pitch looking worse for wear. Congratulations to the remaining 6 players that were still able to walk off the pitch at full time.
MOM- MR HOBBS “Some great keeping kept the score line down”.

If it wasn’t from some top class saves from the Seaford Keeper, ETC would have ran into double figures.

Monday 24th September; YEAR 7 GIRLS NETBALL

CAUSEWAY beat ETC
BISHOP BELL beat ETC
Having had low representation of year 7 girls at the netball trials, the season was not looking promising for ETC. With fixtures looming, and a lot of hard work and persistence from Hollie Marshall and Kayla McCarthy we finally pulled together a squad to play their first triangular fixture.
Causeway was the first game, and although ETC had not practised together things were looking pretty even to start with, some good passing and moving from Hollie Marshall, Mel Kelly and Courtney Saunderson could not be converted for ETC. However the very tall GA and GS for Causeway did not need asking twice and scored from all of their opportunities, despite some good defensive play from Tshana Curtis.
Next ETC had Bishop Bell, well known for having strong netball teams. Bishop Bell started well. With a Centre that dictated their whole game Hollie Marshall had her work cut out. ETC pulled together and worked hard, but Bishop Bell were too good. Some positives were taken from the game however, with Hollie Carter, Eve Drummond and Charlotte Freeman showing character and battling hard to make it difficult for the Bishop Bell players. WELL DONE TO ALL INVOLVED!!
MVP- KAYLA McCARTHY “Did not stop working and created some promising attacks”
