Schools Out For Summer

Wow! What a year

Dear parents,
I just wanted to thank you for the incredibly generous gifts you gave me on Wednesday and what a lovely surprise it was to receive it at the Leavers’ Concert. I really hope you enjoyed the concert. I thought they were brilliant.
Thank you for supporting me all through this year and my best wishes to all the families leaving Luckwell – you will be missed. This class have been an absolute joy to teach and I couldn’t have wished for a better class of children to end my time in year 6. I am so proud of them all.
I hope you all have a wonderful summer holiday and I’ll be thinking of you in September.
Best wishes
Julia Christmas

Luckwell v South Street

Luckwell v South Street
14th March

Luckwell played their second game in 2 days looking to keep the momentum going.

The pitch was very muddy but Luckwell passed the ball well from the start and clearly dominated from the off. The defence were cool and the midfield energetic while their defence was constantly troubled by our strikers.

As the pressure built it seed only a matter of time until the first goal came. Jack coolly finished after a good work throughout the team. The lead was doubled before half time when George took the ball past most of the South Street team and fired the ball past the keeper.

The second half carried on in much the same manner. Luckwell kept the ball and had a number of attacking phases of play. Our defence calmly subdued any pressure that an increasingly frustrated South Street had. Jack scored 2 more goals before he was injured in a tackle that led to him being injured and Luckwell were awarded their third penalty in 3 games. George stepped up and made no mistake this time. Despite pressure from Luckwell chances were never taken although there eas some fantastic play between Myles and Louis. George scored another well deserved goal before the final whistle.

The final score was Luckwell 6 South Street 0.

Lukwell v St Mary Redcliffe

Hopefully the sports blog will appear on the 'whats new' page soon!!!

Luckwell v St Mary Redcliffe
13th March

Luckwell played league leaders Redcliffe in a double header. Both teams knew that it was an important game and the Redcliffe players were very vocal about the fact they were going to win the league.

Luckwell began the game with an excellent attitude and immediately started to dominate the game. The midfield took control and soon started to create chances, but the Redcliffe keeper made a few timely saves.

After a bit of pressure the ball fell to Louis who calmly slotted the ball into the back of the net. The Luckwell defence were ready to defend but were never really threatened in the first half and Mo hardly touched the ball.
Ten minutes into the game George got the ball in his own half and slid a perfect pass up the pitch. Jack hit it first time doubled Luckwell’s lead. For the second game running Luckwell were awarded a penalty and for the second game running we missed it (we must change our penalty taker).

At half time Luckwell were leading 2-0 and readied themselves for considerable pressure as Redcliffe attempted to save the game. Fortunately the expected pressure never came and our defence hardly broke sweat. Jack scored his second of the game after a fantastic run and then George finally had a bit of luck. After seeing 2 tremendous shots and a penalty saved earlier in the game he then scored a hat-trick in less than 5 minutes.

Well done boys for a fantastic display from every player.
Thanks to Fred and Leigh for refereeing.

Final score
Luckwell 6
St Mary Redcliffe 0

Luckwell v Victoria Park

Luckwell v Victoria Park29th Febuary 2008Luckwell began their 2nd league game with a quick lead when Jack scored a goal 60 seconds into the game, Luckwell created a lot of chances and luckily Jack finished them and scored 2 more goalsMohammed and his defence controlled the Victoria Park attack letting no player get a shot on goal. A lovely through ball led to Jack scoring his 4th goal. Luckwell immediately forced another shot on goal and it deflected of the Victoria Park centre back sending the ball into the back of the Victoria Park goal. Jack scored another before the half time whistle blew with the score being Luckwell 6 Victoria Park 0The second half began with Victoria Park trying to fight back but with Luckwell still dominating the game despite the by now very heavy rain. The Luckwell goals kept on coming with Louis and George both finding the back of the net and joining Jack on the scoresheet. The defence held firm whenever Victoria Park tried to break away and we never looked like conceding a goal.

At the end of the match the final score was Luckwell 14 Victoria Park 0.

Thanks to all of our very wet supporters.

Man of the match was Jack for scoring 10 goals.

Parson Street v Luckwell

Luckwell vs Parson Street
Monday 11th February

Luckwell began their league campaign against high flying Parson Street on a lovely sunny evening. Right from the start it was obviously going to be tough game and both teams battled to gain the upper hand. Neither team had any clear cut chances and both defences looked very strong.

Parson Street began to have more possession but were prevented from having any shots on goal. Luckwell seemed to be coming back into the game and it was against the run of play when Parson Street took the lead with a well taken finish. Luckwell responded well and spent the rest of the half pushing forward and creating chances. However, a combination of good defending and bad luck meant that the half time whistle game with Luckwell still being a goal behind.

A couple of changes at half time and we carried on playing on the front foot. We had countless corners and shots on goal but it looked like we were never going to score. It was Parson Street who had the luck and they doubled their lead with their only chance of the half.

Luckwell never gave up and kept on playing some brilliant football. We won yet another corner on the left wing and George put in a fantastic ball. Jack jumped highest and headed the ball past the Parson Street keeper. From then on it was constant pressure from Luckwell. As the game was drawing to a close good work down the left saw the ball fall to George who turned and shot low to equalise.

A minute or so later the final whistle went and the final score was Parson Street 2 Luckwell 2.

Player of the match was Leighton for a great second half

Luckwell v St Teresas

Sorry but Mr Woodcock has 'borrowed' the Y6 blog as we don't have a specific sports blog yet!!!

Luckwell v St Teresa’s
Coronation cup match 7th February


Luckwell began their football season with an away cup match on the other side of the city.

We started playing up very steep hill but immediately began to take control of the game. The boys quickly got used to playing on a small pitch and didn’t allow their opponents to settle on the ball and started doing some fantastic passing. This led to a couple of changes that either went wide or were saved. Our luck was to changed as Jack latched on to a great pass and shot past the keeper into the corner of the net.

Shortly afterwards Luckwell gave away a penalty. Fortunately it went wide and Luckwell began to push forward. This led to another goal from George before half time.

Playing downhill Luckwell started to build pressure with some fantastic running from midfield and a solid defence. Jack scored twice more before St Teresas scored a breakaway goal. Jack scored his fourth goal of the game to make it Luckwell 5 St Teresa’s 1 before we conceded 2 more late goals.

The final score was 5-3 to Luckwell. Well played everyone and thank you for all our excellent support.

Man of the match was Jack Carey.
