Marden 4-4 Churchill

The U15s served up a thrilling match at home to Chuchill, with a last minute equaliser saving a point and maintaining an unbeaten start to their season.

Missing Josh Harrison, who had scored 5 of their 6 goals against George Stephenson a fortnight earlier, the Year 10 team went 1-0 down after 7 minutes as the away side started stronger.

They hit back in a pulsating first half, stand-in striker Reece Maddison equalising after 15 minutes with a close range volley, and Owen Kennedy hitting a long ranger into the bottom corner 20 minutes in.

The lead lasted just three minutes, as a smart volley from Churchill levelled it up at 2-2 with a well taken half-volley, but Marden took a 3-2 lead into the break when Maddison got his second of the game just two minutes before the break.

Churchill ramped up the pressure in the second half, dominating long periods as they shot downhill, and it took them just 5 minutes to square it up again at 3-3. A fourth was denied them by goalkeeper Matthew Penman as he tipped a shot onto the bar, and after rattling the post their pressure finally resulted in taking a 4-3 lead halfway through the second half.

As Marden piled forward in search of an equaliser with just a couple of minutes to go, a half cleared corner fell to debutant central defender Aidan Rowan, who placed his shot cooly into the bottom corner from the edge of the box to earn a draw.

Well done to all who took part for their attitude, work rate and teamwork.

Year 10: Marden High 6-1 George Stephenson

The Year 10 boys got off to an excellent start to their campaign with an impressive 6-1 victory over George Stephenson, although the result somewhat flattered the hosts who were tested throughout by a resilient George Stephenson team.

A first half hat-trick from Josh Harrison and a strike from Reece Maddison put Marden 4-0 up at half time before a consolation from the away side. Matthew Penman also saved a penalty and tipped another effort onto the bar to halt any sign of a fightback, and Harrison added two more late on to complete the rout.

 

Year 8: Marden Bridge 1-2 Marden High

The year 8s were impressive on the astroturf against a tough Marden Bridge team, Leon Bell grabbing both the goals in a win against a side that had comprehensively beaten them last season.

Coach Mr Richards was delighted with the graft, attitude and commitment of all involved.

Year 7 Settling In Evening

By J Ranson21st September 2017

Wednesday 4 October 2017 17.30-19.30

Our Year 7 ‘Settling In’ evening is an opportunity to meet your child’s form tutor and discuss how they have started their time at Marden High School, both socially and academically. Other key members of staff will also be present for you to speak to, including Miss Laing (Year Coordinator), and members of our Senior Leadership team, including Mrs Reece, our SENDCO.

You will also be able to meet members of our Parent Teacher Association who will be serving refreshments.

Appointments will run from 17.30 – 19.30, and your child will be given a slip for you to indicate your preferred time slot before receiving an appointment from their form tutor. As meetings with form tutors will be brief (five minutes) we ask that you are punctual for your allocated slot.

Year 7 reports will sent home and available on Parent Portal before this date.

If you cannot make it on the evening, you can contact Miss Laing to arrange a phone call to discuss your child’s progress at another time.

We are looking forward to seeing you there.
