Cleveland High sets soccer benchmark

20 Aug, 2002 02:38 PM
Cleveland High soccer teams continued to set the benchmark for other schools with both boys and girls teams convincing winners against an outclassed Runcorn to remain on top of the competition.

Girls netball fought all the way for an extra time draw while boys volleyball continued to improve despite a straight sets loss.

Girls soccer controlled the game from the start with first half goals to Fiona MacDiarmid and Chantelle Hillier.

A second half scoring spree saw Fiona score three more goals and Chantelle complete a hat trick.

Hard working mid fielder Debbie Baker was rewarded with a well-struck goal after a number of close misses in recent weeks. Jessika Park had her usual strong game in defence as Cleveland raced away with an 8-0 victory.

Runcorns physical game was never a match for the superior teamwork and skills of Cleveland in boys soccer.

Goals by Troy Wood and Jo Cominski set the pattern for the first half.

After an early goal to Darryl Ives Cleveland relaxed allowing Runcorn to score from a defensive error.

Clevelands responded with their best passage of play bewildering their opponents with first time passes.

Goals to Ramone Close, Sean McGuigan and Brett Rudkin, a hat trick to Alex Lawton and a second from Darryl Ives completed a 10-1 final score.

The lead seesawed constantly in girls netball as Cleveland secured a 23 all draw in a tense and sometimes physical game.

Lisa Day and Lucy Gondwa worked hard opening up attacking play after vital intercepts at crucial points in the game by the Cleveland defence.

Boys volleyball fought hard throughout despite being outclassed by a skilful Runcorn team.

Chris Baillie showed excellent court coverage while Reece Bruin continued to serve well for a determined Cleveland team.

Cleveland teams expect more strong performances against Sandgate at home next week.
