The students had rehearsed for months to perfect routines, performing to musical numbers including ‘Simply The Best’ and Flashdance’. Mr Darren Bullock, Head of PE at the school, commented, “The three nights were fantastic successes. The students worked hard and showed their skills perfectly and entertained the audience all night. Many thanks to all those who took part. We would also like to thank the coaches, Mr Gary Watson, Mrs Jane Fallows and Mr Nick Fearett and especially Miss Zoe Fallows who created and choreographed many of the dance routines”.

Girls' Football Success
Written by Administrator

The Under13 Girls football team from Painsley Catholic College competed in the Port Vale Community Cup. The girls were up against strong competition but successfully won their league putting them through to the semi-finals. They were victorious and won 3-0 putting them into the final. They came across St Margaret Ward and nothing could separate the two sides at full time resulting in a penalty shoot-out. It was all square at 2 each and it was up to the last penalty taker for each side to clinch the tournament. Fortunately the opposition missed and Painsley scored sending them through to the Area finals.

The Finals took place at Dimensions Leisure Centre. The girls represented Port Vale wearing the first team kit and played against other area winners. They topped their league and went through to the semi-finals where they narrowly lost but all together a great achievement getting that far!

Year 7 Futsal teams recently competed in the South Moorlands Futsal Tournament at Cheadle Leisure Centre.The girls won all their games and finished top of the league and have gone through to the county finals which will take place on 21st May in Birmingham.Well done and good luck girls!!
