Victoria Park 1 mile run
Wed 18 May 2016On Wednesday 18th May we took 17 year 5 and 6 children to compete in the 1 mile race, organised by Southport and Waterloo. It was a great night and all the children who took part showed great determination and team spirit. We were particularly successful with Year 5 boys who managed to come 3rd as a team: Arthur Weights, Rhys Graham, Ivo Melyov and Edward Sandys. Our year 6 girls also came 3rd as a team : Chloe Sutton, Millie Ireland, Bethan Kirwan and Marni Gilmour. We were extremely proud of the whole team, most staying and cheering each other on in the other races. Well done you should all be proud of your achievement.

Greenall Cup Final - B vs C Team
Wed 11 May 2016Tonight saw FRJS's B and C football teams go head to head in the Southport School's Greenall Cup Final. The teams had both fought hard to reach the final and were rewarded with a trip to Southport FC's ground, Haig Avenue.
The first half started at a ferocious pace. With chances for both sides. The C team came very close to scoring three times, however magnificant saves from Daniel kept the C team off the score sheet. Just as the half was about to end, the B team then worked a well crafted goal (courtesy of Oliver) to go one up.
The second half was much the same with chances for both teams. However the B team were well set up for their corners, taking advantage of their heading skills with a goal at the far post to lead 2-0.
The final sections saw the B team grab few extra goals to secure the victory. The C team kept the B team honest throughout, as Daniel again made some heroic saves to stop Eric from scoring.
The match was played with a fantastic spirit, enthusiasm and attitude from all, who were a credit to FRJS. Well done boys and girls!

A Team Win Two Cup Matches!
Fri 22 Apr 2016Our A Team have had a great week competing in 2 cup matches.
The footballers won their Duddy Shield Quarter Final match against OLOL at Birkdale High on Tuesday 19th April. The team played very well on a dry bumpy pitch in warm conditions to book their place in the next stage.
The team fell behind to a goal in the first section of the game as they found it hard to master the tricky conditions. However, as the game progressed, the boys found their form and they eventually triumphed with goals from Rico, Lawrie and a hatrick from Lucas who scored all of his goals in the final portion of the match.
On Thursday, the team followed up this performance with a victory against St Patrick's in the Laurie Parr Trophy Semi Final. The boys won 5-2 which could have been many more but for an excellent opposition keeper. The scorers were Theo (2) Lucas (2) and Jack W. This means that the team have booked a trip to Haig Avenue for the final against Churchtown in mid May.
Special thanks to Mr Walmsley for his management of the team this week. Further mentions to the parents who helped with all the organisation needed to run the games. .

C Team reach Greenall Cup final!
Wed 20 Apr 2016This evening the C team played their semi-final tie against Norwood for a place in the Greenall Cup final at Haig Avenue.
In lovely weather, both teams took part in an energetic game that held lots of chances for both teams. In the end, the Farnborough C came out on top with a 4-0 win after a strong team performance that included fantastic defending from Tristan, Jack, Morgan and Daniel, brilliant goalkeeping from James and three fantastic goals from Eric on his return. To top it all off Morgan bagged a surprise long-range effort for the team's fourth.
Well done to all involved!
