seeing PSC take a 3-0 lead. In the second half the
Austrian students scored 2 goals and prevented any

College Sport Maker Successes

2. PETER SYMONDS COLLEGE SPORT MAKER | Issue 2 2
In September 2014 the college started
Recreational Futsal sessions on a Friday
lunchtime in the sports hall.
Futsal is a five-a-side game, normally played
on a flat indoor pitch with hockey sized goals
and a size 4 ball with a reduced bounce. It is
played to touchlines and all players are free
to enter the penalty area and play the ball
over head-height. Games are 20 minutes per
half, played to a stopping clock (similar to
basketball) with time-outs permitted.
In January the sessions changed to a league
which saw 6 teams enter. Of these team, the
best individual players were selected to
make a college side.
Will, Seb, Kieran, George, Jack, Nink, Sagar
and Floran have all become the PSC Futsal
Team.
This year they have played competitively
agains Queen Mary’s College twice, Alton
College twice and Sparsholt College. They
won all matches against Queen Mary’s and
Alton and narrowly lost to Sparsholt in a
tough game
where the
final score
was 14-10 to
Sparsholt.
September 2015 we hope to enter the boys
into a local Futsal League where they will get
to play more colleges in the local Hampshire
Area.
