A culmination of a two year journey was seen at the Moorways Stadium on Monday 1st March 2010, with the Year 11 Football team defeating Murray Park 2-1.  It was a thrilling encounter with a lot of talent on display.  Tibshelf began nervously as Murray Park took the initiative and had the better possession.  Tibshelf however, soon began to show a bit of composure and passed the ball forward to Jack Horton and Jonathan Wafula.  Neither side really carved out a clear cut opportunity until Jim Green unleashed a 30 yard thunderbolt that was destined for the top corner the moment it left his boot.  Stevie Gerrard would be proud!

Tibshelf then had a series of possession but failed to capitalize.  Owen Heather, Wafula and Horton were causing all sorts of problems.  Murray Park equalized after a quickly taken free kick created space down their right for the winger to cut in a place a 20 yard screamer beyond Dan Rickwood in goal.  The linesman however, failed to notice the winger in a marginal off-side position when accepting the ball.

The 2nd half saw a dogged display from Tibshelf, with a great deal of effort and enthusiasm across the park.  The better chances were being carved out by Tibshelf and Mike Williams was solid in the middle of the park.  Any chance of a Murray Park revival was quickly snuffed out by Lewis Bramley and Alex Sowerby at the back.  Wafula was causing problems with his skill and trickery, winning numerous free kicks.  It was from one such set piece that the winner was scored.  A pinpoint cross from Reece Wagstaffe was met from 6 yards by Wafula.  The Tibshelf drums then began to beat in ernest.  Murray Park never really got another opportunity whilst Wafula could have had a hat trick and late sub Josh Heath should also have got on the scoresheet.  The final whistle led to wild celebrations and the atmosphere of the Tibby crowd was electric.

Tibshelf Community School was one of three schools in the country to be selected to participate in ‘Drinkaware’s’ national campaign to raise awareness of alcohol issues.  Sue Allen (Head of PSHE/Citizenship) was delighted that Tibshelf was asked to participate as the issues explored support and enhance the PSHE curriculum.

On Thursday 11th February 2010 Emily Wass a Year 9 pupil at Tibshelf Community School was presented with a mountain bike, at Bolsover District Council, after winning a competition organized by the County to design a poster to raise the awareness of alcohol abuse.
