Congratulations to our brilliant cricket team who played in the schools district tournament at Chestfield Cricket Club on Wednesday. They played 3 group matches - won 2 and lost 1 and then had a nail biting wait to find out if they had made the Semi-Finals.


They made it through and having lost to Swalecliffe in the opening group match, we then beat them by 17 runs in the final to win the overall tournament. 

 

Well done to our victorious team for playing together so brilliantly as a team. The County Regional Finals here we come!

They played with positivity, determination and a
huge amount of skill and it was mentioned to me more than once by other coaches, that they were indeed an outstanding team. They have now progressed through to the county finals which will be played next week. Well done to everyone for representing the school so well.

Huge Congratulations to our 'Endowed' Hockey Team who won the Quicksticks Hockey Tournament organised by the Sports Game Coastal Partnership. The children had been practising in their lunch times and were very excited to put their skills into play.

Having beaten Davington, we won our group. We then won our quarter-finals 5-0 against Herne Bay Juniors and semi-finals against St Mary's 3-0. In the final we faced Herne Juniors in a repeat of the first game. The team defended heroically and scored the break away goal to win the tournament. We now look forward to the county finals in Chatham in June."

Premier League Stars - 2nd place runners-up!

Tuesday 13 March 2018

 

Well done to our Girls football team who had the amazing opportunity to compete in the Premier League Primary Star Football Competition at the University of Kent.

 

Right from kick off the girls played with amazing confidence and comfortably won six group matches consecutively and succeeded in winning their semi-final 1-0 to gain their place in the final against Upton, who proved a disciplined and relentless team. The girls dug in deep and with a last minute shot hitting the post just before the final whistle the match ended in a nail-biting 0-0. In extra time a well organised Upton proved too strong and unfortunately scored two great goals earning them a place to play at the regional finals at Leicester City FC.
