- An outstanding afternoon of football saw the Junior school team win the Rural sports football
competition with a maximum of 21 points from 21. It was a team performance from the first kick
to the last which saw all outfield players getting on the score sheet, while conceding no goals.
The commitment from the boys matched up with their hard work in training this term. Thank you
to all parents who showed their support it was a really treat for all. Well done boys a
fantastic afternoon of football.

- Coach Jenny White commented: “It was a frustrating final match as I felt the girls could have won
that game and the Plate! Unfortunately, having already played 5 games and with injuries a
plenty (and some sore muscles from Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expeditions at the weekend)
the girls couldn’t quite get the ball into their shooting circle enough to make it count.
However, their potential does bode well for the League games”.

Amy Drayton, Ella Khafaji, Frankie Curran, Chloë Palmer, Sarah Camp, Vicky Benford and Tess Geraghty.

- These results led to a place in the Plate Semi-Final:

- Lost 3 – 5 v Princess Helena College
- Coach Jenny White commented: “Some of our players from training and previous matches
were ill or unable to play so the girls did tremendously well to get through to the
Plate Semi-Final where they only narrowly lost to PHC. The girls played cohesively
as a team and, considering we didn’t have any trained shooters with us,
our 5th place in the District was well-deserved”.
