Fantastic Football
Today our football team went to The Weald to play a tournament against other schools within the locality. The team demonstrated great football skills as well as fantastic communication and team work. They won their first game against Rudgwick 1-0 and moved straight on to their second game against Billingshurst which they also won 1-0. After a two game break they were back on the pitch playing against Barns Green, beating them 3-0. Next they played Slinfold, again beating them 3-0. Our last game was against Wisborough Green which ended in a 4-0 win to Plaistow and Kirdford. A huge well done to all the players for winning the tournament - we are very proud of you.
Tremendous Team Work!
Our netball team had their first opportunity to play a full netball match (4 quarters of 10 minutes each) this week when only 2 teams were available to play in the tournament at Collyers. It was all to play for at the start with Plaistow and Kirdford lying in 3rd position in the league, just behind our opposition, Heronway, who were in second. A win for our team would mean finishing this set of matches in a fantastic 2nd position behind Southwater. It was a very competitive match and a really fantastic learning opportunity for our children. Everyone played at their very best and the children sitting off in the rotations were amazing support, cheering our side on. We won the first quarter 6-3 and then just one the second quarter 1-0. Heronway made a comeback in the 3rd quarter, winning it 6-4. There was just one goal in it going into the final quarter and Heronway went ahead, scoring twice early on. Our amazing team dug deep putting in some amazing play and came back to score another 7 goals. The match finished 17-12 to Plaistow and Kirdford, meaning that our team finished a very worthy second overall. Well done to all our team, Mrs Parsons is extremely proud of you all.
