Sporting Success

A massive congratulations to the Year 6 boys for a fantastic rounders tournament tonight. We are extremely pleased to say that we are joint winners with Four Oaks! The boys won all three group matches. They then went through to a nerve racking final.  Both teams scored six rounders, so we went in to extra time and drew again with 1 ½ rounders each. The officials decided to award us joint first place.Well done for such amazing sportsmanship, teamwork and for putting in so much effort to the games.

We are immensely proud of you! A big thank you to the parents as well for supporting the boys.

Well done to everyone who helped us collect so many vouchers.
