9.5 – U13 Girls Final league games
17.5 – Y7 Girls Rugby league tournament at St James Park – Winners!!
The girls headed to St James Park in an excited mood and were greeted with free T-shirts and wristbands. We were then walked through the stadium and out onto the pitch. The girls were in two teams and both performed really well coming top and joint top of their groups. Unfortunately due to the time there could be a final to decide the overall winner. But as one of the girls teams had scored more points than any other team and conceded the least they were considered overall winners. The girls then had to have lots of photographs taken with the trophies and current professional players and got the chance to chat to the players as well. I hope they all enjoyed it and are keen to play again next year.
18.5 – Y8 Girls Rugby tournament at Kingston Park – Winners!!
This was the last official tournament for pupils on grass. There is a beach tournament to come though at the end of term. It was a hot day and the teams that were at the tournament the girls hadn’t faced before, so it was nice for them to test themselves against new opposition. Both teams performed really well and played a lot of rugby, winning most of their games. I hope it was a nice way to finish off the year and hope they continue to play when they head up to the high school.
19.5 – Y5/6 High 5 Netball tournament at Coates – Winners!!
24.5 – Y5/6 Quadkids tournament at KEVI
Well done to all our pupils who took part in this event. We were one of only two schools who took three teams and even then competition at school for these places was fierce. If we were allowed, we could easily have put in a fourth team.
The competitors had to do a 75m sprint, 600m run, standing long jump and a howler throw. They were then awarded points for each discipline and the scores were added together for each team. Out of 12 competing teams, Team 3 finished 9th, Team 2 were 3rd and Team 1 were overall winners and now will represent the Area at the Summer Games in June.
Special mention goes to the following athletes for achieving Individual Quadkids awards –
Bronze – Orla C, Lucy M, Josh G, Izzy B, Roan P, Tom M, Sam P, Joe O
Silver – Tom W, Ollie B, Matty W, Olivia G (3rd placed girl overall!), Emma G (4th girl), Eadie B, Giorgio L-R
Gold – Ollie C, Finlay C, James M (2nd athlete overall), Harvey G (overall individual winner!)
25.5 – Y7/8 Cricket tournament at Longhirst
The Year 7&8 pupils headed to Longhirst to play in a kwik cricket tournament organised by Northumberland Cricket. It was a windy day but with many teams in attendance there were lots of games to be played. All teams played in the right spirit and seemed to enjoy the day. The boys A team got to the final and narrowly lost to a very strong Ponteland Middle side. The girls also did well with one team getting through to the semi final again losing to a strong Ponteland Middle team. Hopefully all teams enjoyed the day and will continue to develop their cricket skills over the remaining half term.
