Y7 & 8 Girls Rugby Tournament

15 May at Druid Park

This was the last contact rugby tournament for the girls this year and both teams played with fantastic commitment and effort. Its really pleasing to see how much progress they’ve made this year. The standard of rugby from all teams involved was particularly high and it was great to see Newminster girls playing at this level. Well done!

There will be one last rugby tournament for all these girls on Monday 6th July on Tynemouth beach! They will be there for almost the full day.

Y8 Cricket Tournament

18 May at Longhirst.

We took 1 boys team and 1 girls team to this event and it was very pleasing to see them play some great cricket despite the pouring rain!

The lads played well in a very high standard tournament  and the girls made fantastic progress in their first attempt at the game.

U13s Girls Football League

18 May.

The girls football season has finally drawn to a close on what has undoubtedly been our most successful U13s girls team.

Despite just missing out on winning the league to add to their status of County Cup Finalists, they have played some fantastic football. Much more importantly they have played throughout the competition with unbelievable determination and positive attitude.

This was epitomized on the final 2 nights of the tournament: on the penultimate night with the league title still possible and some key players missing, the available girls said they would rather play and ‘die trying’ than forfeit the game; and on the last night with the league finished and only friendlies to play they insisted on playing.

A wonderful attitude to have!
