PE Round Up
This week saw a variety of fixtures taking place including County Cup football, District Basketball and District Table Tennis.
U14 County Cup Football:
Townsend started the game well against a strong St Michaels team in the County Cup last week. Lamech was able to score a goal midway through the first half, however, this was cancelled out by a well-worked goal from St Michaels. At half-time the score was 1-1. St Michaels started the second half strongly and managed to score 3 times in the first 15 minutes, making the game 4-1. Lamech was able to pull a goal back towards the end of the game with a penalty to make it 4-2. This defeat sees us enter the plate competition, so keep your eyes out for who we will face next. Well done to every player who all did themselves and the school proud.
Mr Brooks
U15 Basketball:
On Tuesday this week, our U15 basketball team kicked off their season with a trip to Sir John Lawes. A very good test for our team, against a strong SJL team, which unfortunately resulted in a 39-25 loss.
Mr Hill
U16 Table Tennis
On Wednesday, we took a team to the District Table Tennis tournament. The team played against other schools in singles matches, with two pools of 4 schools. There was a mixture of results, however, all students showed resilience and hard work throughout the tournament, ultimately, finishing third in their pool and only the top team progressed to the final. This was also a great opportunity for our students to help boost their GCSE Practical grades.
