Hockey Success

The girls hockey team started the season with a comfortable win against Saville House.  After taking an early lead, Mr Britten saw the game as an opportunity to give everyone a game.  All eleven girls took part and had a chance to play a variety of positions.  The final score was 12-5.

The Under 9 boys football team had their first taste of competition at Old Vicarage.  A inexperienced team coped well against some tough teams and played well throughout.  A win in a group game was the highlight of the afternoon and I'm sure the boys will have gained much from the experience.
