Senior School Sports Round - up

It ’ s been another busy week of sport for our students with our regular Saturday and Wednesday blocks plus county tournaments, a swimming gala and indoor cricket competitions. U13, U15, and U18 Swim Team performed well at the gala on Monday. A special mention to Tabitha and Zach who achieved 2nd place in their races. Well done to all swimmers who took part. The U13A netball team played very well in a match against the Castle U13A team on Wednesday. Queen ’ s made a fast start with accurate passing and shooting making for an excellent first two quarters. Castle came back strongly in the final two periods and the speed with which they

played was admirable. Queen ’ s worked extremely hard to defend their lead however the speed of the opposition proved the difference in the end. A gritty and spirited performance from the u13As which made for an entertaining match.

The boys had a great morning of hockey at the U14 county tournament. They played great hockey in the first game to come out winners but made a few mistakes which meant we lost in the last moments. The boys shoes huge resilience to come back knowing they needed to win their final 2 matches to qualify. They were up for the challenge and played great hockey in both games which allowed the boys to finish second and qualify for the regional round. Read more on our sports report.

Football

Our U15 boys attended their football fixtures on Thursday, taking part in a round robin tournament against two Castle School teams, as well as teams from Courtfields School and Bishops Foxes School. The Queen ’ s students put in a fantastic showing earning 3 draws and a vital 1 - 0 win in our final game (against arguably the toughest team).

Not conceding in any of our matches was a huge positive and showed the togetherness of our 7 a - side team. They did themselves proud, Captained by Reece, who led brilliantly and scored the winning goal!
