This afternoon, our Y5/6 Basketball players took to the courts of Harvey Hadden again – this time to try and claim the City Schools' title. The competition was a lot tougher this time around, but every member of the team dug in deeper to try and achieve our end goal. 

 

First up we faced the winners from two years ago, South Wilford. After some nail biting moments, we scored in the last few minutes to secure a 12-10 win. We then went on to beat Blessed Robert Widmerpool 6-2 and Brocklewood 15-1. This meant we finished first place in our group and qualified for the semi finals…

 

In this match we faced an athletic Fernwood team, who pushed us all the way to the wire. Thankfully we came away with a 10-9 victory, so qualified for the grand finals… 

 

The game pitted us against local rivals Heathfield, who proved to be top class opposition – beating us 6-14 in the end. Although we didn't qualify for the County Finals, we finished one place higher than last year, and represented Whitemoor magnificently throughout the tournament. 

 

Congratulations to all those involved, who were: Harvinder D, Daniel P, Romario L, Mason N, Castel B, Brian D, Megan M, Shania B, Amirah A, Ciara H and Millie G.
