The afternoon of Monday 20th saw Whitemoor take to the pitches of Highfields – to compete in the Y5/6 Lacrosse tournament for the very first time! 

 

Lacrosse has been a new addition to Whitemoor's after school programme for 2016-17, and the skill development of pupils who've attended this club has been amazing. This showed in fantastic performances against the likes of Fernwood, Southwark and Blue Bell Hill.

 

After a slow start to the competition (losing to Blue Bell Hill and Fernwood A teams) we went on to record victories against Blue Bell Hill B team, Southwark and Fernwood B team. This took us through to the first versus second play-offs, with Fernwood A coming out on top again.

 

However, we must celebrate coming away with the silver medal in a different sport. It's also worth mentioning that the matches were played under awful weather conditions, but not one of our players complained about this. A massive well done to the children on both accounts!

 

The Year 5/6 Lacrosse team consisted of: Megan M, Brian D, Natasha C, Amirah A, Castel B, Mason N, Alfie G and Troy B.
