Earlier today, our Y3/4 Handball team competed in the City Schools' tournament, attempting to replicate the success of last year's team by achieving the gold medal. High pressure indeed! 

 

The competition posed by the other schools involved was fierce, and Whitemoor knew they had an afternoon full of tough games. Thankfully, we managed to make it through to the semi-finals by winning each of our five group games.

 

In this knock-out match, we played Southwark, who proved to be extremely tricky opponents. However, Whitemoor came away with a narrow win and so qualified for the next round…

 

In the finals we faced Fernwood, who had also won every game so far. The two teams were evenly matched and exchanged points right until the end, where we managed to hold them off – winning by only 1 point! As well as earning the gold medal, Whitemoor also earned a spot at the County Finals later on in the year.

 

A great win for our players – and our second successive year winning the Handball tournament!

 

Our Y3/4 Handball team consisted of: Maxi​ K, Aliny T, Inez W, Vina R, Mariah-Lace A, Christine S, Shalom-Chris O, Hugo K, Travae R, Mustafa K, Christopher V, Dijourn M and Peter S.
