Our Y5/6 Basketball team once again made it to the Central Venue League Finals, this time following an impressive first place finish in their set of qualifying rounds. The team had big boots to fill after last year's successes, however they didn't disappoint…

 

Whitemoor came up against some seriously tough competition in their first couple of matches, in the form of Sycamore and Glade Hill. The whole team banded together and showed resilience and amazing teamwork. Their performances could not be faulted; unfortunately they lost these two matches by a single point and a basket respectively.

 

In spite of these results, our players heads didn't drop. Instead they pushed on to win the remaining matches convincingly (against Robin Hood and St Teresa's). Thanks to these victories, we came away with the bronze medals. It was truly a fantastic performance by all, and the staff involved were very proud of the children's efforts.

 

Especially well done to Amarion, who stepped in at the last minute to cover an injured player, and went on to score a number of important baskets. 

 

Our Basketball Team for 'Finals Night' were: Megan M, Millie G, Shania B, Amirah A, Mason N, Castel B, Romario L, Tino C, Amarion A and Harvinder D.
