The Courier

A hungry Crescent team started strong by displaying fantastic agility and strength on court, fabulous shooting and tight marking.

Winning the first four games comfortably, they needed to change tactics against a very tall Twycross team. Unfortunately this came too late and Twycross went on to win the game, and indeed the tournament.

The Semi Finals against Crackley Hall were end to end excitement, that sadly went in Crackley's favour this time. Through to the 3rd place play off against Stafford Prep, where the girls showed the true meaning of the words grit and determination. After finishing the first half 4-0 down they kept their heads, stayed composed and came back for a 5-4 win to take 3rd place.

Absolutely awesome work from all girls.

In tough, wet conditions, the year 5 and 6 children showed excellent effort to get round the Princethorpe course in double quick time.

It was great to see such support for each other. The boys encouraged the girls in their race and the girls encouraged the boys in their race. On the course, when children fell or lost shoes, the children helped each other out. 

In the end, the results were:

Girls race

• 1st Harriett (St. David's)
• 2nd Eve (St. George's)
• 3rd Sienna (St. David's)

Boys race

• 1st George (St. George's)
• 2nd Archie (St. David's)
• 3rd Noah (St. David's)

Overall, St. David's came out victorious in both the boys and girls races.
