U13 Girls County Cricket Winners!

It was a great day out for the U13 cricket team in the county finals on Monday. The team had a tough group against Dame Alice Owen’s and John Warner, but prevailed and came out winners. Then they had the semi final against Marlborough, which they won comfortably. The final was against St George’s, which we knew would be a challenge, but the girls won the final by 20 runs and are now in the regional finals in July! A massive well done to the whole squad on a great accomplishment.

Athletics

We also wanted to share with you a number of results from recent athletics meets:

Firstly, in the county league athletics two weeks ago, the U14 girls relay team of Poppy, Sophie, Kayla B and Sophia won their event. Other first placings included, Rose S in the triple jump, Lucy H in the 1500m, Jessie T-L in the discus, Charlie D in the long jump and Sophia J in Year 7 winning the Year 8 200m race.

At the recent Herts County Championships, Sophia J also won the Year 7 long jump and came second in the 200m. Heather G also came second in the Year 7 girls high jump. Huge congratulations – that is a very impressive achievement!

Last Thursday, we also attended a district athletics event involving around 20 schools. Students performed admirably throughout. Sophia J won the Year 7 long jump and came second in the 200m. Harry S in Year 10 came second in the 400m. Lucy H also finished second in the high jump for Year 8, and Ella P in Year 9 came second in the 1500m, which was a gruelling race, especially when it was as hot as it was. Jessie T-L got bronze in the Year 9 hurdles and Sophie K got bronze in the 300m.

We also had 2 gold medals in Year 10, with Darci M winning the 200m and Jesse G winning the high jump. Both Darci and Jesse (who got the national indoor standard of 1.82m) have achieved national standard in their respective events, which is an outstanding achievement.

Football

Lastly, we wanted to acknowledge Sophie K in Year 8, who has just been signed by the Watford FC U14 football Academy for the upcoming season. Well done, Sophie!
