• St. Mary’s Girls Football Team

  Wed 22 Jun 2016 School Reporter

  The girls played Peel Common this warm afternoon, coming away with a strong win.

   

  We went to Peel Common with seven girls a mixture of Year 6s and 5s with no subs. This was due to several Year 6s at their transition day. This resulted in the girls having to play both halves of the game in the afternoon heat.
  They worked extremely well as a team calling for the ball and using the space available. There were some decisions made by the referee that were certainly questionable. However, due to St. Mary's persistence and team spirit they overcame this. St. Mary's Girls left the game closer as a team, they had really relied on each other throughout it, and as can be seen in the photo had put all their effort into the game! Final score one nil to St. Mary's Girls.

  

• St. Mary's Girls play Lee-on-the-Solent

  The girls played Lee-on-the-Solent and came away from the game with seven goals!

   

  This was the girls third game of the season, prior to this they had lost both games. However, in their last game they had played Grange and came away with a respectable one nil defeat. So spirits were high! We had a huddle before the match and using the trusty iPad discussed our positioning. This resulted in the girls holding their positions, passing, defending well, scoring and ultimately enjoying the match!

  It was terrific game to watch all 3 strikers scored one goal Laura, Violet and Lucia. The remaining goals were scored by Weronika, who was Girl of the Match.

  

• Kwik Cricket Girls tournament @ Privett Park

  Wed 08 Jun 2016 School Reporter

  The St. Mary's Y6 girls won the tournament at Privett Park today!

  Their coach said they won primarily because of their game strategy - to bowl the cricket ball low and short. While batting they took every advantage of taking a quick run while their opponents were taking their time fielding, it also helped that their coach gave them an incentive if they could it to the boundary. After this they were hitting fours and sixes!
