U14 Girls Football Progress to the Final 8
Our U14 Girls Football team faced off against King Alfred’s school this week as part of the Somerset Schools Football Association Tournament. It was an incredible match with our girls showcasing their teamwork and skills as they brought home a 2-1 victory putting them into the final 8!
Player of the match was awarded to Anna, well done!
Year 9 Boys Rugby Take on the North Somerset Rugby Festival
The plush new Yatton RFC ground played host to this year’s North Somerset Rugby Festival this week, with 11 teams and approximately 200 students taking part.
Our Churchill boys tested themselves by entering the ‘Performance’ league, going up against the best teams in the county. After a tough game against Backwell School, they upped their game to beat Gordano before a narrow loss to Nailsea. The team showed great togetherness and progress throughout the afternoon and are in great shape for their upcoming matches.
Well done to Freddie who was awarded ‘grafter’ of the day for his endless energy and commitment in both defence and attack!
Sixth Form Netball Team’s First Match of the Year
Our Sixth Form Netball team had their first match of this academic year this week, taking on Clevedon School in two matches.
Up first was our girls only team who put their all in and walked away with a victorious 10-1 win. Player of the match was awarded to Fran, well done!
The second match of the day was our mixed team, who put on a fun display of Netball but unfortunately didn’t secure the win on this occasion. Player of the match was awarded to Jake, well done!
We are looking forward to all the upcoming Sixth Form matches before Christmas where we will see our Hockey, Badminton, Table Tennis and Netball teams facing schools across North Somerset!
