Saturday 6th Oct – Y7/8/9/10 Football V The Cavendish School
Saturday saw us match up against Cavendish in what is normally a competitive set of fixtures. Once again the side were well matched and all teams had a good opportunity to play some attractive football. The year 7 team, who are still bonding and developing started well and were able to hold off the opposition until half time. After the break and a few changes later the side found the game tough going eventually losing 4-1. The year 8 team, without their voice of experience and authority Mr Rixon had to battle through a very close game to hold on for what looked like a draw until the dying minutes. With seconds left on the clock, Ashley Willing stepped up to a free kick and was able to cutely finish to give the team a well-earned victory 1-0. The year 9 team, who continue to leak goals again saw a flurry of goals at both ends. The team went up early on and then saw the lead change twice more. With seconds left we led 5-4 with goals from Tom Goodall (3), Aaron Jacobs and Fin Auld before a free kick was given away. With the very last kick of the game in a goal mouth scramble Cavendish equalised to take it to 5-5. The year 10 team, who have by far enjoyed the most success this season again put in an excellent performance as described by Mr Owen as, ‘Man United circa 1994’ won 4-1 with goals from Joe Lowthian, Sian Khan (2) and Harry Fennell.

Y10 District League Basketball V Roundwood Park – Won 35-28
The Year 10 boys went into Mondays fixture versus Roundwood Park unbeaten in the district league. The team were missing some key players and looking slightly depleted, however this gave others a fantastic opportunity to show how good they are. The team played below their best but remained in control of the game. Some excellent performances from Keni Akutu, Alex Frankl, Dom Boost and Dan Mair were enough to hold off Roundwood and the team ran out 35-28 winners, keeping their record intact.

Y9 District Netball V Beaumont – Won 10-4
After some very competitive and close matches, Beaumont had narrowly won by one goal the last time these two teams faced each other. Sandringham were determined that the next time they played Beaumont that they would come out victorious and so they showed true commitment in attending extra training sessions in the run up to this match. The weather made the game conditions even tougher but Sandringham came out in the first quarter full of determination and gained an early lead. By half time the score was 7-2 with Jazz Fisher showing strength and confidence in her shooting. In the second half, Beaumont came out fighting but our defence, Emily Mair and Chloe Pettengell used their training to shut down the centre passes and give Sandringham possession. The end score was 10-4 to Sandringham who played some of their best netball despite the pressure from the opposition. Most Valuable Player goes to Frankie Hammond. Well done to the whole team.
