The year 8's have made it to the county basketball final after a 68-62 win away at Turnford this evening. The boy's were always in control of the match but had to fight through a well organised full court press and an extremely physical side from Cheshunt. A solid team performance and some great individual contributions from Akutu, Frankl, Mair and Cleaver managed to overpower Turnford in what became a closer match than first expected.
The team has set up a county final against St. Columbas next Wednesday at 4:00pm, which will be a tough game!

Year 9 go out of County Cup battling
The year 9 boys basketball team lost in a great game against a strong Beaumont side in the County Cup Semi final yesterday. The team put in a solid performance against a side that have had much success and includes some fantastic players who have been playing up in age.
The game always seemed just out of reach but the team fought hard after going 23 points down to get the game back to single figures. A good defence from Oli Ryan, Max Hood and Jacob Moody restricted Beaumont's players scoring, but eventually landed us in foul trouble. Some great drives from Hood, Moody and Tanton helped us close the defecit as we chipped away at Beaumont's lead.
The game finished 72-61 and would have been very different if missed lay ups had have been converted. This year has been a very positive one for the team and has seen huge progress. I know that next season we will continue to close the gap and produce more fantastic results.

The Sandringham A team then had the game of their lives with fantastic shooting from Chloe Nichol, Emily Caswell and Jasmine Fisher and some exceptional interceptions by Abi Charnock. Sandringham had beaten the High School 7-6 and were going through to the District Final! In the final, Sandringham again faced Beaumont.

Chloe Pettengell battled against tough opposition and sent the ball into our shooting circle where Emily Caswell put away her shot. The game was tied 4-4. Beaumont made a quick break and managed to take the lead in the last minute of the game. Sandringham made a desperate effort to get the ball back down our end but there just wasn’t enough time and the game finished 5-4 to Beaumont. A superb effort by the whole team and an astonishing achievement to finish runners up in the District Final.

There were some excellent performances from both teams including wins for a number of individuals including Tom Goodall, Dan Goldingay, Erin Breen and Emily Mair.

Year 11's win to seal District Cup Quarter Final with Beaumont
The year 11 football team cruised past Sir John Lawes 3-0 with goals from Elliot Bailey (2) and Cieran Yapp. The game was never in doubt and only made by tough through the conditions. The wind played a big part and the boys found it very hard in the first half but were able to break the deadlock through Yapp early on. The second half saw some very attacking football from us as we looked to add to the lead. Bailey was able to score twice setting up a quarter final with Beaumont at home to be played before 25th March.
