T.M.A SPORT

Recently at our school we have had many fabulous sporting events and all of our teams have done extremely well, winning or coming in second place. The cross country, netball, girls football and boys football teams have all been in action.

 


Last Saturday the cross country team had a championship, at the Open University, which girls and boys from both Year 5 and Year 6 racing against thirty other schools! There were 180 people in each race with six people from each school in the race. The girls from Year 5 had to run one thousand meters and the top four racers came fifth, seventh, fifteenth and eighteenth out of 180 people! Both the boys from Year 5 and the girls from Year 6 had to run one thousand five hundred meters, with the top racer from Year 5 coming in at sixteenth and the top racer in Year 6 coming in the same position. 

But the boys from Year 6 were the stars with the top racers coming in third, tenth, twenty first and twenty fifth and out of thirty schools they came first over all. All of the team were really happy when they found out they had come second altogether and they also enjoyed giving assemblies to the whole school and sharing their success with the other pupils in the school. 

On the 7th  March, the New Year 6 girls football team had their first tournament at Tatenhoe Pavilion against three other schools. Their first game was against Stanton which they lost 1-0. Their second game was against Caroline Hasslet which they won 3-0, but the next game against Greenleys was the best with a 8-1 win for Two Mile Ash.  

After the girls share of success came the boys, when they played Great Linford at Bushfield School where they won 4-0. They also played against Bushfield themselves and won 7-1a few weeks before. 

The netball team also played in a tournament at Northampton Grammar School. They played six games against Northampton Grammar A and B, Quentin A and B and Moltun A and B. They drew against Quentin B but won the rest of their games causing them to win the tournament and a fantastic trophy.
