On Friday afternoon at Our Lady & St. Chad Catholic Academy, children from years 4, 5 and 6 children took part in a football and netball event.

The footballers were in a group with St Christophers, Corpus Christi and Holy Rosary. We had 4 games, having to play Corpus Christi twice. The children battled really well drawing 2 games and losing 2 games. This meant that they came third overall in their league and narrowly missed out on the semi finals. However, they can take some pride from the fact that they managed to draw against the eventual winners of the competition – St Christophers.

The netball team were playing in their first competition of the year and won their first game 6-0! They then competed really well in their remaining games and ended up winning their last game to finish fifth overall. A fantastic achievement by the girls!
