May Sports Roundup

A busy couple of weeks for the school’s Sport faculty has seen a number of fixtures and events take place, both on and off site.

Softball Cricket Tournament

Young cricketers have been given an opportunity to represent the school in the finals of a Hull and East Riding cricket tournament.  

The team managed a very respectable third place finish after being edged out in two very close games. Acting Head of PE, Owen Mountain, reported “a great effort from all ten players” and praised the team for competing well against some “very strong competition”.

Mr Mountain added: “It’s also worth noting that our team was, on balance, the youngest side involved - with players mainly in Key Stage 3. Most other teams fielded players from Year 10. This makes our team’s efforts even more impressive. Well done to all involved.”

Withernsea secured a solid win against Kingswood Academy, scoring 86 runs against their opponents 34.

In all other games, they were beaten by as few as two runs (against Woldgate School), five runs (Snaith and Beverley Grammar), and eight runs (St Mary’s College).

Congratulations to: Michael I, Louie E, Archie R, Noah M,  Alfie F, Ben H, George S, Dylan F, William T and Sam H. 

Year 7 Rugby

On Thursday, 15th May, the Year 7 boys team competed in a nine-a-side tournament at the University of Hull where they won all three of their games without conceding a single try. The students played exceptionally well and were a joy to watch. As a result of winning this tournament, they will now represent the East Riding at a national tournament in Warrington next month. 

Well done to: Kane B, Freddie H, Anthony L, Craig L, Jensen H, Denis R, Dylan T, Corey O and Louie S. 

 


Parallel Sports

A group of Key Stage 3 students represented the school at a recent inclusive sports event at Nuffield Health Centre in Hull. The students had a fantastic time and worked well as a team. They were determined with their own performances whilst also encouraging eachother. To top a great day off, the students placed first overall which they were delighted about!

Well done to: Max W, Mason F, Orin D, Wyatt P, William B, Jake K, Daniel T, Emily C, Scarlett H, Kodi G, Leon W and Tommy T. 

 

Panathlon

Students from Years 7, 8, and 9, and the school’s ERP, recently took part in a ‘Panathlon’ event. The students thoroughly enjoyed themselves and displayed great confidence, expressing themselves and being enthused by something slightly different. Well done to the ERP team who came first overall!

Well done to: Josh F, Alex A, Patrick B, Alfie B, Joe K, Harrison W, Mason F, Will B, Bernie R, Peter C, Cody G, Thomas F, Lexi G, Daniel T, Brooklyn H, Alfie K, Logan R, Thaviru B, Ben W, Leon W, Scott L, Reece M and Lilly C

Thanks to the event leaders: Dylan T, Jake T, Jethro P, Lily B, Millie C, Meredith W, Molly H and Riley G.
