Key Stage 2 Tag Rugby Team

 

Congratulations to our newly formed Year 5/6 Tag Rugby team.  On the last week of the half term, the team competed in their first ever Tag Rugby tournament held at Boldon Secondary School. The squad did amazingly well and managed to finish joint third in the whole competition, having just missed out on the final. All in all, a very promising start for the boys. We look forward to building on this performance, ready for our next tournament after Christmas.

Team members:

Year 5- Matthew Henderson, Joshua Swallow, Joseph Mcginley, Jack Hodgkinson, Ethan Holden

Year 6- Joseph Swallow, Andrew Foster, Matthew Bennett, Josh Randhawa

Key Stage 2 Football

The Year 5/6 football team have got off to a brilliant start in this year’s Football League. Our first fixture was at home and saw us play against English Martrys. The boys were in top form and got off to a flying start with Year 6 pupil Joseph Swallow Scoring a hat trick! This was then followed up by Josh Randhawa adding another to the total to make for a 4-0 win! Next, we faced a strong side from St Patrick’s and after numerous chances and goal scoring opportunities, had to settle for a 0-0 draw.

Last Week the team travelled to St John Bosco In our second fixture of the season. First we faced rival school St Paul’s.  After a steady start, the deadlock was broken by a brilliant goal from the goal- hungry Joseph swallow in Year 6. This was then added to by a fantastic goal from year 5 pupil Joseph Mcginley to take the match 2-0! Following this, we faced an in-form side from St John Bosco. After a back and forth game, we again had to settle for a 0-0 Draw. Well done to goalkeeper Matthew Bennett of Year 6 for keeping a clean sheet in all 4 games.

The team have represented themselves and the school impeccably so far and have been a credit to Benedict Biscop. The next fixture will take place after the Christmas break. Well done boys!
