Congratulations to our exemplary Netball teams that attended the Police tournament at Kingsacre yesterday morning. They did so incredibly well, with Team A placing 3rd and Team B 5th.

 

Team A played some of the best netball of the competition, with fluid passing, tactical movement and fantastic shooting. 

 

The majority of Team B had never played a competitive game of netball before, and even though experience was not on their side, they did not give up. Your teamwork and support for one another must be commended.

An amazing day at the North Devon Netball Finals on March 5th at Park School, with our Level 1 Year 5 and 6 qualifying team. Southmead finished 4th in their pool of 7 teams, with only 1 point in it between 3rd and 2nd place, so a tight finish between the top 4. Southmead went on into the playoffs and finished 7th out the 14 teams that attended. It was fabulous to witness some brilliant netball and how well the team supported one another throughout the games. Well done Winter, Arno, Eva, Brian, Macie, Missy and Sophie. You should all be very proud of how well you demonstrated respect and sportsmanship for others, yourselves and for our school. 

On Sunday March 3rd, the finals of the Bremco North Devon Cross Country League took place at West Buckland School. The sun shone, crowds were bustling, parents and teachers cheering and hundreds of excited children were getting ready to race. 

When the results finally came in, the U9 girls were eagerly awaiting their well-deserved medals. Very proudly, the U9 girls smashed it!
