• 2017 BUTLERS COURT END OF SEASON NETBALL TOURNAMENT

  Wed 24 May 2017 Mrs Lindsay Strawa

  On a hot sunny afternoon the Butlers Court End of Season Netball Tournament took place on Tuesday 23rd May 2017. 21 children from years 5 and 6 were split into 4 teams.

   

  Teams played each other once in games of 6 minutes each way rotating positions at half time and at the start of each game, as per High 5 rules.

   

  All games were closely contested with only 3 points separating 1^st and 2^nd places. 3^rd and 4^th places were also separated by the same margin. Thank you to Mr Reynolds and Sophie Habgood for assisting with the scoring.

   

  Mrs Marshall presented certificates to all 21 participants with winners medals awarded to the winning team.

  It was impressive to see how the children supported each other in their teams with the more experienced netballers giving advice and encouragement.

  A huge thank you to Mrs Cook and Sienna Gianneri, from Beaconsfield High School, for their help this year and to all the parents/carers for their support during the season, particularly those who have helped with transport for away games and tournaments.

  However, the biggest thank you must go to the children who have attended netball club, whatever the weather, throughout the year. It has been a pleasure to see their skills develop and share in their enjoyment of a fantastic sport.

  I wish all the year 6 girls good luck in year 7 and look forward to hearing of their netball involvement in years to come.

  Netball will start again in September and I hope to see the return of existing netballers and any boys or girls who would like to join Netball Club will be more than welcome.

• Year 5 Football Team Take 6-a-side Crown

  Tue 23 May 2017

  Y5 Football squad took part in the area 6-a-side competition against 15 other teams at St Josephs RC School. They started well winning their group with victories over Chalfont St Peter B, Great Missenden and St Marys Amersham. In the quarter-finals a Jayan goal put them one up against Chalfont St Peter and Monty secured the winner directly from a corner. In the semi-finals Gerrards Cross were strong opponents leading 1-0 until Mattias equalised with just seconds remaining. This switched the initiative to Butlers Court who dominated the period of extra time with Monty scoring the winner. In the final Great Missenden were again the opponents and in a tight game a shot from Monty that crept up their keeper was the only difference between the two teams giving us a 1-0 victory.

   

  The boys were unable to reproduce this form in the final of the U10 competition being convincingly beaten by Gerrards Cross to finish a successful season.

   

  SQUAD: Adam Boodhun, Christian Eggenschwiler, Thomas Ainger, Jayan Rai, Monty Evans, Mattias Gianneri, Stanley Pearson-Taylor and Matthew McCall
