Year 10 Netball

Wednesday saw our two Year 10 teams take on St Matthew’s Academy. The 'A Team' started with accurate shooting and fast play along the court and continued to build on their lead throughout the whole game. With only 7 players, the team worked hard to win 18-8. Sophie was selected as player of the match for her super shooting and on court leadership.

The 'B Team' started slowly, but managed to gain momentum as the game progressed. With some new players to the team and some Year 11 players filling in the gaps, by the end we were playing some lovely netball!

Well done to Ayaka, who was the player of the match, and well done to everyone!

Next week we take on CSGS!

Year 7 Football 

Today, Bexley Grammar played against Royal Greenwich Trust. The score was 2-6. The match kicked off and Greenwich were maintaining very high pressure. Thanks to that pressure, they managed to get the ball in the middle of the pitch, and they scored an early goal with a great strike going into the bottom corner. The game went on, and then we had our own goal-scoring chance. Harry had the ball in the midfield, and he passed it to Aaraav on the left wing. He crossed the ball into the box with Jayden and then Reese narrowly missed it. After that, Greenwich were very quick to score a second. It took us something like 5 minutes to score our first, with Reese snatching a rebound from Jayden’s cross. Then the opposition scored 2 (the third being a penalty) more, and we were 4-1 down at half-time. In the second half, we played much better and that led to Reese scoring his second with some great play between Jayden and Onyi down the wing. Following that, we continued to play well, but we received a great blow as we conceded 2 goals more.

Even though we lost, I think that we played very well considering that it was our first match, and we are still getting used to playing as a team. I would like to give special praise to Harry and Neev because I think that they really battled it out today. Reese also did very well, scoring both our team’s goals.

I was really proud of the team’s efforts against a strong Royal Greenwich Trust side. The boys battled all the way and the scoreline had an unfair gloss on it by the end as we pushed to get an equaliser late on. Santi was an excellent captain on the day and really led by example. I look forward to other players taking this responsibility in the future. Thank you to everyone who turns up for training, which will continue to be after school on Wednesday evenings. It was also lovely to meet parents who were able to attend the game. Your support is incredibly valuable to the boys. If you wish to attend matches, please sign in at Reception.
