Our superstar Year 9 cricket leaders did a great job running their first Year 5/6 competition for local primary schools. They are hosting one after half-term, too, so the practice will be good for them!

Joseph and Dev each produced breakthrough innings for the U15s on Thursday, but it wasn’t enough to beat a Chis and Sid side who did well to take their chances. On to the next one…

Having already won their regional leagues this season. Welling United were up against 11 other national teams at the JPL National Championships on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st May, at Warwick University. ![](/_site/data/files/images/newsletter/367CACB6A92912D655A0E3BE74AE7E2A.png)
The matches were tough, but Welling came top of their group having won 3 games & drawing 2 games & scoring a total of 10 goals. The final was a tense final match against Bristol, which saw Welling United eventually win 1-0. They were crowned as the JPL National Champions which was an amazing achievement in itself given the exceptional high standard of football played out over the weekend.

Austin & Jamie were exceptional over the weekend & played their part in the success of Welling United being crowned Junior Premier League National. Two future football players to watch out for I am sure.
Congratulations to you both and excellent results.

Year 9 Rounders
Our Year 9 rounders teams had a wonderful afternoon playing one their favourite summer sports as we hosted the Bexley Borough rounders tournament in the week before half-term. We had no less than 22 girls taking part and fielded two teams. A fantastic opportunity for the players and a chance to demonstrate their batting and fielding prowess, which we have been developing in their weekly training sessions. 8 schools attended the tournament, which resulted in fierce competition for the title of Bexley Borough Champions! Mrs Mallin and I were very proud of the girls as they finished overall as runners-up and our second team in 4th position. Your commitment, enthusiasm and team morale is an absolute joy to be a part of. Well done girls!

I think Darina sums up their time well.
"Participating in any competition against other schools is always fun - all of us had such a good time, and we managed to improve our teamwork to become even better than before! I am very proud of all of my friends and hope there will be more opportunities to participate in rounders' tournaments in the future." Darina Mitkova, 9KAS
