March Sports Report #2

Posted on 20/03/2019

Year 6 Rugby
On Tuesday 19th March the Yr 6 rugby team represented the school at the PEDSSA Contact Rugby Festival at Wimborne RFU. For many of the Ferndown team this was their first introduction to the full contact game. Although the competition was strong, Ferndown played with great spirit and enthusiasm throughout.
Hopefully this is the start of a long journey within the sport.
Year 7 Netball
On Tuesday our year 7 girls competed in their first ever netball matches for FMS. Just one month ago we did not have a year 7 team, however, with a bit of encouragement the girls started to attend training after school on a Monday and have been dedicated ever since.The girls played Poole High and Parkstone Grammar, and despite losing both of their games, showed a genuine improvement over the course of the two matches, conceding fewer goals as the games went on. We are extremely proud of the resilience and determination that the girls demonstrated and are excited to see how they progress as the season continues. Well done girls!

Year 4 Football Tournament
The PE department would like to say a huge thank you and well done to a group of year 8 students who helped to run and referee the year 4 football tournament that we hosted on Wednesday.

Parley, Ferndown and Hampreston First Schools visited us to compete for a place in the East Dorset Tournament. Congratulations must go to Hampreston First School who remained unbeaten for the duration of the tournament and will go on to represent the local area in the next stages. We would like to say a huge well done to all of the children that took part and wish Hampreston good luck with their upcoming games.
