Athletics
On Tuesday afternoon children from years 3 – 6 took part in the Catholic Schools Athletics Competition at Warwick University. It was a fantastic afternoon and everyone that took part had a great time. We managed to get a couple of medals on the day, Ryan from Y6 who won the 800m comfortably and then finished in 2nd place in the 100m. We also had quite a few finalists in the both the relay and sprint events however they unfortunately did not finish in the top 3 to gain a medal.
At the end of the competition the Donnal Kenny Trophy was awarded. This goes to the school who gain the most points throughout the year from all the Catholic sporting events. This year All Souls did exceptionally well and finished in third place just behind Holy Family and the winners Christ the King.
Well done to all the children that took part in one of the many competitions this year, third place is a great achievement.
Football Final
Thursday finally saw the much anticipated final of the Small Schools Cup against Whoberley Hall. The boys were up for the final and didn’t want to end a successful season on a low and this showed as they produced a superb performance. After a lot of early pressure we were awarded a penalty for handball which was nicely put away by Jack to give us an early lead. Jack soon added another after the keeper spilled the ball, it kindly fell in front of an open net for him to make it 2-0. After more All Souls pressure on the Whoberley goal Tom crossed a high ball into the area which the goal keeper, who actually had a terrific game, dropped into his own net. 3-0 at half time and a well deserved lead. After the break we made lots of changes with many of the players playing in unfamiliar positions, this led to a much more even game although we still had plenty of chances to extend our lead the Whoberley goal keeper made some wonderful saves. Well done boys you deserved your victory and a great end to a fantastic season!
Tennis
