Pick Up Reminder

Please can we politely ask that to keep the flow of traffic moving, you remain in your car and

do not leave your vehicle unattended. Can we also please remind you not to park on the main

road, near to the entrance of Hanley’s fencing and not to park on the pavement as this causes

an obstruction for pedestrians. Many thanks

Monday 1st April 2019.

Girls under 11’s finals football match.

This match took place at Queensgate Primary, we played against Yarmouth girl’s football team.

This was an important match as it was a decider of who won the finals!

Winning at first with 1-0 to us from an excellent corner from Jessica Green and coming of Erin

Sharp into the goal where Tawnie (from Yarmouth) was goalie.

Then in a few minutes it was 1-1 with Ocean scoring the second goal of the match. The next goal

was from Madeline Grieve, now to 2-1 again to us!

Next was 2-2 scored by Tawnie, at the end of the match it was a draw so we had 5 minutes each

way, in 1 minute to spare they unfortunately scored making it 3-2 to them leaving us with silver

and them with gold.

This match was one of our most congratulated matches. We won against all the other schools to

get to the finals and unfortunately we lost this one. All of our matches were well played with

respect from all players.
