B Team

Haytham scored first with a good goals which boosted our confidence. There was a collision and Nathan had to come on for Max. Haytham chipped it to Harry who tapped it in. The half time whistle blew and we had a chat. We went back out and unluckily we conceded a goal, but our heads didn’t drop. Nathan tapped it in, but it was disallowed. Then we scored twice, one from Harry and one from Jordan. The men of the match were Jordan and Max.
Thank you Mrs Waller for the refreshments and organising the match and to Carl for coaching us.

Team; Haytham, Max, Oscar, Nathan, Matthew N, Sam A, Jordan and Harry.

On Wednesday 21st January St. James’ ‘B’ team went to the High School to play 2 netball matches. The first match was against Claremont ‘B’ and with help from Emily and Nadine; we managed to win 3-0.

After a break we ran onto the pitch eager to start playing against St. Paul’s, and within the first five minutes Jodie, Olivia and Zoë had already scored a goal each. Even though the opposite team were very good we won 6-2.

Thank you to Mrs Waller for supporting us and to Mrs Simkins for driving us there.
