School Sports


Some recent sports events involving St. Gregory's School are described here:


1999 Small Schools 5-a-side Competition at Adlington School

By Chris - Class 3

St. Gregory's were recently chosen to play in the Small Schools 5-a-side Competition at Adlington School against 12 other schools .We liked this tournament because in previous years we had won it or came runners-up so we had a really good chance.

Our first Match was against Mobberly, who we knew were a good team. In the game we were quite nervous and a bit rusty but we won in the end 2-1 (a close match!).

Our second Match was against Handforth Hall, who we knew were going to be very hard to beat because they had won their first game. But we stepped up a gear from the last match and played some really excellent Football. We won 2-0 in the end.

Football
Our third Match was against Adlington and we knew we had to pass the ball well to beat them. But we did just that and won 3-0 in end.

Our fourth Match was against Pott Shrigley, who we knew were very hard because they had very good players on their side. But we used our skill and passed the ball around and eventually we won 2-0.

Our fifth and final match was against Bosley, who had lost all their games unfortunately so we new it wasn't going to be as hard as some of the other teams .We won 3-0.

Now because we had won all the matches we got through to the final against Handforth Hall. We knew this was going to be the hardest game so far. But we played some fantastic football and amazingly won 3-0 and won back the trophy
for St. Gregory's school.


Netball by Harriet, Class 3

Netball In the last few weeks our school Netball team have been playing some matches. Here are all the results:

Adlington 3 St.Gregorys 2
Rainow 0 St.Gregorys 5
Dean Valley 5 St.Gregorys 0
Pott Shrigley 0 St.Gregorys 6
Bollington Cross 1 St.Gregorys 5

That wasn't a bad first season, it was a good season. Three out of five wins was good. Eighteen goals is brilliant through the first season.


Swimmer

Swimming by Philip, Class 3

Philip Our school entered the 'Small Schools Swimming Gala' earlier this year, along with thirteen other schools. Some of our swimmers went through to the finals, where I came 2nd in the Freestyle event.

I have got my Silver Medallion and I can swim over 1,000 meters.


School Sports Day - John, Class 3

My classmates and I all enjoyed Chelford Small Schools Sports Day. Our major success of the day was when Jonny and Kim won the heat for the Relay Skipping, then they came third in the final.

Chris, Harriet, Philip and Lucy also had good rankings. I came eighth in throwing.

Other people like me who didn't have great achievements all had smiles on their faces! I think that it was a well organised event that we all enjoyed.
