Beech House School

The under 12’s netball team played against St. Cuthbert’s. Both teams started brightly but St. Cuthbert’s gradually gained control of the game playing some fast flowing netball. Beech House struggled to contain them throughout the first half. A few positional changes where made at half time and as a result Beech House scored a couple of consolation goals in a game they eventually lost 17-2. Player of the day was Rebecca Whittaker.

The under 12 girl’s football team played in the English Schools Football Association 5 a-side tournament. Although the girls lost all their games they performed admirably against some high quality opposition. Player of the day was Henna Akhtar.

In the English Schools regional finals the under 14 boys team of Jack Brook, Harrison Groome, Greg Preston, Daniel Matthews, and James Wright were placed 9th in both the 4 x 2 medley and freestyle relays.
