NETBALL AND FOOTBALL - Village teams had a very successful time at the annual Rural Schools Tournament, hosted by St Mary's School, Credenhill. The netballers, defending champions, had a great run through the round robin section, which led to a tie with Canon Pyon and a play off. In a tense final game, Canon Pyon just pipped it 1-0. A great display of sporting skill and endeavour for the spectators.

In the football, a slow start with a draw was soon overcome and four matches in a row were won.

Lugwardine were dispatched in a close semi-final, then the hosts were taken on in another tense final game. A cracking header from Tom, and an angled drive into the roof of the net by Josh won the game and the trophy. A good day all round, played in the best sporting atmosphere and spirit.
