Year 7 netball will be cancelled on Monday 25th March.

Last night, the year 8/9 with some year 7s football team played Kineton in the semi-final of the county cup.

The team started the game strong with E.Constable, A.Bourton. M.Free and S.Viteri pressuring forward in attack. A.Griffiths-Standagr and M.Norton kept pushing the ball forward and supporting in defence when needed. Some amazing attempts on goal from A.Bourton and S.Viteri kept the Kineton keeper active, but we couldn’t get past her!

H.Freimanis, M.Green, E.Luo and A.Stanley did well in defence to save A.Constable from having to do much keeping in goal. L.Parsons came on to add more pressure to the opposition, but still, neither teams could score!

At half time, Southam needed to up their game. Chasing every ball and pressuring every pass as well as being more creative in attack is what we needed.

After 2 minutes of the second half, Southam scored with a huge team effort, eventually giving M.Norton the goal. R.Dillon came on to support in defence and pressure the ball forward and A.Constable came out of goal to support in midfield, however, once Southam had begun scoring there was no stopping them! E.Constable, H.Freimanis, A.Griffiths-Standage and M.Free added their names to the score line and soon the game was being dominated by Southam.

Southam were definitely the stronger and more composed team in the second half and worked well together as the game came to a close.

Final score 8-0 to Southam! This puts the team into the County Final on Wednesday 3rd April at 4pm. If anyone would like to support the team and the U16s – the finals will take place at Campion school.

Well done to everyone!

Double win for year 7 Netballers at Campion

This evening the year 7 netball teams went across to Campion to play against their A and B teams.

The girls played some fantastic netball and was a delight to see how much some players have improved over the year so far.

The Black team managed a fantastic score of 12-4 over the Campion A team with outstanding shooting from Holly F, Freya E and Flo M. The strong defensive pair of Phoebe C and Tia C stopped the goals and reduced Campion to only scoring 1 goal in the second half.

The Green team came across a strong Campion B team. The girls captained by Justine played some really good netball especially stand out performer Abbey G-S who had an outstanding performance at the back at GK reducing the attempts at Goal from Campion. Another good win 5-3 to Southam.

Well done, some brilliant netball being played.

Player of the Match:

Monday evening saw the year 7 football team play Stratford in their quarter final of the cup. On a bobbly pitch Southam started brightly and tried passing in neat triangles. Southam took a deserved lead on 5 minutes after Harry dispossessed the centre midfielder and then drove at the defence before unleashing a powerful strike into the top corner. Southam nearly conceded straight away but for a last ditch sliding tackle from Alfie K. Tremendous defending. The year 7 team continued to pass the ball around and created a few half chances but couldn’t score another until the 22nd minute. The wait was worth it as the goal was a brilliant team goal starting from Jasper in goal, to Alfie, to Oli, to Noah before a great through ball to Harry who nipped in and grabbed his 2nd of the game. A great team goal and pleasing to see what we’ve been working on at training paying off. Half time 2-0.

Southam continued to play in the same way in the 2nd half and could have scored more but for some good saves from the Stratford keeper. Stratford nearly got back into the game but a wonderful goal line block from Alfie B kept the score at 2-0. Southam did grab their 3rd after a snap shot from Oli was turned in by Joe. Full time 3-0. A very pleasing result with some dominant performances from Archie, Oli and Charlie. Jasper J deserves a special mention for a great first game back after injury! Man of the match goes to Alfie K.

Next game is on Thursday at home to Myton.

Well done on reaching the semi finals
