Yr 5 LBR netball trials

Last week five of our Y5 girls tried out for the LBR netball squad for next year. There was fierce competition, and three of our girls were successful: Madeline Oshodi, Aljona Cirkina, Louisa Gibson.

Two girls narrowly missed out, very unlucky and well done for trying. maybe next time: Sophie and Rachel Culver.


London mini-games

One of our Y6 pupils, Jake O'Neill, has been selected from 30 other pupils to represent LBR at the London mini-games for football. This event will be held at Crystal Palace. Excellent achievement, well done to him.


Football: King's Cup semi-final

Our school football team has reached the final of the Kingh's Cup (the most important and historic 11-a-side competition in LBR primary schools' football). On Tuesday 22nd June they beat a strong Fairlop team on their own pitch 7-4. Excellent stuff boys, bring on St. Anthony's in the final! (Squad as usual)


Football: girls 5-a-side

It has been a year of unprecedented success for our girls football team, which is almost wholly composed of Y5 pupils.

We have taken part in four tournaments, playing mainly against Y6, in the South west Essex Chhampionships. In all 4 tournaments our big rivals have been selwyn school. In 3 previous finals we have lost 1 and won 2 against Selwyn. On Wednesday 23rd June we reached the final yet again, beating various teams by scores such as 7-0, 4-0 etc. We lost the final (Selwyn again!) 3-0, but won the overall Championship spanning over the 4 tournaments as we had only ever lost 2 games!

Well done girls, the trophy is in the cabinet.

Squad: Marianne Aelmans, Franziska Beck, Rachel Culver, Warshika Gopikrishna, Bella Hoy, Iqrah Khan, Vanessa Madu, Madeline Oshodi
