Year 6 mixed Basketball Tournament

On Wednesday 21^st January 2015 seven year 6 children (Grace, Aaliyah, Amy, Giacomo, Joel, Regan and Lorenzo) competed in a mixed basketball tournament at the Ark Kings Academy. The tournament was played in a round-robin format and the children competed against five other schools.

In the first game Chilcote played Grendon and won 10 v 0 scoring some excellent baskets and playing really well. In the second game they played against Bells Farm who were a very good team. Chilcote battled hard but went down 9v4 in the end. Next, they played Hollywood who again were a very good team and lost 13 v 2. Chilcote could have scored a couple more baskets but their finishing let them down. In the fourth game they played Yardley Wood and defended for their lives. Chilcote had a couple of opportunities but didn’t take them. Fortunately Yardley Wood didn’t take their numerous chances either so the game ended 0 v 0. Finally, Chilcote played The Oaks and found their scoring hands, they scored 10 baskets in total and won 20 v 0. The team played really well and finished third (joint third with Yardley Wood) overall in the tournament, so well done to all involved!!!
