Year 5 and 6 Mixed Handball Tournament

On Wednesday 28th January six year 6 children and one year 5 child (Bradley, Johnny, Jack, Ali, Max, Aaliyah and Emily) represented the school in a mixed handball tournament at the Ark Kings Academy.
The event started off with some coaching for the children by two coaches from Handball England. The children really enjoyed this and it gave them time to practise with the different balls.
After that, the tournament started. Chilcote were competing against Hollywood and Yardley Wood in a round robin tournament. The teams played each other twice. In the first game Chilcote played against Hollywood Johnny score the opener and then Chilcote conceded a penalty, which they scored, but Brad managed to get a winner so it finished 2v1 to Chilcote. In the next game Chilcote took the lead against Yardley Wood but were unfortunately pegged back and then conceded 2 more in quick succession to long throws over the top. Chilcote lost 3v1. Then Chilcote played Hollywood again and in this game the team really started to play well and pass and move quickly. Chilcote won 2v0. In the final game Chilcote again played Yardley Wood and took an early lead. Chilcote then had lots of chances but couldn’t find the back of the net. Yardley Wood scored twice with not long left to win 2v1.

These results meant that Chilcote finished as runners up in the tournament. All of the children did really well and played their hearts out! Well done to all!
