Year 5 and 6 Mixed Basketball League

On Tuesday 4th December seven children represented Chilcote in the local basketball league. The event was held at Kings Heath Boys School.

Chilcote faced three opponents on the night in a mini-league. The fifth team did not attend so all of the teams who were present received a victory for that game.

In their first game Chilcote played against Billesley School. They dominated the match and were clinical with their chances. They scored a total of eight baskets in the ten minute match and only conceded one. This meant they won the match 16v2.

Secondly, Chilcote played against Hollywood A. This game was much tougher and Hollywood were the more dominant team. They had a number of chances but couldn't take them. Chilcote kept hitting them on the break but struggled to create any clear cut opportunities. Hollywood di then sink the first basket of the game but Chilcote replied almost immediately. The game was locked as a draw for a while until Hollywood took another opportunity from long range and sunk a basket. Chilcote then conceded one more whilst trying to get an equaliser. The game ended 6v2 to Hollywood A.

Finally Chilcote played against Chad Vale. The game started quite evenly with both teams having chances. Chilcote then began to take control and scored two quick baskets. They then added a third just before the end. The game ended 6v0 to Chilcote.

Therefore, Chilcote finished in second place on the night. This means they qualify for the higher league in January. Well done to all of the children who took part as they did fantastically!
