South Milford Moments
Weekly news Friday 15.7.19
Hockey Team
They played with an exceptional level of skill and tenacity. They worked fantastically as a team and came a very close second in their pool (a difference of one goal).
Due to lack of time the team missed the opportunity to play for second place. Despite this, we couldn't be prouder of the commitment and skill they have shown throughout every game up to this point.
Thank you to all the parents who have supported extra practises and for transporting your children on the day.
Golf
The children also enjoyed watching the teachers battle it out for first place. Thank you to Tony Howarth from Scarthingwell Golf Club who facilitating the activity- we had a great time!
Netball Team
They were an asset to the School both on and off the court. They scored numerous goals and were spaced beautifully to receive passes. Due to a minimal goal difference, the team came third overall. They should be extremely proud.
Thankyou to all the parents who have supported extra practises and for transporting your children on the day.
