Davenant Sport and Health

We started back a er half term with two rugby finals to play – the Year 10s against Stewards which we unfortunately lost by a couple of tries. It was a really tough game to accept defeat as Davenant, for the most part, outplayed the opposi on but a couple of lapses in concentra on caused their defeat. It was a great, but frustra ng, game for the many spectators at this event.

The Year 8s had to wait un l the end of February to play their final against St Nicholas, a slightly be er result from this fixture winning 50‐10, and another trophy for Davenant. Great performance from all concerned

Year 8 Winning Rugby Team

The Girls Football inter‐house was hotly contested mainly by years 7 and 8, while there was some representa on from year 9 and 10 it wasn’t enough to run the full house tournament but they all did play football nevertheless.

The big story was that around 25% across years 7 and 8, 41 girls in total, turned up to play which is absolutely fantas c to witness, results were:

Whitechapel 7 – Salisbury 0; Whitechapel 4 – Gillingham 0; Gillingham 4 Salisbury 2.

Congratula ons to Whitechapel for their empha c victory. It is also worth commen ng on the compe ve nature and frustra on (mainly from Salisbury!), that was on display. It was great to see how passionate the students were about represen ng their house and a big thank you to all the House and Sports Captains, they made the job for the PE staff much easier throughout the event.

Goal of the Tournament—Well done to I Cowell
