PE AT ISAAC NEWTON ACAD News & Results Year 7 Football vs King Solomon The Year 7 football team faced their toughest opponents this year in King Solomon. They were a well organised team with players representing various clubs outside of school. INA showed a real desire and perseverance to compete for every ball. This was rewarded by an even score line at the end of the first half. INA knew the second half would be tougher as we were now attacking up a slope, Jack Lavin made some incredible saves to keep the score a draw but unfortunately couldn’t keep out a strong strike from the King Solomon striker. INA’s head briefly went down after this goal which led to another quick goal being scored; however before the game came to a close INA lifted their heads, showed great character and Sudais Khan went onto score in the closing minutes making it 2-1. INA’s Haider Rafiq was also denied a late goal due to a very close offside call. Badminton London Youth Games For the first time in INA history, we had a team that made it to the London Youth Games to represent Redbridge against all other boroughs around London. INA’s Badminton team finished ranked 5th in London which is an incredible achievement. With a tough first draw against Sutton who then went onto the final, we were unfortunate not to get another borough which would have seen us progress further. The whole team collaborated well from start to finish and represented INA to an amazing standard. Well done!

Year 8 Football Vs King Solomon The Year 8 football team remain unbeaten this term; however the 3-3 draw left the team very disappointed as the last minute goal from a set piece could have been avoided. The students started off very slowly, conceding an early goal from a corner before then coming to life to start working as a team and scoring the goals that came from their hard work. 2 goals from Abdi Omar and the 3rd from Zayd Selant, who was doing a remarkable job out of position higher up the pitch. However the last minute goal from King Solomon made it a disappointed trip back to INA.
