PE Sports Leaders Report
Once again MGGS sports leaders have been working hard planning and running a variety of events, with many more due to take place in the summer. Year 12 CSLA students ran a successful inter house badminton tournament with Danes being the overall winners - congratulations to them - and are currently teaching Tri- Golf to pupils from Brunswick House. Year 10 sports and dance leaders have their primary school events fast approaching as do Year 13 HSLA students with inter house netball at the end of this term and their mini Olympics day on the 30th April.
MGGS Sporting Success In Futsal The Futsal county finals were held in February at Medway Park. MGGS were successful in gaining qualification to the county finals in the U12, U14 and U16 age categories. All teams were split into 2 pools then the top 2 teams went through to play in the semi-final then the final to see who would be crowned the best futsal team in Kent. The U12 futsal team overall came 3rd in the county narrowing losing by 1 goal in their semi-final. Congratulations to all players who were fantastic throughout the whole day. Special mention must go to Charlotte Alner who kindly volunteered to play in goal throughout the competition and was superb. Team: Louise Jones, Grace Smith, Rosie Westhrop, Charlotte Alner, Seren Asilonu, Niamh Hynes. The U14 futsal team overall came 5th in the county. They were struggling for players due to injury; however the girls played their hearts out throughout all matches but were unfortunate not to progress through further. Congratulations to all players. Team: Beth Wood, Katie Startup, Megan Gill, Tish Smith, Dani Arney
U16 Futsal The U16 futsal team came runners up (2nd) in the county. The girls were brilliant. They played their hearts out and unfortunately narrowly missed the crown on penalties. Rowena Squires kept the team in the match by pulling off some amazing saves. Amanda and Annie were dominant in attack with Jude scoring some vital goals. Laura was outstanding at the back demanding the play. Overall a fantastic achievement for all players. Congratulations to the team: Rowena Squires, Annie Ruler, Jude Shorter, Laura Howard, Amanda Beeput.
U13 Kent Cup Semi Finalists The U13’s football team had a very successful season and excellent run in the Kent Cup. In round 1 they beat Rainham School 12-1. In round 2 it was a tougher match; however the girls were superb and beat St. Simon stock 4-3 to progress through to round 3. They faced Highsted away and won 5-0 to get into the quarter finals. In the quarters they played against Mayfield Grammar School and successfully won the match 5-0 to get into the semi-finals. This is the second year that MGGS have entered the Kent Cup and to get through to the semi final was an amazing achievement. The girls were drawn against Highworth in the semi-final away. It was a thoroughly entertaining end to end match to watch for the neutral! The final score was 4-2 to Highworth; however that did not reflect the match as it could have gone either way. Miss Relph is extremely proud of all the players and can’t wait until next season to hopefully reach the final. Congratulations to all. players. Maidstone Grammar School for Girls
