Firstly, a warm welcome

back from the supplement

team.

An excellent start for the

boys saw them reach the

semi-finals on their first

tournament as a team. Only

3 boys have remained in

the squad from last year

due to our Year 6 squad

members from last year

moving on to secondary

school.

The first match started with

ferocity from both Sham-

blehurst and Wellstead.

Although Shamblehurst

dominated most of the

play, great defending from

Wellstead saw an opening

game 0-0 draw.

The second match against

Netley Abbey commenced

with a bang as Blake saw

his strike from close

range nestle in the roof

of the net. The boys saw

out the game and came

out 1-0 winners.

The final group game

was a tough encounter

against Durley who took

the lead against the run

of play with a smash and

grab goal. With poten-

tial elimination on the

cards, the boys raised their

performance and found an

equaliser through Bobby in

the dying seconds.

The league was tied and a

play-off versus Wellstead

was required. Bobby had

found his shooting boots

and won the play-off for

Shamblehurst by scoring a

wonderful solo goal.

The semi-final match was

against a strong Fair Oak

side who took control of

proceedings and won the

game 3-0. They also went

on to win the tournament.

A great effort from all the

boys involved and a brilliant

foundation on which to

build upon.

Year 5/6 football team tournament of the season.

This year, we decided to

enter a new age category

for football. A team was

picked after a very competi-

tive trial afternoon at school

and the boys went over to

Berrywood to compete

against other schools in the

Wildern cluster.

Many of the other squads

had been playing together

for a number of years

which made this tourna-

ment extremely competi-

tive. The boys didn’t let that

play on their minds as they

worked well as a team to

create excellent chances.

Ryan finally broke the goal

drought in the third game

against Berrywood with a

long range strike which nes-

tled in the bottom corner.

Hopefully the boys will contin-

ue to come training to build

on their skills and experiences

with cluster sport.

Jessica in 5LC has been tak-

ing part in some amazing

gymnastics. This sport takes

dedication, commitment and

a lot of perseverance. She

definitely has flexed quite a

lot of her learning muscles to

about her

sport. She has 12 medals, 5

trophies and has competed

in over 45 competitions, cur-

rently she only competes in

Jessica is in a club called Dy-

namo and is making more

and more progress as she

continues on her journey.

We had a talk with Jess and

she gave us lots of

through in a very defensive perfor-

mance. Unfortunately it wasn’t

meant to be as they lost the game

2-0.

Girls football is an ever-growing

sport which is now recognised at a

professional level in England.

The potential all the girls showed

in this tournament was very en-

couraging and was pleasure to be

a part of. We are looking forward

to working with the them in train-

ing on a Thursday night.

It’s onwards and upwards for the

girls!

DOWN WITH A SPLASH!

A twin partnership

have been taking up a

remarkable sport that

takes proglonged in-

terest and commit-

ment. Grace and

George have been

swimming for Eastleigh swim

club and they haveover 15

medals and 1 trophy be-

tween them. Recently

they competed in the

county squad for their

age group!

Grace came away with a

staggering 9 medals, includ-

ing 3 gold and six bronze.

A great start for the girls squad.

Most of the girls have played to-

gether either in school or out of

school.

The first game began with great

possession play from the girls,

keeping the ball for at least 3

minutes before St James got a

touch. Amy P put the girls 1-0 up

following this, and Amelia added a

second soon after.

During the next 3 games, Amy P,

Amelia and Layla all found the net

on numerous occasions. They

were in a great position going into

the crunch-match with Fair-Oak.

He is the second athlete in modern

Olympic Games history, after Lasse

Virén, to successfully defend the

5000 m and 10,000 m titles. Farah also

completed the double at

the 2013 and 2015 World Champion-

He was the second man in history to

win long-distance doubles at succes-

ships, and the first in history to do the

quadruple-double.

It was an easy choice to choose Mo to

represent our Blue house. His persever-

A wonderful ambassador. Lets go

This year our new house point awards

have been introduced, but why have

we chosen Mo Farah, Jason Kenny,

Jade Jones and Nicola Adams I hear

you ask? Well, in each supplement

issue we will look in depth at each

athletes struggles, achievements and

values…. But first we start with the king

of long distance himself, Mr. Mo

Farah.

Children across the school have been

working hard and flexing their learn-

ing muscles to collect house point to-

kens for their house and house Farah

team members are leading the way

with an astounding amount of house

points this half term!

Farah was born on 23rd March 1983

in Mogadishu, Somalia. His full name is

Mohamed Muktar Jama Farah. He

spent the early years of his childhood

in Djibouti with his twin brother. He

moved to Britain at the age of eight to

join his father, speaking barely a word

of English .

On Tuesday the 18th October a cluster of schools arrived at Hamble Sports College to take

part in a Cross Country Competition.

Shamblehurst competed against five other local schools including Berrywood, Wellstead,

Fair Oak, Botley, Freegrounds and Kings Copse. We did incredibly well and we spoke to a

few competitors about how they felt.

‘At first I was scared, and then as I got closer and closer to the end and I realised I was

going to do well and I felt happy!’ Said an elated Charis after her 3rd

place triumph.

All the children did very well. Jayden and Harry took 2nd

and 3rd

places in the year 3 boys’

race. Max K took a tumble at the start but still finished in 6th. Thomas, Oliver, James and

Max L all placed well in a really tough first race. The boys finished 1st overall as a team!

Anna finished a close 4th behind Charis in the year 3 girls’ race with an exhausted Georgia

not far behind.

The year 4 boys had a tough category with all runners being very strong. Taylor finished

9th with Owen, TJ, Ralfs and Rick all finishing strong behind him.

Finally, the year 4 girls took to the field. Maria led the way finishing 6th

with Annabel hot on

her tail in 7th. Abigail, 18th and Eva 30th finished well in a very close race.
