U13 National Shield Quarter Finalists

Our U13 Netball team travelled to Churchers College in Plymouth this week to play their Quarter final match. The whole team put out an exceptionally strong performance entering the final quarter 16-16. Despite an inspiring team talk from Em, the match finished 18-20 to Churchers. Well done to all and special mention to Juliette (8PL) and Em (8SR) as Player of the Match.

U12 Netball

Our U12 Netball team took to the court to play in the Quarter final of the National Shield against Claremont Fan Independent School, London. We are overwhelmingly proud of the team who embodied all of our values throughout a tough game. We were trailing by 1 at half time and the game was so competitive, it could have gone either way. The girls were very resilient but unfortunately couldn’t take the lead, losing narrowly. The team enjoyed cookies and juice from Mr White to finish the afternoon! Congratulations to all and to Player of the match – Florence (7SL).

U12 Football

Well done to our amazing U12 Football team who this week played Oldfield School in the Somerset County Cup quarter final. The girls played so well and won the game 8-0 to secure a place in the semi final! Well done to Chiho (7ER) who was voted player of the match for the team after scoring a fantastic opener for Hayesfield. We can’t wait for the semi-final and some more fun football!

Year 9 Netball vs KES

A great evening on Netball for our Year 9 A and B team. It was a fantastic experience to play at Bath University on their prestigious courts. Our A team showed how much they have developed throughout the season, demonstrating excellent teamwork and really understanding each others movement to be able to bring the ball down the court fluently. They finished with a 17-7 win, well done to players of the match Amity (9EL) and Eva (9EL).

Our Y9B team had a great experience and built throughout the game. They showed excellent flexibility in their ability to play a range of positions. Unfortunately they could not bring the win home on this occasion but took a lot away from the game. We were very impressed with their positivity through the match. Well done to Players of the match Florence (9EL) and Elsie (9EL).

U16 Football

On Monday our U16 football team made the journey to LEAF Academy School, Bournemouth to play in the ESFA 5th round. The Hayesfield Girls started strong with Theonie E-S (10PL) finding the back of the net within the first 2 minutes of the game starting. This helped set the tone for the rest of the first half, with the girls working hard in defence, putting passes together in the middle and having multiple chances on goal.

This hard worked paid off and once again Theonie found the back of the net to make it 2-0 to Hayesfield coming into the break. LEAF where a strong, physical team and we knew they were going to come out fighting in the second half. The Hayesfield defence worked tirelessly to keep them at bay with Scarlett B putting her neck on the line in goals to make sure their hard work paid off.

Unfortunately, LEAF came into the game and we sadly lost bowing out of the ESFA. We are all so proud of what the girls have achieved this season already. Reaching the final 32 teams out of 340 in is a massive achievement in itself. We now dust ourselves off and move our focus to the Somerset Cup. Well Done girls!

Lusciana F (10AR), Polly P (10SR), Martha M (10PR), Stella McN (11ER), Theonie E-S (10PL), Tia M (11PR), Connie M (11ER), Millie T (11ER), Lyra B (10sr), Scarlett B (10SR), Poppy F (11EL), Lily E (10SR), Elsa P (10EL).

New Sports

Our Year 10 and 11 PE classes tried out two new sports this week during their core lessons- Kinball and Battle Archery. Lots of fun and learning of new skills for the girls!
