School sports news
At our end of term Assembly yesterday afternoon we handed out our Sports Awards for the second term. Congratulations to all pupils who were awarded for their contributions to our winter sporting programme. Assemblies such as these give us the platform to acknowledge the efforts and passion that our pupils display in the sporting sphere.
Our U13A Junior Netball and Hockey girls recently went on a sports tour to George where they would play against Holy Cross Primary and Glenwood School.
We congratulate Mr James Winstanley on his appointment as Assistant Coach to the SA Schools Rugby Team.
The anticipated hype around the K-Day fixture was played out in front of a packed audience on Saturday. Both teams gave their all from the very start in a brutally intense encounter.
The Kingswood 1st team hockey girls had their annual derby against DSG on KDay this past weekend.
The atmosphere was electric with a massive crowd to support both teams. Before the match started, each school’s grade 8s performances their skit which started the match on a high.
Our Senior Netball Girls brought the HEAT across the board yesterday afternoon culminating in a nail-biting 1st Team match against DSG.
The atmosphere was set for a titanic battle last night. The Kingswood boys were ready for the battle and their focus set on one goal. The game started off with a bang as we put pressure on the St Andrew’s keeper with three goal-scoring opportunities.
A good level of support for both schools made for quite a festive atmosphere at the St Andrew’s squash courts on Monday night. The evening saw the top 6 players from both schools kicked off with Tyenu Cannon facing off against SAC’s Ross Gordon. The number 6 match was a more tightly contested affair than the 3/0 score line would attest to with Cannon taking some time to get accustomed to the SAC players unorthodox style of play. After taking the 2nd game 17/15 the momentum definitively shifted in Kingswood’s favour.
Last night the 1st XI hockey girls played a match against DSG. The girls went into the game with a positive mindset and determination to play their best. The first few minutes were played with vigour, getting into the opposing D a number of times.
After two years of not being able to host the annual U13 Co-Ed Hockey Festival we were delighted to once again take to the hockey Astro and welcome schools to our festival.
