AS Students @ Football Tournaments

A group of 11 year 4 - 6 students were the first to represent Amesbury School at a sports' event. In fact, they participated in both the Northern Zone Schools' Football competition and the Primary Schools' Wellington Football Tournament.

Though they were a new team and many of the participants were not regular Football players, the team represented our school in fine style.

"Thank yous" and appreciation: I was very impressed with the way students committed themselves to practicing at lunchtimes and their enthusiasm on the day. A big thanks to John Murrihy who coached the team and took a number of lunchtime practices. Also thanks to Zara and Serena Murrihy who reffed on behalf of our team as well as helping out at practices. Thanks, of course, to the parents and teachers who provided supervision, transport, supported from the sideline and shared food. Oh and thanks to North Wellington Football Club for lending us uniforms.

Sporting events coming up this term: Netball; Northern Zone, PSW Interzone and Regional Cross Country; Hockey - we hope there is interest and support.

PS. If you are interested in/able to help us get a team into the Hockey tournament - please let us know. The Northern Zone Hockey Tournament is 21 June.
