Handball

National Schools Handball Finalists!

Well done to every single squad member on their immense efforts in the Finals. It was a big stage and you rose to the challenge. A win, draw and two narrow losses is an amazing achievement especially when we have very little handball experience.

You should be so proud of yourselves – Presdales first ever handball finalists. Bouncing back makes the next step even sweeter – we’ll be back!

Tennis

◘ Well done to our brilliant U13 tennis players for their achievements against Monks Walk on 4th June. Fantastic performances on display with Presdales confidently winning both doubles matches, and 3 out of 4 singles matches. Great attitude and sportsmanship throughout!

◘ Congratulations to the Year 7, 8, 9 and 10 tennis teams who recently played in a district tournament against Broxbourne. The Year 8, 9 and 10’s were playing to progress to the county finals. The Year 8’s and 9’s won overall but unfortunately the Year 10’s narrowly just lost! Good luck to the Year 8 and 9 teams at the County Finals on the 26th June!

◘ A fine display of tennis skills from our Year 9 and 10s last week against Parmiters. Some incredibly tough matches producing some stunning shots from our players. Great resilience throughout when competing in true tennis weather conditions! Well done girls!

Rounders

Presdales v Chauncy

Well done to the Year 9 and 10 rounders teams who played against Chauncy on 4th June. The Year 9s were on form and won their game….. some of their bats only being stopped by the Chauncy school buildings!! The Year 10s were unlucky to not win, however, some great batting and fielding throughout the game! Next time!!

Year 9 District Rounders Tournament

Massive congratulations to the Year 9 rounders team who won the district rounders tournament on 6th June! They remained undefeated throughout the group stages and won the semi final against Goffs. In the final we started off fielding and the girls were first class, 5 of the team caught players out and then we managed to get the whole of the Broxbourne team out on a score of 1 & 1/2 rounders by stumping the batting box to end the innings early. We then went into bat and scored 7 rounders meaning the Year 9 rounders team are DISTRICT CHAMPIONS for the 3rd year running!!

Star Players – the whole team!

Well done to the Year 10 rounders team who came 2nd in the district tournament this week! A great finish to the season, congratulations!!
