Boys' Championship League Football 2023/24

St. Peter's is taking part in the Boys Championship League Football. 

1st November

On 1st November 2023 we played our first match of the season against Bidborough:-

Last week, on Wednesday 1st November, we played a football match against Bidborough Primary School. After school, our team headed up to Hawkenbury Astroturf, ready to play. After getting onto the pitch, we warmed up for a few minutes before discussing our positions. Once the match started, we knew we were in for a tough game. In the first 30 seconds, they had scored two goals. However hard we tried, we couldn't get a goal of our own. The match ended with a defeat for us but we learned a lot from the game. At least we tried our best! By Jasper and Henryk. 

 

We have played a further four matches in our Championship competition:-

 

22nd November 2023 vs St Augustines Primary School - 2-1 (to St. Augustines)

Cricket Report by Henry Oldham – Year 5

St Peter’s played on the Nevill Cricket Ground, a famous ground and England has once played there! The weather was ideal and there was not a cloud in the sky.

The people who played were year five and six. As we all walked on the pitch we felt a mix of pride, excitement and nervousness, proud to play for our school, excited to start but nervous at the same time.

We did not win but we did extraordinarily well and even came second in our group! I enjoyed the experience and I keep my hopes up for next time.

Dynamos Cricket Tournament - Years 3&4

On 13th June, St Peter's took part in a second Dynamos Cricket Tournament! This time for Years 3 and 4!
