Please note, Wednesday 13 December will be the last swimming lesson this term for Junior 3 and 4.

Swimming sessions for Junior 3 and 4 will begin again next term on Wednesday 10 January 2024.

A group of Junior 3 girls spent last Thursday afternoon at a hockey festival at Warwick Prep School. They were due to play outdoors on the astroturf but due to the freezing cold weather conditions, the tournament was played indoors.

The team played four games that were only six minutes each way so they had to make sure they were completely focused on the task in hand right from the first whistle!

Their first match was against Cardus School. Poppy immediately applied pressure to their defence and the team swiftly scored their first goal! The goals came thick and fast from Charley, Fiorella and Xanthe. Crackley won 5-0.

The second match against King Henry’s was more closely matched. After some excellent link up play by Sloane and Ashleigh, the girls managed to score a goal. On the final whistle King Henry’s scored a somewhat dubious goal with their foot which wasn’t recorded so the final result was a 1-0 win.

Their third match was against an all-boys team from Arnold Lodge. Despite some crunching tackles, our girls kept up their winning streak and beat Arnold Lodge 2-0.

The last match was against Kingsley. The girls dominated the game from start to finish, scoring six goals in total. Harriet and Laura did a fantastic job of protecting our goal which resulted in yet another clean sheet. The final score was 6-0.

Not only did the girls play some excellent hockey, but they demonstrated wonderful sportsmanship. They were true representatives of Crackley Hall School. Well done U8s!

Playing for Crackley Hall were: Poppy (C) Sloane (VC) Fiorella, Poppy, Laura, Xanthe, Coach: Mrs Carroll
