Hambridge 10 Huish 1

Team Hambridge football team produced a stunning second half display in this friendly game against fellow Levels Academy Trust School Huish Episcopi.

Hambridge found themselves 3-0 up at half time thanks to Joe R, Tom T and an own goal. But it was the second half where Hambridge stretched away. Tom completed is hat trick and Joe R scored a second half hat trick with Freddie scoring two to make it double figures.

The scoreline however didn't not reflect the game and on another day Huish could have scored a few themselves.

Year 6 Boys Football Team fall short at YTFC Tournament

The Year 6 boys football team finished runners up in the recent Yeovil Town Football League Schools tournament.

The event held at Huish Park, Yeovil on Friday 16th October, 2015 saw two teams from Hambridge take part further underlining the strength in depth at the school. Unfortunately, Hambridge B were unable to get out their group with Hambridge A qualifying for the knock out stages.

However the A side were taken to a nail biting sudden death penalty shoot out in their Semi Final against Wyke. Indeed they were indebted to goalkeeper Joe who made the all important save after Tom  had given Hambridge the advantage.

Unfortunately Hambridge's efforts were undone as they came up against a strong Selwood Academy side who went on to win the tournament.

The final result shouldn't detract from an excellent day's football. Well done to everyone who took part and a big thank you to Mr Francombe and Mr Akers for their help in organising the day.

The second half saw a fight back as a more resilient Hambridge emerged. Tom once again took the lead grabbing two quick goals to complete a hat trick and reduced the deficit to 5-3.
