On Thursday the 16th June, 2016, Hambridge became the venue for the annual CLP Year 3/4 Football tournament.

9 schools from across the CLP played in a fantastic tournament that was played under sunny conditions.

Just like the European Championships in France, there was plenty of competitive action with all the teams being evenly matched.

After an initial group stage which saw Long Sutton and Curry Mallet advance from Group A and Charlton Mackerel and Hambridge advance from Group B. It came down to the semi finals.

Charlton Mackerel fought their way past Long Sutton and Curry Mallet held off a late fight back from Hambridge to advance into the final in which Curry Mallet proved too strong winning 3-1.

All the teams can be proud of the day they played on an afternoon where football was the real winner.

Tag Rugby - South Somerset Area Finals

Tuesday proved to be a busy day for everyone at Hambridge. The cornet club were playing in Frome, the chior were singing in Yeovil and the tag rugby team visited Castle Cary to take part in the South Somerset Area Finals.

Unfortunately a young and inexperienced Hambridge side were unable to defend their title. They went out of the competition in the group stages although they played some really good rugby.

Playing five games in the group stages the teams record was played 5 Won 1 Drawn 2 Lost 2 meaning they narrowly missed out on a semi final spot.

The team showed great togetherness and were extremely competitive throughout the competition.

Well played Team.

Blue House take KS2 Girls House Football Competition

The 2^nd of October to the 9^th of October was international girl’s football week at Hambridge School. We already have a successful girls football club so we decided to play an inter-house girls football tournament. The first matches were Blue vs Red and Green vs Yellow for KS2.

In the Blue vs Red match there was a lot of throw ins and goal kicks. But Blue advanced to the finals after beating red 6-0. In the Green vs Yellow match  there was a lot of goal kicks and saves but it was the Greens that advanced into the finals against Blue with a 4-1 win. It was great!

These results mean that Reds played Yellow for 3^rd and 4^th position. Blue then played Green for 1^st and 2^nd.  In the Blue vs Green match Erin got slide tackled twice by Jess the goal keeper and Lily! But she was okay. Despite a gutsy performance by Greens, the Blues proved to be too strong and took the title with a 4-1 win! We shook hands and congratulated each other. In the game between Yellow vs Red, Red won 4-0 letting them take 3^rd place and with Yellow finishing 4^th. 

Thank you, girls for taking part you played amazingly, well done. Also thank you to our referees Mr Thompson and Mr Francombe. Thank you to Mrs Mckay for organising this great event and a massive thank you for coaching us.
