SPORTS SUPER 6 ATHLETICS The first athletics event of the season started with huge success with both the Year 7 and Year 8 Team taking home the overall team bronze medals in the Birmingham School Games Super 6 Competition. The afternoon produced some excellent athletics with outstanding performances in the Year 7 800m (Kai Gordon - 1st Place) and in the Year 8 200m (Nigel Agboola - 1st Place). Both teams improved on their personal bests in their next athletics fixture at Norman Green where Divine Wodi won Gold in the 300m, Nigel Agboola won Silver in both the 200m and Discus and Kai Dawkins won Bronze in both the 800m and Long Jump. A huge well done to all concerned! TURNING THE TABLES The KS3 and 4 Table Tennis teams won the Level 2 School Games Championships and qualified for the Level 3 Championships held at Washwood Heath Academy. This tournament had all of the best teams in the city in attendance. The KS3 team consisted of Yaseen Ahmed 9G, Sulayman Khan 8G, Ahnaf Rahman 9G and Zane Baker 8G. They played Holte in the first game and won 3-1, they then played Stockland Green and won 4-0. In the final pool game we played Plantsbrook School and won 3-1. In the semi-final we had to play Wheelers Lane who came second in their group. We won 3-1. In the final we played King’s Norton Boys’ School who are attached to Colesbridge Table Tennis club so all of the students play club table tennis to a good standard. We drew 2-2 but won on the number of games that we had won. An incredible achievement!! The KS 4 team were playing some of the strongest school table tennis teams that we have seen for a long time. All of the games were close which shows how we have progressed as a school over the last few years. Having a dedicated table tennis coach has pushed our boys on to a higher level. We lost to Wheelers Lane 3-1 (who were the eventual winners) and Holte 3-1. We beat Bishop Vesey 3-1 and Kings Norton Boys 4-0. Overall we came 3rd. The team consisted of Manveer Chahal 11G, Jamie Corpuz 10A, Thien Tran 10G and Hanzblyth Camanzo 11H. Divine Wodi won the 300m at the King Edwards VI Camp Hill Athletics tournament. This was a great win for Divine on his first attempt at this distance.
