FOOTBALL SEASON – AUTUMN TERM 2009.
Looking back over the past 7 weeks, there is much to celebrate and to be very proud of. In fact I would go as far to say that this has been our most successful season for 6 years and the results clearly show this.
Starting with the 1st XI who played some excellent football throughout the term and apart from one match (a rare and very underserved defeat against Durlston) recorded a very pleasing set of results, the highlight being winning the Moyles Court Tournament for the 2nd year running.
The team of the season was definitely the Colts who not only won every match, they also recorded tournament wins at Moyles Court and at Castle Court. A tremendous achievement and one which will be very tough to beat in years to come. However the U10’s will have a very good chance of repeating this success as they have remained unbeaten once again; they have now been unbeaten for 3 seasons. So hopefully the Moyles Court and Castle Court trophies will be at Hordle Walhampton for another year – at least that’s the target!
The other highlights are the U11B winning at Twyford and the 3rd XI winning at Dumpton. All of the other teams have improved during the season and the standard of football has been very high. It is important to note that every boy in the school has represented the school during the season and on some Wednesdays; we have had every boy playing in a match, clearly illustrating our sport for all policy. With rugby in full swing now, let’s hope we can continue this success.
