The Year 3’s brought the latest instalment of the primary school football tournament series at Tanbridge tonight and it was Leechpool A who took the top prize with a victory against Shelley in the final, on penalties after the match ended scoreless at the end of normal time.

This season’s third and final Horsham area primary schools sports hall athletics event, the year 4s, was won by Heron Way yesterday as they amassed 368 points, 16 ahead of nearest challengers Southwater Junior Academy and another 34 ahead of third placed Kingslea.

A tremendous night of year 4 football at the Tanbridge astroturf tonight and it was Southwater A being the most tremendous of the nine teams there, winning all eight of its encounters to win the event in style, six points ahead of nearest rivals Kingslea.

Shelley proved the surprise package at the last meeting of the Horsham Primary Schools Netball League Division B this season, coming through from mid-table to top spot as a result of four straight victories. Leaders at the start of the night added two wins to their first meeting total but suffered a critical 4-3 loss to Kingslea B in the night’s most exciting match.

Southwater B are the year 5 football tournament winners after beating Heron Way A on penalties in a tight final. There were some classy passing football teams gracing the event – Southwater A, Heron Way A and Pulborough – but Southwater B showed that grit and determination can be just as important. Their ability to dig in and grind out results saw them nudge second place in the group stage and then tough out the play-offs stage with two scoreless draws followed by success with the spot kick deciders. There’s more than one way to be successful.

Leechpool A won the Horsham Primary Schools Netball League, topping the Division A title after maintaining their unbeaten status all the way to the end of the process. North Heath A pushed them all the way, coming in as runners-up and Southwater  came third on goal difference after they enjoyed an excellent final evening of four straight victories.
