Shelley School won the year 3+4 dodgeball championships played tonight in the indoor athletics hall (‘The Tube’) at The Bridge leisure centre as a consequence of wet weather preventing play outdoors. They won a round-robin of eight teams from six schools, winning six of their seven matches and, interestingly, only being defeated by bottom team Southwater B in their second match of the night.

The third and final meeting of the Horsham Primary Schools Girls Football League took place tonight at the Tanbridge astroturf in bitterly cold weather. Heron Way A were heavy favourites starting the night in pole position and never looked like relinquishing that advantage as they added another three wins to their record. The bigger question mark hovered around second spot with Southwater and Leechpool front sides matching each other point for point but the former prevailing by a goal difference of just three.

15 children from two schools – Kingslea and St Mary’s Pulborough – took part in a table tennis skills festival at The Forest School on Friday. The event involved learning and informal, self-scoring competition and Finn and Charlie from Kingslea emerged as winners accumulating 430 points, 20 ahead of schoolmates Ayaan and Jack.

Last Thursday’s netball league Division A was affected by the postponement of three matches due to one of the three courts becoming too slippy to play on. Thankfully those matches can be squeezed into the second and final meeting due after February half term.

The next generation of netball talent in the Horsham area was on show at Millais School on Thursday as school year 3+4 children (aged 7-9) gathered in a festival event under the tutelage of a year 9 group of sports leaders from the secondary school.

Southwater enjoyed double success at tonight’s year 5+6 Horsham primary schools dodgeball tournament. Their A team became champions off the back of a sequence of four straight wins climaxing with a 2-0 defeat of Leechpool A in the final. Southwater B suffered a first phase loss to Kingslea A but bounced back in fine style in Phase 2 Division B again beating a Leechpool team, B, in the final.
