Heron Way A are the year 6 football tournament winners after beating Southwater A in tonight’s final at the Tanbridge astroturf. Southwater took an early lead and then proceeded to miss a golden opportunity to double their lead as one of their players broke through but with only the keeper to beat fired straight at him. Heron Way equalized just before half time and then with just 90 seconds left on the clock struck the killer blow to win 2-1.

Nine schools convened upon the Pavilions in the Park swimming pool on Wednesday to compete in the annual primary schools gala. As usual teams could be entered in the A event for club swimmers plus any non-club children prepared top ‘swim-up’ and the B event for non-club swimmers only.

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.
