Another fantastic primary schools dodgeball competition at The Bridge tonight. This time it was the year 3+4s taking the stage and it was Holbrook who came through as champions. 11 teams from 9 schools convened inside the indoor athletics centre with the weather bad outside.
In Phase 1 teams competed in three groups of three and one of two to determine what tier – from three: Upper, Middle or Lower – of Phase 2 they would compete in.
Closest matches of Phase 1 both came in the fourth round of matches. In Group A Leechpool A beat Northolmes 2-1 and Southwater beat Kingslea by the odd end in five to take top spot in Group C.
The Upper Tier semi-finals came down to the wire also, Holbrook edging out Warnham and Southwater doing similar over Leechpool B to set up a Holbrook v Southwater final which hard throwing and quick dodging Holbrook prevailed in, 3-0.
Leechpool A beat Castlewood A in convincing style to win the Middle Tier and in the Lower Tier Northolmes tight win over Shelley saw them top that level.
