A fantastic inter-school dodgeball competition ran in the indoor athletics hall at The Bridge last night. The event was planned for outdoors on four courts but weather dictated the process came inside to be played on two. The change made for a lot more noise and atmosphere though and in that context it was Holbrook School’s team that rose to the occasion to win the event, beating West Chiltington A.
The 13 teams were initially split into four Phase 1 groups. St Robert Southwell was the surprise package in Group A seeing off Southwater and West Chiltington B to qualify for the top tier. Holbrook did likewise in Group B negotiating a tough challenge from Warnham A. West Chiltington a won the decisive match of Group C against Kingslea A to top it. Leechpool A comfortably came through the four team Group D by beating Greenway 6-0 in the winners game.
In the Upper Tier semi-finals Holbrook brought St Robert Southwell back down to earth with a 4-0 result and West Chiltington A was similarly ruthless with Leechpool A to set up a closely contested final that Holbrook shaded 3-2.
Both Warnham teams qualified for the final of the Middle Tier but the A team showed who was boss with a 7-0 win. Kingslea A put the frustration of two narrow first phase losses behind them by winning three straight to top the Lower Tier standings.
