Congratulations to our hockey players who are top of their league after storming to victory in a city school tournament.

 

Our Under 14s Girls’ Hockey team competed for the first time in the Sheffield Schools’ Sports Federation Hockey Tournament, which was organised by Tapton School and hosted by King Ecgbert’s.

 

The Westbourne girls took first place after scoring victories against Silverdale, King Ecgbert’s and Tapton and holding Sheffield High School to a goalless draw.

 

“This was a brilliant day for the girls,” said Mrs Mirfin“ They have worked really hard to attain this level and were playing against some outstanding teams so to be placed first at their first attempt is quite an achievement.”


Jemima at Stafford One Day Event

Talented young horsewoman Jemima Board in Year 8 took part in a team One Day Event in Stafford in October.  At this type of event, the three best scores go through to the next round.  Jemima did incredibly well in the Dressage round despite the horrendously windy weather conditions. She went clear in the Show Jumping and clear in the Cross Country.

Her team went on to win her class with Jemima coming individually 10th out of 25.  

This was a superb effort from Jemima,  especially considering that she has trained and brought on her young horse herself - a young horse that was labelled ‘an incredibly difficult young mare to ride’

The judge said that her new young horse was " A spectacular young horse displaying huge potential for the future".  And praised Jemima for her patience and skill.
