This year was our first year entering the Year 6 Quicksticks Hockey Tournament with the Featherstone Partnership. We conducted Hockey trials and chose our best players.  We selected four boys and four girls to form two teams. Every game our teams needed to be rotated which made it difficult to change the team formations. Before the tournament started the team discussed tactics on how we could beat our opponents. If we faced a tough team it was agreed to use a 3-1 formation otherwise when attacking we would use 2-1-1 to help drive the ball forward. Once we arrived, we were given our fixtures. Our first game was against North Primary B which we won 3-0. A special shout out to Arthur (6S) for scoring a hat trick in this game. This brought confidence into the team then we played Three Bridges Primary and scored two early goals. Unfortunately, we became complacent and Three Bridges brought it back and ended up beating us 3-2. Next, we were due to play John Perryn Primary and again we won 4-0. Yet another hat trick was scored by Arthur (6S) and a great goal by Hector (6S). Our final game in the group stages was against St Marks B Primary which we beat 2-0 with goals from Flo H (6H) and Emma (6F). Due to the fact, we won all our games except one we were through to the Quarterfinals. We had to face our St Marks A who we beat 3-1 Thanks to Arthur (6S) and Hector (6S). Now we were in the semi-finals against our rivals Three Bridges Primary who unfortunately beat us 4-0. Therefore, we came third place overall out of 12 schools.

Thank you to our defence George (6P), Lana (6F) and Emma (6F) or else we could have lost the games badly. Great passing between Hector (6S) and Arthur (6S) to score. Theo (6S), Flo H (6H) and Ruth (6S) all worked well driving the ball towards the goal and adding pace to the game.

3rd place
