Year 8 Boys are runners up in 6-a-side tournament

On Wednesday the year 8 boys played in the District 6-a-side football tournament at Turnford School. The team was captained by Josh Tilley and included Conor Laurella, Zack Abdelhamid, Spencer Wareham, Cameron Williams-Willard, Patrick Duffy, George Lynn and Sean Harris. The boys played 6 matches winning against St. Mary’s (2-0), Sele (4-0) and Sheredes (1-0), drawing against Cheshunt and Turnford and were beaten by John Warner (0-1). The above results left Simon Balle in 2nd place behind Sheredes. Sean Harris had a fantastic tournament in goal making crucial saves. This was a great end to a very successful season for the boys.

Saturday football v Sele School

The year 8′s and 9′s played their last Saturday fixture today against Sele school. It was a fantastic sunny morning and both games were played in good spirits. The year 8′s drew 5-5 with debut’s from Tom Thornton and Leonard Radley. The year 9′s drew 2-2. A big well done all year groups who have represented Simon Balle this season.

Sports Relief at Simon Balle

We have had a very successful week of Sports Relief at Simon Balle where all students were given the opportunity to participate in the Sports Relief mile. Assemblies also ran throughout the week. Half year groups ran the mile in their lessons and also contributed towards the Sports Relief charity. The top boys time was Lawrence Barltrop (5.36), year 12 followed by year 11 student Shaun Munoz (5.37). The leadings girls were both from year 7 with Danielle Hills running 6.44 to Louise Reilly’s time of 6.47. On Friday we also had a very successful tug-o-war competition at lunch-time where the year 11 girls and year 11 boys shared the prizes of Sport Relief water bottles. Our star fund raiser was Georgina Braggins who ran 10 miles throughout the day to raise well over £50 at the time of writing, well done Georgina. The day finished with a staff volleyball match after school. A big thank you to everyone who ran the mile and supported and promoted Sports Relief over the past week.
