The Richmond School Girls’ Basketball basket a 3rd place! by Kirsten

Last night at Skegness Academy Kirsten, Tia A, Isabelle, Aimee, Molly and Lisa took part in a basketball competition. In the first match we smashed Skegness Junior Academy B, 12 points to 4. Unfortunately Isabelle injured herself in the 2^nd minute of this game and had to not play the game.

Skegness Junior Academy A, were more competitive and unfortunately beat us 20 points to 10. They used their height advantage lots in this game as they had one player as tall as Mr. Ball!

The next match we played was against Friskney, another team of tall Year 6’s, and they just beat us 6 points to 2. This was a very low scoring game and both teams used their defence skills lots.

The last match played was against Woodhall Spa. Isabelle played the last game. We beat them by a big difference of 12 points to 4.

 In the end we came 3^rd. The scores were:

1^st: Skegness Junior Academy A

2^nd: Friskney

3^rd: Richmond

4^th: Woodhall

5^th: Skegness Junior Academy B

“My favourite moment was when I scored my first goal. I scored seven baskets altogether and I am really happy. It was so fun. I definitely want to play the sport again!” - Kirsten.
