Girls Football – County Finals

On Saturday 8^th February, Brooke H, Brooke F, Lacie, Sophie, Sofia, Carmel, Emily and Maya represented the school in the county round of the Danone Cup for girls at Wainfleet Road, Skegness. In total there were nine teams taking part, each of them representing their area of Lincolnshire. In our group there was Lacey Gardens (representing Louth district), John Harrox (Spalding), Boston West (Boston), and Pointon (Sleaford).

We got off to a good start comfortably winning our first game 3 – 0 against Pointon.

Our second game saw us take a 2 – 0 lead against Lacey Gardens before conceding a late goal which made the final score 2 – 1.

Our 3^rd game, against John Harrox, was a much tighter match with neither team managing to score as the match ended 0 – 0.

We knew going into our final game a draw would guarantee a place in the semi-finals, unfortunately Boston West scored the only goal of the game with the very last kick of the match.

At the end of the group stage we had finished in second place and so progressed through to the semi-finals where we had to play Manor Leas (Lincoln) who had won the other group, winning all their games and scoring lots of goals in the process. We soon found ourselves 3 goals down but in spite of this we did not give up and managed to get a goal back just before halftime. In the second half, we looked the stronger team and when we got a second goal a draw looked possible but unfortunately their goalkeeper was able to pull off a couple of good saves. Manor Leas went on to defeat Boston West in the final.

After losing the semi-final, we had to pick ourselves up for the 3^rd/4^th place play off against Westgate (Lincoln). At the end of normal time the score remained 0 – 0 so the game went into extra-time. We took the lead and despite a few late scares were able to see the game out and secure third place overall.

Team: Luke, Corey, Emerson, Damian, Owen, Ollie, Max and Jenson

School	County
Sacred Heart Catholic Primary	West Midlands
St James C E Primary School	Northamptonshire
Walkwood Middle School	Worcestershire
Swanland Primary School	Humberside
Codsall Middle School	Staffordshire
The Richmond School	Lincolnshire

Whitchurch C E Junior School	Shropshire

Ledbury Primary School	Herefordshire
St Charles’ Catholic Primary School	Derbyshire

In our first game we were unfortunate to lose 2 - 0 against Walkwood, who went on to win the entire competition. Next we were beaten 3 - 0 by Swanland, 4 - 0 by St James and 3 - 0 by Codsall. Our final game was the closest of the day as we lost 1 - 0 against Sacred Heart.
Although results did not go our way nobody gave up and we showed great determination throughout. With six of the team being able to play in next year's competition it is hoped we can learn  from the experience and come back stronger next season.

Codsall and Walkwood from group A, together with West Bridgford and Whitchurch from group B went through to the semi-finals.

West Bridgford defeated Codsall on penalties whilst Walkwood beat Whitchurch.

In the final it was  Walkwood 1 West Bridgford 1 at the end of normal time, with Walkwood winning the penalty shootout.

Boys County Football

Saturday 24th February saw the boys finally get to play in their county finals after the previous attempt to play had been postponed in January.

The squad of Luke, Corey, Owen, George, Emerson and Ollie from Y5 plus Jenson and Max from Y6 began their tournament with a 3 - 1 victory against St Thomas' of Boston.

In our next game we needed a late equaliser against Birchwood (Lincoln) to draw 2-2 and go into our last group game knowing a draw would be enough to see us into the semi-finals. We had to work really hard for another 2-2 draw against Malcolm Sargent Primary from Stamford who were reigning champions having beaten us in the final last year.

As runners up in our group we were drawn against the winners of the other group Spalding Parish.This was a repeat of last years semi-final. Parish scored first and yet again we had to fight back to draw level and force the game into extra-time. As the game went on we got stronger and were able to take the lead and then hold on for a place in the final.

In the final we were up against Bourne Westfield who had beaten Birchwood 3 - 0 in the other semi-final. With Ollie struggling after a bang on the head we had to change our starting lineup for the first half of the final. The game was very close and it looked like Bourne's extra height and strength would see them through. At halftime it was still 0-0 but we were now playing into the wind. By now, Ollie had recovered enough to retake his place and we began to cause them more and more problems. Midway through the second half we were able to create a clear chance and Max slotted the ball past their goalkeeper to give us the lead. The last few minutes seemed like they were never going to end but Luke was able to keep the ball out of our goal helped and we held on to become county champions for the first time since 2014.

We can now look forward to the Midlands Region finals on the 5th May at Nottingham University

Friskney Football Tournament

We had a very successful day at the Friskney 6 a side football tournament on Saturday 25th June.

The girls team, which was mostly made up of Year 5's (Molly, Tia M, Scarlet B, Aimee, Freya, Olivia & Isabelle) plus Chloe from Y6, were hoping to gain some experience ready for next term's competitions. They were in a competition with: Seathorne, Woodhall Spa, Partney, Friskney and Skegness Junior Academy.
They began with a match against Seathorne. In spite of having the majority of possession we were unable to get a goal and a defensive mix up saw Seathorne take the win.
We got our first points in our next game as we beat Friskney.
Our third game saw us draw with Woodhall Spa, meaning we needed to win our last two games to get through to the final.
We beat Skegness Junior Academy and then after a long wait we played Partney. Partney took the lead and looked like they were going to pip us for a spot in the final but the team kept going and managed to equalise and then score a winner to secure our place in the final.

The final was against Woodhall Spa and like the earlier match it was a close game. We spent a lot of time in the Woodhall half but they defended really well and were very dangerous on the counter attack. At the end of normal time it was still 0 - 0 so the match went into extra time with the first goal being a 'golden goal' winner.
We scored to regain the trophy for the 3rd year in a row.

In the boys competition we had 2 teams a Y5 team - again looking for experience ahead of next year's competitions and a Y6 team. In the boys' competition there were 9 teams: Alford, Richmond A, Richmond b, Seathorne, Skegness Junior, Wainfleet, Hawthorn Tree, Woodhall Spa A & Woodhall Spa B. Each team had to play each other once and then the top 4 teams were to go through to the semi-finals.

The Y5 team (Richmond B - Dalton, Mckye, Ethan M, Billy, Frankie and Evan) began with a confidence boosting 5 - 0 win over Woodhall B and went on to play very well all afternoon winning another 5 matches and losing just 2 - a narrow 3-2 loss to Seathorne and a 2-1 loss to Richmond A.

The Y6 team (Richmond A - Ben P, Keelan, Ewan, Louis, Ethan, Alfie and Freddie) went all through the league section with a 100% record with probably their toughest match coming against the Y5's.
The Y6 team came top of the league and the Y5's were just pipped for second by Seathorne on goal difference. This meant Seathorne (2nd) played Hawthorn Tree (4th) and Richmond A (1st) played Richmond B (3rd) in the semi finals.
The Y6 v Y5 game was goalless at the end of normal time and looked to be heading to a penalty shoot out until Alfie knocked in the winner from close range.
In the final Richmond A's opponents were Seathorne. The Richmond defenders stood up well to some very physical play and limited Seathorne to very few chances, whilst our attacking play led to more chances being created at the other end. In the end it took just one goal for Richmond to win back the trophy.

Volleyball Success by Will

On Thursday 21st April, The Richmond Primary School took part in the county finals of volleyball. The team consisted of 4 players: Will, Lenny, Alfie and Charlie, all of them aged 11, and their coach Mrs Dewar.
They traveled to Cherry Willingham Secondary School for the competition.
The team played seven matches and played great for all of them. The tournament would be won by the team with the most points when everybody had played everybody else. The matches were played as 2 v 2 games with players rotating after each point.
At the end of the competition we had a grand total of 114 points, 27 more than anybody else so we were overall winners.
The team received gold medals and the crown of Lincolnshire Primary Schools Volleyball Champions.

Volleyball Success

Girls Football Report

Saturday 14th March - Wainfleet Road, Skegness

Two teams made up of girls from Y5 and Y6 took part in a tournament hosted by Skegness Imps FC, with teams from Skegness Junior Academy, Friskney and Willoughby. A team from Horncastle were also due to take part but did not turn up on the day. 
Our teams were evenly matched (as their first meeting was later to prove) so a coin was tossed to decide who was the 'A' team and who were to be the 'B' team.
A Team: Grace, Hannah, Alex, Amy, Ruby, Charlie-Ann
B: Team: Millie, Holly, Ava, Jeniffer, Chloe, Olivia T, Olivia H

In order that the games took place the results were:
Richmond B 8 Willoughby 0
Richmond A 3 Willoughby 0
Richmond B 2 Skegness Junior 0
Richmond B 2 Friskney 0
Richmond A 0 Richmond B 0
Richmond A 1 Friskney 0
Richmond A 2 Skegness Junior 0

This meant both teams were through to the semi-finals. The B team recovered from conceding their first goal of the morning to beat Friskney, whilst the A team had a walkover against Skegness Junior.

In the final the B team beat the A team 2 - 0.
