12 children took part in the district volleyball competition.  They were split into 3 teams of 4 with each team competing in of 4 mini-leagues for a place in the quarter finals.
Team 3 (Eva, Libby-May, Colby and Evie) were up against Toynton, Burgh 1 and Friskney 2. They improved with each game but were unable to pick up any wins and so were eliminated after the group stage.
Team 2 (Damian, Owen, Madi and Scarlet) were in a group with Burgh 4, Chapel 3 and Friskney 1. They began with 14 - 10 win against Friskney and followed this with a 20 - 4 win against Chapel and a 21 -4 win against Burgh. This put them top of their league and gave them a place in the quarter-finals.
Team 1 (Corey, Luke, Ollie and Emerson) were drawn with Burgh 3, Chapel 2 and St Andrew's 1. They began with a 20 - 8 win against St Andrew's, followed by a 22 - 10 win against Burgh and a 13 - 7 win against Chapel. They also topped their group and gained a place in the quarter-finals.

In the quarter-finals Richmond 1 defeated Burgh 1, whilst Richmond 2 beat St Andrew's 2.
The two Richmond teams were drawn against each other in the semi-finals, with Richmond 1 just edging through to the final.
The final was Richmond 1 against St Andrew's 1. We built up an early lead but St Andrew's then battled back to level the scores with a couple of minutes to go. We finished strongly to win out winners by 19 - 14. The team can now start training for the county finals which will be held next summer.

6R won all their group games and went into a playoff for positions 1 - 3. They lost their first play-off against Friskney but then defeated Burgh in their final game.

On Tuesday 24th March, a team of boys from Year 5 took part in a volleyball competition at Skegness Academy. 

The team was put together at very short notice, after the date of the competition had been changed to a day when our Y6 players were unavailable. Three of the team, Ethan, Louis and Arthur only found out the day before the competition they were taking part and so had little time to practise. The fourth member of the team Freddie had been part of the team who had been due to take part in the competition the week before and so was more prepared thanks to working with Mrs Dewar every Tuesday after school since January. 

In spite of the lack of practice and being up against teams mainly made up of Y6 players, the boys won most of their matches and when the total points scored during the afternoon were added up they found they had won by a good distance.
