A super well done to our Y5/6 hockey team whose dedication in training over the past few weeks with Mrs Stansfield has done them all proud. They're the first Neston hockey team to win our cluster event since 2011! A big thank you to skillful Mrs Stansfield who will continue to coach the team in preparation for the Level 3 event that they've now qualified for. The team is a mix of experienced players who play for Corsham and absolute newcomers to the sport. We are all especially pleased that, just like last year, some of the newcomers to our school team have caught the hockey bug and are now looking into joining the Corsham hockey club too.

Congratulations to co-captains Kate and Ben and their super squad of Zoe, Isabelle, James, Lily, Lenny, Tom, Leo, Ned, Will and Evie for taking part with terrific team spirit in the Level 3 matches at Corsham School.
More School Games action for Neston - this time netball!
The Y5/6 netball squad took part in 5 Level 2 matches over two afternoons at Corsham Comp (which were officiated by two 6th formers who played for Neston when they were in Year 6!). Martha and Rosie took on the role of captain along with the decisions of who would play in which position. They and the squad (Zoe, Katherine, Kate, Ellen, Ben, Barney and Finn) got stronger and stronger as the tournament progressed. They worked on their passing and marking and won 3 games out of the 5. Special mention goes to our goal scorers Zoe and Ben for their composure and to Martha who was one of the 3 pupils out of all the schools taking part to be commended by Mrs Long (the SGO) for her defensive skills!
Neston Girls Cricket team comes second in competition!
Our girls team, ably managed by Captains Katherine and Kate, took part in a tournament on 3.10.16. We achieved the main aims of the event which were to have fun and to increase our cricketing skills and it was the icing on the cake to come second - only missing out on first place by 5 points (one out). We're looking forward to more competition in Terms 5 and 6!
A fantastic first event of our School Games calendar
Well done to our Year 5/6 mixed-cricket team for competing in our first inter-school event for this year! It was wonderful to see some of our more seasoned cricketers building their team work and leadership skills by supporting and guiding those with less cricket experience. Our most valuable players were Lauren, who had two brilliant catches; Ellie, who got players out with both her bowling and her fielding and Ned, who ran players out. Our most improved player was Niamh, who put into practise what she's learned at school with some strong batting and accurate bowling. She gained in confidence so much throughout the tournament that she was asking to be wicket keeper by the last match and did a great job of it! Three cheers also for Captains Will and Taylon, Leo, Lenny, Isabel and Chloe who did Neston proud with their positive attitudes and hard work!
