Big Congratulations to all that participated this last week with the events being greatly supported and the level of competition being high.

The week kicked off with the rearranged fixture of Y5&6 Quicksticks hockey in which 11 schools came to participate in the Greater Manchester School Games Qualifier. 18 teams were separated into 4 groups with the top team in each going into the Semi-Finals. The final was contested between Broadfield and Hodge Clough in which a great game was played and both schools qualifying for the Greater Manchester Games.

During the Monday 21 children participated in 3 sports at Radclyffe School: Boccia; New Age Kurling and Inclusive Tennis. Consisting of a rotation the children were able to compete and participate in each allowing them to broaden their skills and learn new sports.

Tuesday saw Radclyffe host the years first Volleyball competition Year 7/8 Boys and 3 schools entered Radclyffe, Hulme and Oasis. After close competitions and a great display of skill shown by all boys, Hulme A came out victorious.

The following day had 2 events with SEND Boccia League and Year 7&8 Girls Hockey at night. The day started with the Boccia competition at the Ball Hall and 5 schools from across Oldham came to participate, a display of skill and sportsmanship was clear to see with the behaviour of all the schools outstanding to watch. St Mary’s B came out the victors however it was good to see such a large group taking part. Later that afternoon Girls Hockey at Newman College allowed girls to get into a new sport which they may not have tried before with 2 schools attending, Newman and Oasis. It was clear to see the skill of those who have already played the sport and play for teams but also the improvement made by those who had never played the game before. Goals and tackles were flying in from everywhere and Newman came out winners of a closely fought tournament.

First up the Final of the Multiskills with 7 schools coming to take part in such a close fought event, no more than 10 points separated 1st and 7th with every school representing themselves in a spectacular way.
