tag challenge
THE top 12 tag rugby playing
primary schools in Somerset
contested the Tag to Twickenham
County Final at Wells RFC.
All the participating schools had
successfully won local partnership
festivals to qualify for the county
final, with the top four winning a
place in the South West regional
final at Taunton School.
Teams were divided into three
pools during the qualifying
morning session, providing
placings for the Cup, Plate and Vase
competitions in the afternoon.
The event was supported by 20
young leaders from Millfield School,
supervised by ex-Bath player and
rugby master at the school John
Mallett. The young leaders had
completed the RFU Tag Rugby
qualification and used their newly
learnt skills to coach, officiate and
support the teams on the day.
Mr Mallett said: “It’s a fantastic
way for our pupils to gain further
experience outside of the school
environment, this kind of event is
an excellent opportunity for all the
pupils to get involved.”
Wrington were County Cup
winners, closely followed by St
Stephen’s. Westfield and Ash won
the Plate and Vase respectively.

Cup: Winner Wrington; runner-up St

● In Bristol, there were three local
tennis competitions hosted at
David Lloyd Bristol South, Westbury on Trym and City Academy
and attended by more than 15
teams. The four teams going
through to represent Bristol are:
Westbury Park, Elmlea, St
Patrick’s and Southville.
The competitions continued at
Nailsea Tennis Club where four
teams took part in the North Somerset
Schools
Competition,
involving pupils from years three
and four from Backwell Juniors
and Fairfield.
Fairfield A came out on top,
winning all three of their
matches.
Organisers say the tournament
was very competitive, with the
other three teams all recording
one match win, so the final result
had to be decided by the number of
games each team had won.
It was Backwell A who took the
runners up spot, with Fairfield B
third and Backwell B fourth.
Matt Rogers from Nailsea Tennis Club, who helped with the
organisation of the tournament,
said: “There was some fantastic
play on show this afternoon, it
was really good to see the high
level of sportsmanship displayed
by every single player.”
✁
THOUSANDS of pupils across
Bristol, South Gloucestershire and
North Somerset take part in sport
festivals and competitions. They
are delivered by School Sport
Partnerships, based around a
sports college and include all the
primary, secondary and special
schools in that area. Each
partnership has a development
manager who works with
secondary school sport
co-ordinators and primary link
teachers and the Wesport
Competition Managers to promote
school sport and increase sporting
opportunities on offer. The last
feature of this academic year will
be published on July 27 to mark
the countdown to London 2012 –
if you want your pupils’ event to
be featured next time, liaise with
your school sport co-ordinator.

THE Somerset year six cricket finals
were held at the County Ground,

YEAR three and four pupils from
North Somerset schools took part
in an Aquasplash Festival.
Organised by the Wesport Competition team and held at Hutton
Moor Leisure Centre, it involved
pupils from Ashcombe, Castle Batch
and Walliscote.
Aquasplash festivals are designed
to cater for both swimmers and
non-swimmers.
The festivals give the youngsters
the chance to experience all swimming disciplines in a fun and inclusive environment and included water
polo, synchronised swimming, life
saving and diving.
Qualified swim teachers provided
by the Leisure Centre led the festival.
A spokesman for the festival said:
“The atmosphere at the event was
fun, enjoyable and exciting, with all
the
children
being
inspired
throughout by the high quality swimming teaching.
“We would like to thank the Somerset Amateur Swimming Association for providing funding for the
event.”

pools and played four matches.
Bathwick St Mary lost one of their pool
games but so did two other schools.
This meant the run rate was taken
into consideration and Bathwick St
Mary scored highly and progressed to
the final where they faced St Stephen’s
Primary which had won all their pool
games!
Organisers said it was a tense final
with the result decided in the final
over of the St Stephen’s batting
innings.
St Stephen’s needing 221 to win
broke free from some really tight bowling to score a six which enabled the
batsman to relax and pad out the final
balls.
The three different events
were held as part of Lloyds
TSB National School Sports
Week.
At Ashton Park School
Sport Partnership Festival
at Merchants’ Academy, 350
pupils took part in a range
of activities from judo to
trampolining and from hip
hop dance to ultimate Frisbee.
Cherry Kraus, partnership development manager,
said: “One ten-year-old
pupil said ‘I wish I could do
this every day, I love it!’
“It’s great to be able to
offer so many pupils the
opportunity to try a whole
new range of sports. We also
tied in the Olympic values
to the day, in particular
‘friendship’ and ‘equality’.”
Meanwhile more than 250
schoolchildren from 14
north Bristol schools took
part in a range of Olympic
and Paralympic sports at
Bristol
University’s
Coombe Dingle Sports Complex. They were joined by
Olympian Jamie Baulch.
The children staged an
Olympic-themed
opening
ceremony, before attempting to achieve their personal
best in a range of different
sports – including athletics,
cycling and judo.
And around 200 pupils
also took part in the
Primary Festival of Sport at
the City Academy, Bristol.
The festival was aimed at
Year 4 pupils, who were able
to try sports including fencing, boxing, handball, taekwondo, badminton, table
tennis and volleyball.

The festival started with a
mass “wake and shake”
warm-up before pupils split
into groups and tried out
some of the 14 different
Olympic sports on offer,
many of which were run by
professional coaches.
The focus of the day was
on fun and pupils even got to
sit in a canoe while playing
Wii Sports Canoe Slalom to
get as close as they could to
canoeing on dry land. There
was also a fancy dress relay
race and even hobby horses
to capture the equestrian
spirit.
The event, organised by
sport administrator Nicola
Parsons and Sarah Fear, key
stage two teaching and
learning specialists, who
are based at the City
Academy.
Sarah said: “The School
Sports Partnership Team at
the City Academy are really
excited to be hosting so
many local primary schools.
The pupils will be experiencing many Olympic
sports for the first time and
our hope is that they will be
inspired to pursue some of
these activities outside of
school, and who knows, may
even become a future
Olympian.”
