U13 North Yorkshire Hockey

Selection took place for the North Yorkshire U13 Hockey Academy on Sunday after a number of training sessions last term.  Three girls from Cundall were selected, from a total of over 50 present at the selection.  Well done to Lili Kettlewell, Josie Proctor and Ellie Watson.

Forms 1 and 2 Swim Squad

There will not be a swim squad on Thursday 22^nd January as there is a swimming gala that evening.

U11 Netball v Brackenfield

A surprisingly good start to the term as the girls have had no netball for at least 5 weeks.  We passed confidently with speed around the (very small) court and were in the lead 7-1 after the first quarter.  Brackenfield did pull back after this and put up a fight.  The final score of 17-13 was a good reflection of the game.  Some of the team need to defend more closely to have greater effect in future.

Cundall Manor Football Results v Moorlands

The 1^st XI team produced a determined 6-3 win versus Moorlands.  The strong running of Will Pepper and goals from Arron Johnson and Jonty Gill secured a comfortable win.  U11As -  the As came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 with excellent determination.  U11Bs - Despite battling away with chances to score the boys lost 3-0.   U9s - In a game of two halves Cundall had secured a healthy lead to hold on to a 5-4 win.

I-Pod Found - after vintage car rally last term, belonging to someone named Paul.  If it is yours please contact the school office.
