Year 3 & 4 Cluster Hockey Tournament

"The year 3 & 4 quick sticks hockey tournament on Wednesday 9th March at
Wollaston school was very well attended. There were 14 teams from 7
different local primary schools. Due to the number of teams entering the
tournament, we decided to run it as two separate competitions with 7 teams
in each. To avoid teams moving to much we ran one competition on Wollaston
schools top Astro and one on the bottom Astro. We had over 20 young leaders
from the Wollaston schools sports leadership academy supporting the
tournament. The experienced year 9 sports leaders took charge, with one
leader working with each primary school. The year 7 & 8 leaders were
attending their first tournament, so were shown the ropes by the older
leaders. With 6 hockey pitches in use each round, we had 12 teams playing
all the time and 2 teams resting each rotation.

The level of commitment and enjoyment from the pupils was brilliant to see
and the standard of play was a credit to the teachers that have been
coaching the students in lessons. All matches we refereed by the  Wollaston
sports leaders. The Sports leaders also helped primary staff run teams
making sure they got to the pitches on time. After one and a half hours of
hockey there was little to separate the teams. The tournaments results are
bellow.
