Saturday 25th June saw the return of our annual Sports Day at Beversbrook. The weather was looking a little cloudy, however, it held off, and the sun made a small appearance. This, with the Company tents surrounding the finish line, created a great atmosphere for all the spectators and competitors.
Throughout the morning, girls competed in a variety of events on both track and field, gaining points to support their Companies. Competition was fierce, as it always is, and there were some outstanding individual performances - so many of the school records were under threat. A special mention goes to Martha (LIV), who got two new school records; firstly, for 100m running a time of 13.56s in the Finals, beating her own school record of 14.06s achieved two weeks prior, and secondly in Shot putt, throwing 7.70m, beating the previous record of 7.60m.
This year also saw the return of the Senior Tug of War competition but with some reinforcements needed from the LV, which was a popular event and exciting to watch. Each Company competed against one another, and this year Poore were the winners of the Tug of War Cup. At the end of all the events, it was time to see how the parents and staff would compete in the Tug of War. Going up against each other with eight people per team, the parents flew away with two wins in the first two games. The staff were able to pull back one win in the last game to make it 2-1 to the parents. The staff will be training for a rematch next year!
There was much anticipation as the results were calculated. The following were announced, with the winners being awarded in the following categories: Junior and Inter Individual Trophies; Junior, Inter and Senior Company winners and the Overall Winning Company Shield.
Well done to all the girls that took part and supported their Companies throughout the day, it was yet again a very successful day and event!
