03 July 2014 Year 5/6 Girls Football Tournament

On the hottest day of the year the year 5/6 football team headed off to Coach Road, in Newton Abbot for the annual football tournament. We started off confidently and secured a victory with a 5-0 win over Kingskerswell. Our next fixture was against Bradley Barton and again with some fantastic team play we ended up winners with a 6-0 scoreline.  The following fixtures were a repeat of the first 2 matches, luckily for us these re matches resulted in very similar outcomes. We progressed to the semi finals with a clean scoresheet!
The semi final match was against a strong Highweek side. This was where our first challenge came. Highweek scored, we had a  big task ahead to remain in the competition. With true determination Hannah used her skills to forge forward and score the equaliser, from then on our confidence returned and we managed to go on to win the tie 4-1!
Decoy, our regular nemesis, were our final opponents. Playing to retain our title as tournament winners the girls gave it their all and worked so hard , as a team, and grabbed victory!!!!
Champions again!!! Mr Lee was unable to attend the tournament but can be safe in the knowledge that the girls did him proud and deserved their win!! Well done, Hannah, Sophie, Ella, Jasmine, Madi, Arabella, Abbie, Shawna and Mr Slinger( parent helper).

3.7.2014 Yr 5/6 Cricket

Well done to the boys who represented Rydon at the Year 5/6 cricket tournament at Shaldon C.C. on Thursday. It was a baking hot day which saw all teams compete to a high standard. Rydon won there first game against All Saints and then followed that up with a dramatic win over Ipplepen. Their final game saw them narrowly defeated by an ever improving Shaldon team. Overall the team finished a respectable second behind Exminster. All the boys played brilliantly and comments were made by spectators on how well they represented Rydon, both on and off the field. Well done boys!!
