Year 5/6 Benchball Competition

On Friday afternoon two teams of Oakwood Y6 pupils took part in the Southampton School Games Benchball tournament. Benchball sounds easy and is played in great spirit, but during a competition it is frenetic, frantic and fantastic to watch!

Although the list of teams went down from 8 - 4 on the day of the competition, Team Oakwood were determined to do well.

Here were both teams' results:
Oak A 1 - 1 Bassett Green
Oak A 0 - 2 Valentine
Oak A 0 - 1 Oak B

Playoffs
Oak 0 - 2 Bassett Green
Oakwood B finished 4th

Oak B 1 - 1 Valentine
Oak B 1 - 0 Bassett
Oak B 1 - 0 Oak A

Playoffs
Oak B 1 - 2 Valentine
Oakwood B finished 2nd

The final between Oakwood and Valentine and was a brilliant match, and in both the final sets it went down to the final player from each team. Unfortunately for Oakwood B it was Valentine that snatched the victory.
