A highlight of the Football term, the House competitions are a fantastic opportunity for all pupils in Y3-8 to compete with and against each other. Year 7 and 8 pupils have also recently completed a term of Volleyball in PE, and rounded it off with a House Volleyball competition. Results of all House competitions can be found below: Y3 House Y4 House Y5 House Y6 House Y7/8 House Y7 House Y8 House Football Football Football Football Football Volleyball Volleyball Winners Wren Newton Livingstone Johnson Wren Johnson Johnson/Wren Our Year 8 students played their final Football fixture for MTP against Davenies and now look ahead to the Summer term and Cricket season. We recently took a group of students in Year 5-7 to WatchWatford FC vs Everton in a Premier League fixture. The group were lucky enough to receive coaching beforehand and meet the club mascot, Harry the Hornet! The group were well behaved throughout the day and were complimented by the Watford FC staff on their positive attitude, well done to all! Thank you on behalf of the Sports Department to all parents and pupils for another successful term, we have the Ski trip andWatford FC Football camp to look forward to over the Easter holidays, before we come back to Cricket and Athletics in Games and PE lessons. Saturday 24th March Competitions: U9 Haberdashers’ Aske’s Football Tournament Congratulations to our U9A and B teams who competed at this weekend’s rescheduled Haberdashers’ Aske’s Football Tournament. While as expected the U9A found it hard against other A teams in the group, this was not the case for our U9A who won all their games and topped the group. Having already beaten the eventual winners at the group stage our boys were unlucky to lose 1-0 in the final to Radlett Prep.

Our boys pulled together and recorded a very reputable 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses overall. BenWard and Ishaaq Rather both worthy of mention within a memorable team effort.
