National Dodgeball Finals 2022

24th June 2022A Rogers
🟡🟢National Dodgeball Finals – Fenton Manor Sports Complex, Stoke🟢🟡
After proudly reaching the National Finals today we unfortunately failed to progress to the knockout stages of the competition.
The children were a credit to Stanhope, reaching the finals in itself was a tremendous achievement. They played well, but the run of luck just wasn’t with us today. We came up against some tremendous teams and had a wonderful experience nevertheless.
Their commitment to training for the event has been undoubted.
I am extremely proud to have worked with and coached the team this year, I know we will bounce back stronger and hopefully make it again in 2023.
It’s been a long day after a 5:30am start and as we head home, we all hold our heads high.
A BIG thank you also to Mrs Wardle for her support and Mrs Ali for driving us today. 🚐🚙😃
Congratulations once again team – get a good nights sleep 💤 (although from the pictures some of us have nodded off already) 🙂👍

Tyne and Wear Dodgeball Finals 2022

21st January 2022A Rogers

WOW!! What a day!! Our A Team were crowned County CHAMPIONS and our B Team Runners-Up in the Tyne and Wear Dodgeball Finals, held at Tyne Met College today.

The 20 players from Y5&6 were tremendous throughout the day, with the A Team undefeated and the B Team only losing to their counterparts.

The A Team now progresses to the NATIONAL FINALS to be held in Stoke in June!!!

Simply OUTSTANDING, what an achievement for our children and school. To be part of the final 20 schools in the country is tremendous.

Congratulations to both teams who played with great skill, determination and a good sporting attitude too. Their hard work and practice for many weeks certainly has paid off.

I’m personally extremely proud of them all. Lots more practice ahead for our winning team too!

North East Dodgeball Finals 2020

Congratulations to our ‘tremendous ten’ who have qualified for the NATIONAL DODGEBALL FINALS in Nottingham (July 2020)!!

They faced stiff competition and played fantastically well to finish as Runners-Up to Sunnyside Academy (Middlesbrough), losing 9-3 in a closely fought final.

The team worked well together to have some wonderfully accurate shots, great catches and really impressive communication too. We are so proud of you all and your fantastic achievement.

They will compete against 19 other schools from all over Great Britain. Therefore we will certainly have lots more training and practice sessions ahead of us.

Third were St. Aloysius R.C. Federation (Hebburn).

Further details with regards to the finals will be sent to parents in due course.

 

Congratulations once again!

Mr Rogers.
