Congratulations to the Fishergate Year 5/6 Sportshall Athletics team who won their cluster festival last Wednesday at Archbishop Holgate School.

The children took part in a series of track and field events, with 9 boys and 9 girls from Upper KS2 representing the school against teams from Elvington, St Oswalds, Clifton With Rawcliffe and Badger Hill.

Fishergate ran out convincing winners, finishing 43 points clear of their nearest rivals to qualify for the York area finals, which took place at Millthorpe School two days later.

Once again the children put in a fantastic performance, but were unable to match their previous success, finishing in sixth place overall. The whole team should be immensely proud of their efforts and were fantastic representatives for the school.

The teams were :-

Girls – Maddie Stewart, Bella Gibson, Hope Stenson, Rosa Evans, Olivia Butterworth, Christina Gill, Martha Fisher, Phoebe Thomas and Christina Gill.

Boys – Finlay Dunn, George Burt, William Hargreaves, Freddie Dook, Miley Smith, Harry Taylor, Jessie Smith, Charlie Thorpe, Thibaut Mair and Henry Johnson
