Under 13’s Win Tournament

C ongratulations to the Under 13’s 6 a side team

who managed to win the Independent Schools

tournament. We have finished second for the last

four years, so finally we have won this trophy proving that one

should never give up. It was played in extremely wet condi-

tions which helped our passing style of play. Akinola Adesina

and Joshua Cohen were outstanding in defence and we only

conceded one goal against seven teams. Ayodele Fagbohunka

came on as a substitution in the second game and scored four

goals which later would count to win us the tournament. Hen-

ry Jonscher was solid in goal and made some excellent saves from close range. Rikki Burgess and

Joel Matthews linked well to set up and score goals. In the penultimate game we were winning 1 -

0 . We made a mistake and they equalised in the last minute. A severe telling off followed and in

the last match we played our best game to produce the result which clinched the tournament.

Finally, we have won this trophy! Well done to the squad and we are looking forward to defend-

ing the trophy next year.

So far this netball season has seen some excellent performances from all teams. The girls at St. Johns are

dedicated to Netball; they are passionate about playing well and winning. The girls train on a weekly basis

during lunchtime and many of the girls have been continuing this training during P.E. lessons.

We currently have three teams entered in the Enfield Borough Schools Netball League: a mixed 1st and

2nd form team, a mixed 3rd and 4th form team and Senior team. This involves playing regular fixtures

against local state and Academy schools. This term the girls have played exceedingly well. There have

been numerous great performances. In 1st and 2nd Form I would like to thank Adaeze Akande, Jasmine

Harvey – Stone and Eva Carne for stepping up to the challenge and playing in the league with the 2nd

Form. They have all worked very hard, producing excellent passes and goal scoring opportunities. In the

3rd and 4th form team, Efeilomo Akande has been a star defender, controlling the end third. Zenab Ahsan’s

shooting this term has been outstanding. Well done!

This year the 5th form team were entered into the Middlesex Schools Tour-

nament on Saturday 11th November. The girls played really well and stepped

up to the challenge of playing against highly skilled schools. The girls thor-

oughly enjoyed the experience. There was a mixture of wins, draws and loss-

es. I would like to commend Adesawa Akande, Laura Bird, and Grace Firmin

for their outstanding performances.

I would like to use the newsletter to introduce myself to you all, I am the new

girls PE teacher. I recently graduated from Brunel University having studied a BSc

in Sport and Physical Education. Having been actively involved in a variety of

sports since childhood I discovered my passion for sport both through school

participation and extracurricular clubs; my individual interests in sport include

swimming, netball and athletics. I have competed at county and regional standard.

During university I was an active member of both the netball team and swimming

team. I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to teach at such a won-

derful, successful and warm school as St. John’s. The pupils and P.E. department have been a pleasure to

work with this term. I hope to inspire and motivate the pupils to take part in a variety of sports and

achieve and surpass their goals.

Golf Golf This term we have been going to a golf driving Range on the North Circu-

lar. When we are there we learn how to maximise our golfing potential by

working on various areas of golf; such as technique, how to conduct your-

self on a real golf course and all the proper golfing jargon. Every week one

of the golfers receives a medal for being the most improved or having pre-

formed best in the day’s challenge. Every week we all noticed changes and

improvements in the way we play golf. Even those of us who have not held

a golf club before have started to dramatically improve.

Earlier this month we entered the Enfield County Cross Country

event held at Trent Park and had some excellent results. Sam Leigh

and Harry Cox both came a respectable 10th position in their races,

out of 90 pupils. Jake Ward and Anthony Crittenden both came 14th

in their races with Maddie Abraham being the fastest girl finishing

31st. Congratulations to the other performers Harriet, Antigone,

Dunni, Rianna, Shunsuke, Rikki, Gianni, Cengiz, Henry and Daniel.
