Football and Netball Champions crowned

Coastal and Wolds SSA Y8 & Y10 Football and Netball Champions Crowned

The Coastal and Wolds SSA Football and Netball Champions for Y8 and Y10 are crowned this week.

 

Having successfully beaten off all opposition in their SSP League Skegness Grammar School year 10 girls took on the Wolds SSP league winners Monks Dyke. Although the final score shows the Monks Dyke girls dominating every quarter to the credit of the Skegness Grammar girls they never gave up and doggedly fought to the end.

 

Monks Dyke stormed into a 8 - 1 lead after the first quarter and although lapsed a little in the second allowing Skegness to creep back (12 - 4)  once again they kicked in for the last two quarters taking the game 28 - 7.

 

In the younger age group the two teams from Caistor Grammar School and John Spendluffe School Alford followed much the same pattern as the year 10 girls.

 

The Wolds SSP representatives were slick and sharp for the first two quarters scoring 9 goals in each and denying the Spendluffe girls the opportunity to shoot. Half time score 18 - 1.

 

Caistor became lax in the third quarter only scoring two goals with Spendluffe adding another to their tally. The final score after 40 minutes 26 - 2 to Caistor.

 

Congratulations to the winning teams but also to the runners up who put up a brave fight.

 

Skegness Grammar were also the defeated team in the Y8 SSA Football Final played in the glorious setting of London Road Sports Ground Louth.

 

Having met Caistor Grammar this year in the knock out Cup and losing 8 -1 the boys from Skegness were determined to put up a closer fight this time. End to end play, smart interceptions and nifty footwork by both teams kept the spectators in full voice. A final score of 4 - 0 to Caistor Grammar sent them home victorious with the Skegness team leaving the pitch with heads held high knowing they had reduced their previous scoreline and matched the Grammar throughout much of the game.

 

The year 10 final between Skegness Grammar School and Monks Dyke, Louth was another spectacular battle.  Excellent play by the attack and superb defence kept the spectators enthused with goals coming thick and fast as tactics paid off.

 

Last years champions Skegness had to relinquish their title as the Monks Dyke boys took the game 4 - 2.
