The Y7 girls had their last rounders game of the season today against a strong Alameda side, sadly we fell short by 3 rounders however this did not knock the girl's team spirit and fielding!
POTM: Kayla for great deep fielding, and two out-standing catches to prevent any scoring!

Woozer William. He only went and took on the position of goal keeper this season. His amazing contribution to his team for playing in the hardest position was recognised by Flitwick Eagles in their end of season presentations. Well done William.
