Year 5/6 Basketball at Coombe Dean

5 schools competed in the Year 5/6 basketball tournament held at Coombe Dean on Wednesday 5th February.   Games were professionally refereed by Coombe Dean leaders and the morning was supported by Phil and Ben from Plymouth Raiders. Schools played a round robin tournament with each game lasting 10 minutes and points were awarded for a win, draw and loss.  We saw some exciting and fast paced basketball with many attempts to shoot and a tournament total of 32 baskets scored. Well done to all who took part - there was a tie for first place between Oreston and Wembury but the aim of the game was to score as many baskets as possible as in the event of a tie baskets scored would determine the eventual winner. The results are as follows;

5th place – Pomphlett

4th place – Prince Rock

3rd place – Chaddlewood

2nd place – Wembury

1st place – Oreston

Many thanks to the year 9 leaders who did an excellent job of officiating and coaching and to Ben and Phil from Raiders for their support.  Impressed by the level of officiating, Phil and Ben gave Ollie N and Aiden W the ‘officials of the tournament award’ and invited them to officiate at the primary final on April 5th!  What a great prize to award the hard work of our leaders!
