Girls can play football too!
Before the completion had even started we had all ready made Brockwell history as we had never had a girl’s football team before. After several weeks of football training it was finally time to go to the Chesterfield girl’s football finals. We arrived at Hasland school with plenty of time to spare and began our own warm up drills. It was lead by a young boy who was working towards his PE exams. He thought we were great! Once all the teams had arrived we began the tournament. Our first match was against Staveley but we were already nervous because we had seen the standard of Staveley’s skills when we warmed up near them. Stavely won the toss up and took the centre. The game begun and Staveley passed to their best player. Lucy tackled them and then passed to Megan. She had a shot but unfortunately missed. It was their goal kick. She booted it over to their best player who was on our side of the pitch. Their best player took an incredible shot and she scored. Sadly, we couldn’t score the equaliser. The game ended Stavely 1- Brockwell nil.
Chesterfield SSP Awards Night
On Thursday 29th September 2016, the Athletics team, Mr Hipkiss and Miss Lenthall were all invited to the Chesterfield Sports Awards night at the Winding Wheel. This was because we managed to get to the County Finals Athletic tournament in Derby. We were nominated as the best team in Chesterfield. When we got there we were delighted to find that Brockwell Junior School was the first award presented.
