Following on from recent inter-school sports competitions, inlcuding cross country running and biathlon, locals schools have taken part in another hockey tournament and a football event.
The hockey tournament saw 12 teams from various schools divided into three ability groups.
School first teams went in group 1, 2nd teams in group 2 and 3rd teams in group 3.
Nafferton 1 won Group 1, Nafferton 2 won group 2 and Leven Primary won group 3.
The weather conditions were much better than in the previous tournament before half term, and all children’s skill levels are improving, with lots of fun and enjoyment from all involved.
If you want to take up hockey, contact Fiona Tuplin at Driffield Hockey Club, they train 6pm on Monday nights at Driffield School.
Once again, a big thank you to all the children, teachers, spectators and volunteers who made both the hockey and football tournament a great success.
In the football teams from Burton Agnes Primary School, Driffield Junior School, Garton Primary School, Hutton Cranswick Primary School, Kilham Primary School and Nafferton Primary School took part in the Inaugural Year3/Year4 7-a-side Football Tournament for the Driffield Cluster at Driffield School.
The school teams were divided into 2 groups to see who could qualify for the semi-final stage. Kilham started off with a 2-0 victory over a good Hutton Cranswick side and never looked back. On their way to topping their group they played Garton in the highest scoring game of the day finishing 5-3 winners against a spirited Garton team. A win against Driffield Dragons meant they were unbeaten in the group stages.
Although losing to Kilham, Driffield came runners up in the group beating both Garton and Hutton Cranswick with narrow victories. In the other group, Driffield Jaguars finished top of their group, unbeaten with two wins and two draws, with Nafferton finishing runners up.
Burton Agnes were the third team in the group playing their own brand of Premier League football, finishing with a well earned draw against an accomplished Nafferton team.
Both semi-finals were slightly one sided affairs, with a well oiled Kilham team brushing aside Nafferton, finishing 4-0 victors and the accolade of being favourites to take the cup. In the other semi-final Driffield Dragons completed a 2-0 victory over their schoolmates, Driffield Jaguars, making their way into the final.
The final turned out to be the closest game of the day. In a keenly fought final, after eight tense minutes, the scores remained equal at 0-0. Sudden death penalties was the only way to divide the teams! Both teams scored their first penalties.
However, a Driffield miss meant a Kilham goal would take the cup. And so that is how it turned out!
