Year 5/6 Basketball

On Thursday 19th November Hassenbrook School hosted our Year 5/6 Basketball competition.  This year we had 7 schools from across Thurrock take part.  They were split into 2 pools for their first round matches with the winners and runners up in each pool progressing through to the semi finals.  In Pool A this was Thameside and Little Thurrock, but a special mention to Chadwell St Mary who finished 3rd, they had only had 2 practices prior to the competition and showed real guts and determination all afternoon!

In Pool B it was Stanford Le Hope and East Tilbury that progressed to the finals, but Stifford Clays and Horndon put on some excellent displays of skills and teamwork.

In the semi finals Little Thurrock took on East Tilbury which saw a dominant display from East Tilbury winning 8-2.  In the other semi final it was a closer affair with the scores tied at the end of the 10minutes.  Teams could only be separated by a golden basket which was scored by Stanford Le Hope booking themselves a place in the final.

In the 3/4 place play off teams were very well matched with Thameside winning 3-2 vs Little Thurrock.

The final was a similar affair, both teams were equal at the end of the 10minutes with 4 points each.  With an extra 2 minutes of extra time they were still equal so we had to play the dreaded golden basket.  After another 6 minutes of playing Stanford Le Hope scored am amazing basket to crown them champions!

Congratulations to everyone that took part, and good luck to Stanford Le Hope who now progress to the Essex School Games Finals in January.
