Year 9, who were defending
champions of the trophy, lost out to our rivals at this age group St.
Cuthberts, 33-18 in what proved just a bridge too far for Hope who were missing
several key players due to injury. However, those players put in an amazing
effort and fought all the way to the end. A performance to be proud of! Man of
the match for Hope Academy was Tayler
Brown.
A day later at Crusader Park in
Thatto Heath, the year 8 team (containing several year 7 pupils from the final
the day previous) narrowly lost out to De La Salle 38-26. After taking a narrow
lead in to half time, Hope just couldn't hold to gain victory. Man of the match
for Hope Academy was captain Drew Prescott
(who had also played the previous day for the Year 9 team)
We also held the final Swimming
Gala of the year for our feeder primary schools last Wednesday at Selwyn Jones
