Congratulations to the cricket team who beat Abbeyfield winning by one wicket. They will now progress to the next round of the Lady Taverners competition next month.

Y7 Netball Tournament
On a cold Saturday morning we took 19 Y7 netballers to Devizes School for the Mid Wiltshire Netball Tournament. The B team played fantastic netball winning 4 games drawing 3 and losing only 1! This left the overall results very close there was only 5 points between the first six finishers, in the B competition Lavington came 6th out of the 9 schools entered.
The A team played their first game against St Marys and won comfortably, giving them the confidence to go on and win all of their games. The team played some outstanding Netball having worked incredibly hard over the last term and were worthy winners of the Mid Wilts Netball shield! A big well done to everyone that participated, thank you to all the supporters and for the hot chocolate!
Congratulations …..
to Emma Smale who was successfully selected for the next stage of the trials towards being enrolled in the National Talent League for Netball over half term. Good luck for the next stage in December!
And . . . Congratulations to Rebecca Meredith and Eloise Church (Year 9) who have both been selected for the U14 Wiltshire County Hockey squad.
