District Top Schools Play Off's

Good day to all!

I have some more good news to share with you!

Today we took part in the district top schools play off's.

 

The team: f.l.t.r: Trevor, JJ, Wouter, Jacques (reserve), Enrico, Ravian, Clint

I am very proud to say that we came in 3rd* position in our category!!  Although we didn't make it to the next round, I am very proud of the team.  Their guts and spirit that they showed, playing against the other teams.

We played in five rounds, (two groups) against five different schools, and it went as follows:

Round 1 (won)
Opponents: Delft Primary
Result: 5 - 1

Round 2 (lost)
Opponents: Panorama
Result: 0 - 6

Round 3 (won)
Opponents: Boston Primary
Result: 4 - 2

After this win, it meant that we advanced to the top section with the top 2 schools from the other group.

Round 4 (won)
Opponents: Durbanville Primary
Result: 3,5 - 2,5
This was a very tense game for me, personally.  Durbanville won us in the first league game in April of this year (with the same score that we beat them today).

And also because we were behind 1,5 - 2,5 with Clint and JJ still playing, thus we needed both points to win the match!  And they did it!!  :-)

Clint, our number one player, won against a girl who had achieved her WP colours this year.

Round 5 (lost)
Opponents: Curro (Durbanville)
Result: 1 - 5
In this match, we had a great win for JJ on board number 5!

The next post will have pictures of each player and their score that they achieved.

CONGRATULATIONS to ALL the players!  You are all winners in my book.
I'm very proud of you!!

*3rd: In actual fact, the game points says we came in 4th position after Durbanville (just 0,5 points behind), but we had one more match point than them.  And they got six BYE points in their first round.  One of the schools didn't pitch up in their group for the first three games.  That is why I say, we had 3rd position!
