Quad Kids Competition

This afternoon, Year Five and Year Six pupils made their way to St. Ives to take part in the Huntingdonshire Schools Sports Partnership’s Quad Kids Competition. Quad Kids is an athletics combined event, like the decathlon and heptathlon. The athletes each took part in the following four events: 600m run, 75m sprint, standing long jump, and howler throw. Each athlete’s times and distance are converted to points which accumulate to make the team’s score.

Our Team A consisted of: Elise H, Yuliia C, Amelia C, Poppy A, Leo T, David E, Charlie B, and Daniel S. 

Our Team B were: Beau Z, Isabella O, Francesca L, Ava B, Callum N, Matthew H, Josh T, and Jack C.

The children battled hard in all their events, and showed great sportsmanship by cheering on their team-mates as well as athletes from other schools. 

After a long and tiring day, we were rewarded with Team A finishing a fantastic first place, and Team B finishing a brilliant Third place. This is an exceptional result if we keep in mind that there was also a competition in the morning and nearly 350 children took part throughout the day. The results from both the morning and afternoon competitions were combined to give the overall results.

An extra special mention goes to Yuliia who won the individual girls’ competition.

Boys B Team Football Tournament

Today, a very chilly, but sunny Thursday saw Crosshall host the Boys B Team Football Tournament.

We welcomed teams from Bushmead, Houghton and Round House schools.

Our squad consisted of Reece, Ashley, Kai (GK), Etienne, Lukas, Lee, Zachary, Daniel, Thomas (GK), Laken and Brodie.

Crosshall 0 – 0 Bushmead
Our boys were pleased to come away with a draw in this match which was very evenly matched. Most of the first half was played in the middle of the pitch, with each team having a very near miss on goal in the second half.


Houghton 1 -1 Crosshall
Another very close match with Houghton. Ashley scored our only goal of the tournament in this match.


Round House 1 – 0 Crosshall
This again was a close match, but Round House just managed to find a gap in the first half to score.


After a play off match and penalty shoot out the final positions were:

1 Bushmead (on penalties)

=3 Crosshall
=3 Houghton

We would like to thank all the parents who came to support the team.

B Team Football Finals

Today saw 9 Year 5 footballers travel to Stukeley Meadows to compete in the B Team Football Finals. 

Our team of Alfie W, Francesca H, Sam T, Alfie W, Tom S, Ryan B, Elliott B, George and Matthew P (GK) faced tough competition from Stukeley, Brampton and Westfield schools. It was a tough afternoon, not only was there a bitter wind, but, the pitch was very muddy and undulating. 

Our 1st match was against Westfield:

Westfield 2 – 0 Crosshall

Westfield kicked off the 1st half scoring 1 goal. We kicked off the 2nd half and Westfield scored again. Crosshall spent most of this matched pinned in their half, but, defended brilliantly. 

Brampton 2 – 0 Crosshall

Brampton kicked off our 2nd match scoring a goal in each half. Crosshall again defended brilliantly and Brampton had to work really hard to break down our defences. 

Stukeley 0 – 0 Crosshall

We kicked off this final match which was evenly balanced. Both teams had numerus attempts on goal, but, both goal keepers stood firm and kept clean sheets. 

Final Positions

1 Westfield 9 points

2 Stukeley 4 points

3 Brampton 3 points

4 Crosshall 1 Point 

Many thanks to Mr Henson for refereeing some of the matches and the parents who braved the cold, windy weather to support the team.

B Team Football Tournament - Victory for Crosshall!

Our first B Team Tournament of the season saw a team of nine Year Five pupils take on teams from Winhills, Priory and Middlefield at home.

The team consisted of George & Matthew P, Francesca H, Sam T, Alfie W, Alfie W, Tom S, Ryan B and Elliott B.


Crosshall 0 – 1 Winhills

Our 1st match saw Alfie W take on the goal keeping duties, keeping a clean sheet until the last minutes, when Winhills scored an unbelievably luck goal. Matthew and Ryan both had near misses on goal.


Crosshall 2 – 0 Priory


In the 2nd match Alfie and Matthew swapped goal keeping duties. We dominated this match having numerous attempts on goal during both halves. Francesca opened the scoring in the 1st half, backed up by Elliot scoring the 2nd goal in the 2nd half.


Crosshall 2- 0 Middlefield


Matthew continued with strong goal keeping duties in our 3rd and final match keeping a clean sheet. Again, we had the most possession with numerous attempts on goal. Elliot scored both goals in this match – one in each half.


We had to wait until the end of the final match (Winhills V Priory) to find out if we had won as we were currently tying for 1st place with Priory. Priory needed to beat Winhills by 2 goals to win. The final score was Winhills 0 – 1 Priory. We had won on goal difference!


The team now go through to the B Team Finals later in the season.

Tough Tournament for the Football B Team

Today saw nine Year Six boys make the journey to Brampton Primary school for the Large Schools B Team Football Tournament.  We were up against teams from Hartford, Godmanchester, Brampton and Huntingdon.   

The team consisted of Adam W (goal keeper), Edward L, George P, George A, Tylah P, Ethan S, Jordan L, Henry W and Samuel K.  

The first match was against Godmanchester.  The boys started nervously, but, Crosshall had several attempts on Godmanchester’s goal.  Samuel scored the only goal of the match giving Crosshall a 1-0 win.

In the second match against Hartford, the boys had settled down and the nerves of the first match seemed to have disappeared.  Even though this game finished in a 1-1 draw, it was the most exciting game of the tournament with the play spending equal time in each other’s half of the pitch and many attempts on both goals keeping the goal keepers very busy. With minutes of the 2^nd half to go, Samuel scored his second goal of the tournament, only to have Hartford equalise on the whistle of full time.

The third match against Brampton ended in a 0-0 draw.  During the 1^st half, Adam made two fantastic saves that prevented Brampton from winning this match.

Match four was against Huntingdon.  This match produced the best result for the Crosshall boys, who dominated the match, with a 2-0 win.  Both goals again came from Samuel in the first half.

Final league positions were:

1      Hartford               10 points

2      Crosshall                 8 points

3      Brampton              7 points

4      Godmanchester    3 points

5      Huntingdon           0 points
