Year 5/6 Basketball competition at Coombe Dean

2 schools entered the Primary year 5/6 basketball competition held at Coombe Dean School today. Teams from Elburton and Pomphlett arrived with their squads which were divided into an A and B team so a round robin competition could be held.  Games were 12 mins in length with a short break, during which the teams' changed ends.  Every time a basket was scored, a big cheer went up before the teams quickly continued their game. There was some great skill on display and every game ended with a score.  The morning was run by year 7 and 8 boys from the Coombe Dean basketball team who did a great job at officiating , score keeping, motivating and handing out certificates, stickers and fist bumps!  

Final results were:

1st Place - Pomphlett B

2nd Place - Elburton B

3rd Place - Elburton A

4th Place - Pomphlett A

Well done to everyone who took part today and congratulations to Pomphlett who go through to a final game to be played at Plympton Academy on Wednesday 2nd April 3.30pm.
