Fair Oak entered six teams into a boys Year 5 and 6 football tournament held at Wyvern today amongst schools from the local area. The competition was a league format where each team played every other team with points being added up to decide where each side would finish. After all of the fixtures had been played, Fair Oak 6 finished in sixth place with Fair Oak 5 finishing in fifth. Fair Oak 4 ended up in fourth position with Fair Oak 2 finishing third. A point ahead of them were Fair Oak 3 who ended up as runners up to Fair Oak 1 who won all of their fixtures and were crowned tournament winners! Well done to all of our boys who played brilliantly throughout the event.

Our boys football team played their County Finals tournament at Wide Lane today. The competition involved the winners of other regional tournaments from around Hampshire so the standard of play was extremely high. Fair Oak began with a hard fought one nil win against Purbrook and then followed that up with a two nil victory over Saint Bedes of Basingstoke. Elvetham Heath of Fleet were our next opponents and Fair Oak won again by a goal to nil. Abbotswood got the better of our boys in the next fixture to beat Fair Oak one nil. Saint Bedes of Winchester were the next opponents and Fair Oak recovered from their Abbotswood loss to win by a goal to nil. Next up were Gomer and Fair Oak put in a superb performance to win five nil! Lyndhurst of Portsmouth were then dispatched by three goals to nil before the final match of the competition which ended in another victory for Fair Oak against Ryde by a goal to nil. This meant that Fair Oak finished with twenty one points from a possible twenty four which is a fantastic achievement. That points total left Fair Oak in top spot which means that our team will now go forward to represent Hampshire at the South of England Finals in Bristol later on in the year. What an amazing achievement by our boys. Well done to the whole squad!

This morning Fair Oak Junior School held a Bikers Breakfasts for our pupils who hold a Cycle To School Permit. Funding from SUSTRANS (https://www.sustrans.org.uk/) allowed us to provide free light breakfasts for those pupils who cycled into school in an attempt to encourage more children to take to their bikes. Ray Craig from SUSTRANs was in attendance and as well as The Bike Doctor from The Hub Cycle Works (https://thehubcycleworks.co.uk/). The team carried out a ‘Doctor Bike’ service where all bikes were given a thorough safety check.
If you would like your child to cycle to school then please ask for an application letter from our school office or from Mr Stredwick.
