Tuesday 3^rd March

On Tuesday 3^rd March, two of our top athletes were invited to represent the South Eastleigh and Winchester District team in the Hampshire Cross County Championships at Down Grange in Basingstoke. The races were extremely competitive but our runners represented the district incredibly well. We are so proud of them!

Fair Oak also entered five teams into a girls tag rugby tournament held on the Fair Oak Junior School field on the 3^rd March. Great credit must go to all the players who participated. They were all superb in both their attitude and rugby skills! The competition took a league format where every team played every other team. The side with the most points at the end of the tournament would be crowned champions. After all the fixtures had been played, the final league table stood as follows:

Well done to all of our fantastic tag rugby players. There really were some outstanding performances!

Tuesday 10^th March saw two teams attend the South Eastleigh and Winchester District netball tournament. Both of our teams played some brilliant netball. The tournament was a very good level, and we really stepped up to the occasion with sharp passing and movement, teamwork and determination.

Tuesday 24^th March

Today a cross-country relay race took place organised by Fair Oak Junior School on the Lapstone playing fields. Eight schools took part and just short of three hundred children participated! There were four races in total: lower school boys, lower school girls, upper school boys and upper school girls.

For the first race, the lower school girls took their positions on the start line while their other team runners waited in the ‘holding area.’ It was very exciting to watch! Overall, 3^rd place went to Weeke A, 2nd place went to Springhill and 1^st place went to Fair Oak A!

Next the lower school boys took their starting positions. When Mr Stredwick blew his whistle, the race began! Again, the race was but only one school could win! The results were as follows: in 3^rd place was Fair Oak A, in 2^nd place was Weeke B and in 1^st place was Otterbourne A!

The third race was for the upper school girls. Nerves were jangling at the start line. The results were as follows: in 3^rd place was Otterbourne A, 2^nd place went to Weeke A but in a comfortable 1^st place was Fair Oak A!

Finally, the upper school boys race took place. This was the biggest race in terms of participants and everyone wanted to watch. The final results were Otterbourne A in 3^rd place, 2^nd place went to Fair Oak A but in first place was Springhill!

Hopefully, the relay will be as good next year and lots of schools will participate. What a fantastic event!
