A year five dodgeball team was entered into a festival held today at Wildern School. Ten schools from the local area participated in the event which gave all of the pupils an opportunity to improve their skills in the sport. Fair Oak played really well in their fixtures and thoroughly enjoyed the competition. Well done to all of those who took part and represented their school superbly!

Fair Oak took a strong year 3/4 side to Oakley Junior School to participate in tag rugby training matches. The session was really useful to the participating players who are beginning to build up their game play experience in preparation for future fixtures!

Wildern school today hosted a qualifying tournament for the Table Tennis Individual County Finals event which will be held later in the school year. Fair Oak entered eight boys and four girls into the competition which took a league format with each player playing every athlete in their group. The winners of each group would then progress into the semi-finals. Despite some fantastic performances from our players, after all of the group fixtures had been played, only one of our girls made it through and went on to reach the girls final! Unfortunately, she lost a very close encounter to her opponent from Botley by a score line of 26 points to 20. Mr Stredwick was really pleased with all of our athletes who did the school proud, showing fantastic sportsmanship throughout!

Swanmore College was the venue for an indoor athletics event between year five and six pupils from local schools. Competitors scored points depending on how well they did in their track and field events and these points were collated to give an overall team total. The boys and girls points were then added together to give a school total. When our athletes had finished their events and the calculating was completed, Fair Oak ended up in first place and have now qualified for the Hampshire School Games later in the year! The final standings were as follows:
1st - Fair Oak - 166
2nd - Botley - 124
3rd - Netley - 89
4th - Berrywood - 84
5th - Wellstead - 80
6th - Curdridge - 78
7th - Stoke Park - 75
8th - Freegrounds - 71
9th - Durley - 49
10th - Shamblehurst - 47
11th - Droxford - 35
What a great effort from all of our athletes.

The Fair Oak boys football team travelled to Portway Junior School in Andover to play their next match in the Hampshire Cup today. Portway have been performing well this year, scoring lots of goals in the process so our boys knew they would be in for a tough match. The opening quarter of the game was an even affair but Fair Oak began to take control just before half time and in a devastating spell, our boys scored three quick fire goals without reply. Despite playing really well in the second half, Fair Oak could not add to their goal tally. Well done to the team who are through to the third round with a comfortable three nil win behind them!
