Sports Report

Wednesday 18th football session we focused on dribbling and defending. We took part in some short dribbling and passing drills to warm up before organising 5 minute games, paying close attention to our defenders and keeping possession. 

We are delighted to announce that our school has been recognised for its dedication and commitment to sport. The winner will be announced at an awards evening to be held on November 17th at the Anglican Cathedral. We will keep you up to date with the news but congratulations and well done to the school.

Welcome back everyone. We have got off to a great start in our first competition of the year. Having played four full matches of Dodgeball, we made it through to the semi-finals and then the final. We finished the competition in 2nd place and will go on to compete in the City Finals Next Thursday. Well done and good luck to all involved. 

 

Merseyside Champions in both the Y5/6 girls swimming and mixed Y5/6 hockey. The Y3/4 tennis team came a close 2nd. A great day and outcome for Booker. 🏑🏑🎾🎾🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️

The boys played 12 matches over two days of competition. Undefeated, the boys finished the event as City Champions. Great team work, determination and play by all involved. 🏏🏏🏆👍🏼

The Year 6 boys played 4 games in the hot sunshine and finished top of their group. After lunch they went on to play in the knock outs and won their game by 10 runs. This result takes them through to the City Finals on Monday 26th June at Sefton Park Cricket Club. Well done and good luck boys. 🏏

A fantastic afternoon in the sun. Our two teams played some great hockey and finished in 1st and 2nd place. On to the City Finals in June. Well done Booker! 🏑🏑🏑

Congratulations to all our boys and girls who have took part in this years Young Leaders' training. We look forward to seeing them engaging our Y3/4 children in active play during their breaks and lunch time. 

Well done to our two teams who competed in the Year 3/4 Mini Red Tennis Competetion at Wavertree Tennis Centre.

The two teams were split into two heats. Team A went straight through to the final having won all their games. Team B also put in a great performance, but unfortunately missed top spot in their heat by a points difference of just three. A great afternoon that was well organised. Thanks LSSP.

Well done to the boys and girls who took part in the Futsal competition on Friday 7th April. We all had a great afternoon and showed some great team work along the way. Thank you to all the parents who came along to support the children. 

Well done to the Booker Swim Team. The girls and boys showed great team work, effort and determination. The girls finished as City Champions and the boys finished 1 point away from 1st place. Fantastic work Booker, well done to all who took part. 

The Year 4 team travelled to Merchant Taylors' Schools for a football tournament on the 27.3.17.

 

The team played 4 matches, winning 2 and drawing 2. They played very well and finished level on points. A goal difference of 1 meant that the team finished in 2nd place overall. 

 

Well done, team Booker. 

 

The Mersey Mavericks are currently working with our Year 4 children. Some top quality coaching that the the children and teachers are enjoying. 

What a day! Having won all five of their fixtures Booker proceeded into the semi finals where they played Smithdown Primary. The semi final was a nail biting game in which Booker were down on points with just minutes to play. A tactical timeout allowed Booker to re-group, turn the game on its head and emerge victorious. The dramatic turn of events in the semi final instilled a sense of confidence in the Booker team and there was only ever going to be one outcome in the final; Booker Avenue, Merseyside Champions.

Congratulations to all the players, a brilliant effort!

Some fantastic results from the Cross Country Race on Thursday. This photo really captures the support our children show for one another. Two of our boys were seen running along side one of our girls showing great support and encouragement. Great job!
