Summer Term Sport

Barnby sport has started the Barnby way in the summer term with lots to celebrate.

Girls football

The girls football team have performed to an incredible level all season and have finally got their reward winning the Newark large schools league. The girls won every fixture scoring over 50 goals and only conceding 2. They have been a credit to themselves and the school all season and their success hasn't stopped their. In the Newark girls spring tournament the team managed to clinch the title after two nail biting penalty shoot-outs in both the final and semi final. The girls have been the most successful girls team Barnby have ever seen and this is nothing more than they deserve. They now look forward to the County cup final where they hope to become not only the best girls team in Newark but the best girls team in the County.

Year 3-4 Spring football tournament

The Barnby Year 3/4 football team were victorious in the Newark school's tournament earlier this term. The team managed to top their group winning all their league games without conceding a goal and scoring 8 goals. After progressing through the team faced a resilient Coddington in the quarter final which saw a dominant performance rewarded with a last-minute winner.  On to the semifinal against Lowe's Wong where the team faced their toughest test, but after a back and forth game the Barnby team managed to progress through on penalties. In the final the team faced Chuter Ede and two first half goals saw the team cruise to victory and take home the trophy. It was well deserved on the day with the team not conceding a goal throughout the whole tournament including in a penalty shootout.

Spring Term sporting success.

The spring term proved to be another highly successful term for Barnby and their sports teams.

Football

On Friday 24^th March the schools football team looked to retain their title of winning the spring Newark schools football tournament after winning the competition last year. This year both an A and B team were entered with both teams feeling confident in their chances of doing well. Both teams got off to great starts and after 4 group matches each, both teams managed to top their group. The A team cruised to the semi finals after comfortably beating Muskham and the B team also made it through after a last minute winner against Chuter Ede. An unfortunate semi final draw meant the A team Played the B. A close game between the two, with very few chances went to penalties - the B team won the shootout and progressed to the final.

The A team moved into the 3^rd 4^th play-off and won comfortably to secure 3^rd place. The B team went on to the final and played out of their skin but unfortunately lost 1-0 to Coddington who scored a second half goal to win. That meant the B team finished as meaning they were runners-up on the day. All the boys played brilliant and displayed the Barnby values throughout the day.

Indoor Athletics

The schools indoor athletics also enjoyed a successful term winning the Newark schools competition, This saw them entered into the county finals. The children performed out of their skin on the day and managed to finish in 3rd place for the whole of the county.

The Barnby Road football teams, A & B, both came away with awards (2nd and 3rd places) at the Newark Schools' Spring football tournament played in miserable weather at King's school on Friday, 24th March 2023. Both teams won their league stages, both progressed though the quarter finals on to where they met each other in the semi's. After full time, the match was deadlocked and only penalties could separate them with the B team winning and going through to the final, while the As went to the bronze medal game. In the final, our courageous B team were narrowly edged out by a strong Coddington team, 1 - 0, while the ‘A’s won their play off against Lowes Wong to secure the medals. An amazing performance by both our teams...we're so proud of them. A big thanks to our coaches AND to our wonderful parents for the support they gave throughout the afternoon. Go Barnby!

A blistering start to the year for Barnby sport.

Both the A football team and A netball team were successful in defending the Autumn large schools tournament. In October the football team cruised to victory not conceding a single goal during the tournament and eventually coming out 1-0 winners against Lowe's Wong in the final. The girls football team also had their Autumn tournament in October and came runners up to a strong Lowe's Wong team. The only goal in the final was the only goal Barnby conceded all day and this was a fantastic effort from the team who had 2 year 4's and were missing key players.

Not to be out done to football the netball A team also came out Autumn tournament winners, winning every single game in the process. They eventually beat Winthorpe 2-1 in the final and were deserved winners playing some outstanding netball. The B team also played some outstanding netball but went out in the group stage after coming up against some good schools.
