Basketball Qualifier success at Mark Hall

First of all thank you for everyone’s help yesterday – I really appreciated the support extended to the School Games Staff (Gill Pardoe and Rebecca Lott), who in my absence ensured that our ‘expanded’ basketball event ran smoothly. Well done to the 37 teams who took part, this was the biggest basketball event we have ever run; a big thank you to the Harlow Hawks (Shab and the 3 young leaders) for assisting throughout – as events get larger we will need to look at different ways of facilitating the huge number of matches, whilst trying to reduce ‘waiting’ times for teams. Hopefully everyone can see that everything we try differently is to increase opportunity’s for the children of Harlow.

The results from the groups were as follows:

So, after all that. The 8 teams who have qualified for the finals, which are AFTER Christmas, are as follows:

St Lukes A, St Albans, Cooks Spinney A and Roydon – from the morning session.

Fawbert and Barnard B, Nazeing A, Fawbert and Barnard A and William Martin – from the afternoon session.

A reminder that the winning team from Harlow will go forward to represent us in the Level 3 event, which is 5 v 5. Most of the teams who qualified do have a B team, so it may be that the eventual winner can pool players to create a squad of 10 for the County Final.
