JANUARY PROVIDES SOME BASKETBALL FIRSTS TENDRING AREA

St Osyth Scorpions won the Cannons KS2 Basketball League @ Clacton this month, Grabbing the title back from Holland Park Panthers in a closely thought contest. This month also saw with Two Village Titans record their first ever tournament victory in the Cannons KS2 Basketball League @ Harwich, they defeated both Mayflower Mavericks and Harwich Primary Hawks en-route to their victory. 

As ever both tournaments were played in a great atmosphere, and all participants showed determination, sportsmanship and bundles of ability. The standard is really improving month by month. We would like to thank all schools, parents and tournament sponsors for their continued support to this programme. It has already started to have an impact on our community; in January, for the first time ever, a school from Tendring (St Osyth) made it through to the final eight in the Essex School Games competition, they were only a couple of points away from a semi-final spot too. Together we are making great strides, and long may it continue.
