Sports Hall Athletic's

On Monday 31^st October 18 children travelled to Townley Grammar School to compete in Bexley’s annual sports hall athletics’. The competition consisted of five field events (chest-push, javelin, speed bounce, vertical jump and long jump). Everyone gave it their all and there were some brilliant scores, we comfortably won 3 events. Onto the track events, again everyone gave such an impressive display and we dominated the track events winning 4 out of 8 races. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough to win overall.

Upland finished in very respectable 2nd place. Well done everyone!

Boys Football

After four positive performances at Crook Log the boys team will met Fosters in round one of the Keven McCarthy cup. In a very entertaining first half of football, Upland took advantage of some poor goal keeping errors and led 3-1 at the break. Upland continued to attack and create lots of opportunities during the second half and eventually ran out 6-3 winners. A great performance and the team will now face Old Bexley.

Round 2 - An away game against a tough Old Bexley side. The first half began with Old Bexley taking an early lead. But the boys heads didn't drop, if anything the boys grew in confidence and created chance after chance but couldn't find a way past the Old Bexley goal keeper. The second half followed in a similar pattern with Upland having most of the ball but just couldn't find the all important goal. With five minutes left the team went all out attack and unfortunately got caught on the counter attack three times. Full time Old Bexley 4-0 Upland. The score line did flatter Old Bexley in a performance where Upland did deserve more from the game.

Bedonwell away - Monday 14th January 2019 

Upland's netball team began 2019 with a win away to Bedonwell. In a very close fought contest Upland eventual won the game 7-6. Trailing in the second quarter 3-1 the team managed to turn the game round thanks to some excellent shooting from the attackers in the third and fourth quarters.

Upland's next match is against St Paulinus. 

The netball teams first match of the season was away at Foster. A very close game where both teams keep possession of the ball well but couldn't find that all important scoring touch to win the game. The game finished in a 1-1 draw with plenty of positives to take from the game. 

Up next was another away match against last year finalist St Stephens. The first quarter was very one side with St Stephens 4-0 up inside 6 minutes. The game continued after the break with Upland growing into game and becoming more confident which lead to several dangerous attacks. The second and third quarters where very tight and the team manged to pull one goal back. St Stephens ran out 6-1 winners, but I was extremely proud of the teams determination to keep fighting.
