Town Sports
This year's Town Sports unfortunately landed on an INSET day!
However, our committed pupils were still keen to attend and we
were able to participate with Year 7 Girls and Boys teams as well
as Year 8 and Year 9 Girls’ teams. All pupils performed amazingly
and stepped up to fill any gaps in order to do as well for the school
as possible. Big shout out to the Year 8 Girls team who came 2nd
overall in the competition with only 4 team members! Thank you
again to all the pupils for volunteering to give up their time to attend
the event. The results were as follows:
PE
Badminton
Several St Richard’s pupils participated in the "Sussex Rising Stars Junior Badminton
Tournament" in Brighton and achieved fabulous results. Jennifer in Year 8 managed to win
gold medals in the Girls’ U13 Singles and in the Girls U13 Doubles. Blake in Year 9 won gold in
the Boys U15 Doubles. Xavier and Samuel in Year 8 achieved silver medals in the Boys’ U13
Doubles. Well done to all of our pupils involved.
Norwich football
Tapi (Year 9) was selected to play for
Norwich City U14’s in a tournament
in Gran Canaria. They progressed
through to the semi finals where they
narrowly lost in a penalty shoot out.
Hastings and Rother schools athletics representative team
Several of our pupils represented the Hastings and Rother Schools
Athletics Representative Team in a competition held at the K2 in
Crawley. Tom (Year 11) had a great sprint finish in the Inter Boys
800m to finish 2nd place in 1 minute 59.94 seconds. This was his
first ever sub 2 minute 800m! Antalia (Year 9) won the Junior Girls
200m in a time of 27.39 seconds. In one of the last races of the day
Olivia (Year 9) had a very close race in the 100m Junior Girls and
came away with a silver medal with a time of 13.12 seconds.

Rounders
Recently, St Richard’s have hosted a Hastings and
Rother Schools Rounders tournament. On 16th June,
we had our Year 7 and 8 tournament against 3 other
schools. St Richard’s won every game so achieved
the title of Tournament Winners! On 23rd June, we
had our Year 9 and 10 team tournament. We played
incredibly well and were up against very strong
fielding teams and achieved joint 2nd place in the
tournament. Well done to all the girls who played and
we look forward to making this an annual event.
Cricket
On 25th June, Year 8 and 9 girls played in a pairs
cricket tournament at home against Claverham
Community College. George (Y10) umpired the match
professionally and successfully. St Richard’s went
out to bat first and accumulated a high number of
runs, even after facing some fast bowlers. The team
worked amazingly well when fielding, stopping many
boundaries and preventing many additional runs from
being scored. Unfortunately, the game ended with
Claverham winning, with only a few runs difference.
