Year 2 Football

Wednesday 24th May

It was a difficult start for the year 2 team, coming straight off the bus the boys didn’t quite find their feet in the first match however the best was yet to come… Despite the final score against St Theresa, the team used this as motivation to secure their first goal against St Peter & Paul. This drive then continued throughout the rest of the tournament where we saw some amazing teamwork from the boys and some equally amazing goals! All the players should be very proud of themselves, and I would like to say a special thanks to the parents for their continued support on the sidelines. Mr Queeley

  • St Theresa 6 – 0 Clapgate (L)
  • Clapgate (W) 4 – 0 St Peter & Paul
  • Austhorpe 1 – 2 Clapgate (W)
  • St Benedicts 0 – 9 Clapgate (W)

Year 5 Rugby

Wednesday 24th May

10 of our Year 5 children were selected to represent Clapgate in the Hunslet Rugby tournament. Clapgate hosted this and we played against 3 other schools. The children had to pick up the rules quick and worked brilliantly as a team in the heat! 

Our first game we lost 1-0. Second game was 1-1 with a brilliant try scored by Xavier! Third game was against Middleton St Mary’s who are very strong in rugby and had beaten the other schools 3 or 4-0. This didn’t put our Clapgate team off- they remained focused and pulled together everything they had learnt. A sneaky try made it 1-0 to Middleton St Mary’s and Clapgate managed to defend to keep this the only try the opposition could score. 

The progress made by the children within the tournament was amazing and they were an absolute credit to the school- well done! Michael at Hunslet RLFC complimented the team on how well they had done!
