It's been another fantastic week for Swanmore College, showcasing not only individual talent but also the remarkable teamwork and commitment that defines our sporting community. Read on for all the highlights!
U13 Girls' Cricket Team Shines Bright
Our U13 Girls' Cricket team had an exceptional week, demonstrating their growing skill and determination. Last Wednesday, they participated in an U13 Girls' Cricket Festival at Trojans Club in Eastleigh, run by Hampshire Cricket Board. The team performed admirably, reaching the Quarter Finals stage of the festival. This was a valuable experience for our pupils, and we are incredibly proud of the significant progress they are making in their cricket journey. Well done, girls!
Following their success at the festival, our U13 Girls Cricket Team secured a brilliant victory against Mountbatten last Thursday. Despite the unpredictable weather forcing the game indoors, our girls adapted seamlessly to the Sports Hall environment. Their strong batting and bowling performances were enough to claim a well-deserved win. Another fantastic effort, girls – keep up the great work!

Finlay Jumps to Victory!
A huge congratulations are in order for Year 7 pupil, Finlay, who is enjoying a phenomenal Athletics season so far! Finlay recently competed in the U13 boys' long jump at the prestigious South of England Championships held at Crystal Palace last weekend. He delivered an outstanding performance with a winning jump of 5.19m, not only securing first place but also setting a new season's personal best!
Finlay's success continues to grow, as he has also been selected to represent Hampshire in the long jump at the South East Inter-counties Championship in August. This well-deserved selection comes after he achieved first place in the U13 boys' long jump at the Hampshire Track and Field Championships back in May. We are incredibly proud of Finlay's dedication and impressive achievements. Keep up the fantastic work, Finlay!
