There was a cameo appearance from Clarendon School Street Cheer Club which included some amazing acrobatics from a few of their team members. The day concluded with a finale from the John of Gaunt Schools GCSE dance group.

It was great to see so many boys as well as the girls enjoying their moment of glory. Most importantly there were happy smiling faces from a fun afternoon which we hope will kickstart Cheer as a major activity in the Trowbridge area in the coming school year. Watch this space.....................!

Hilperton Claim Historic Double !

In the Small schools football Hilperton claimed their 2nd title of the year beating Keevil in a thrilling climax to the season to take the league championship along with their Trowbridge schools cup from earlier this term. It was a fitting end to what has developed into a tremendously competitive football league with highs and low points for all teams involved.

After winning their penultimate fixtures against West Ashton both teams lined up knowing that 3 points would secure the title and guaranteed Premiership status for the 2010 season. Hilperton struck an early blow when a long-range effort caught the Keevil keeper cold and found its way into the net. Keevil immediately responded with a host of opportunities created from some excellent attacking football. Midfielder Beth K linked well with her teammates to create chance after chance for the Keevil forward line but some excellent goalkeeping and defending from the leagues meanest defence kept them at bay. Shortly after, the sucker punch came with two goals on the break as Hilperton pressed home their advantage whilst Keevil continued to attack. At the final whistle both teams were incredibly sporting and gracious as Hilperton took the plaudits for a well-deserved second time this term.

Elsewhere a remarkable turnaround in fortunes saw North Bradley leap from 6th to 3rd place with two excellent wins. They have been threatening this all season and finally got it right on the night to earn a place in the top half. Meanwhile Holt took everyone by surprise by squeezing into second with their usual workman like performances to earn a win and a draw on the night. Southwick and Long Meadow found the going tough but played as if their lives depended on it until the very end. The spirit amongst both teams was superb and with a little more experience they are certain to have a say in the title race next year.

Congratulations to everyone, we hope to see you next year with an 'Exciting NEW format' for the league.

Premier League - Table turned as Paxcroft steal title !

After the rollercoaster ride of the previous three weeks nobody could have expected a quiet last day in the Premier League. With four schools still in a position to win the title and no team safe from relegation there was to be one final twist in the tail. Wallwayne looked like relegation fodder in week 3 with no points and no goals scored but served up the biggest surprise of the day in beating the two top placed teams The Mead and Newtown 2-0 moving them up to 2nd in the league. A shell-shocked Newtown failed to recover from their opening game defeat at the hands of Paxcroft leaving them at the foot of the table and a place in the Championship beckoning for 2010. However they should be commended for their sporting behavior and tremendous achievements over the weeks. With the top teams all dropping points, nobody noticed a highly motivated Paxcroft slowly turning the screw on their rivals. One draw and a win was all it took to steal the title in dramatic fashion although they had to wait until the final whistle of the Wallwayne-Newtown game to be certain of their status as the large schools top team!

Championship - St John's Double Delight !

With Staverton unable to attend the final night therefore giving Bellefield a 4-0 'walkover' victory it was left to St Johns and Studley Green to slug it out for the Championship title and promotion back to the Premiership for 2010. St Johns required a five goal margin from this game to finish ahead of Bellefield and set about achieving this in emphatic style by racing into a 4 goal lead in the first half. With one more goal required nerves crept in and a more cautious approach yielded two goals and the cushion they desired. Two very sporting teams applauded each other as St Johns stepped up to the podium to accept their Championship medals and a deserved place in the Premiership with Bellefield for next year.

Congratulations to Staverton and Studley Green for their fantastic approach to football this year. With another years experience we fully expect them to be battling it out with the top dogs! With the fixtures done and dusted all three teams decided they had enough energy for one final friendly game with saw Bellefield and St Johns neck and neck once again.
