On Wednesday, Medina College hosted this year’s Federation Games event. This is an annual event within the federation where all of the year 7 students from Carisbrooke take on all of the year 7’s from Medina in 5 different sports. This year’s sports were Basketball, Cricket, Boys Football, Girls Football and Handball.
The day started with an opening ceremony in the theatre, where we discussed good teamwork and sportsmanship. After moving to their sports areas, the competition got started with a bang. It was amazing, yet again, to see so many young people getting fully involved and working hard. Many of the students have never experienced a full sized sports event and it was great to see them get fully stuck into their events! With the lunch break approaching, it was clear that students were still willing to work hard and some teams had started to show themselves as potential winners of their sports.
fter the lunch it was the finals, where the winning teams in each sport would be crowned. The closest two sports were the Football events, where, in both the boys and girls finals, there was a team from each school. The top place rested on these games.They would prove to be spectacular, with all of the teams involved showing great skills and endurance after a long day.
The final results:
Basketball – Winner Medina College.
Cricket – Winner Medina College.
Boys Football – Winner Medina College.
Girls Football – Winner Medina College.
Handball – Winner Medina College.
Therefore the overall winner of the 2023 Federation Games was Medina College.
Congratulations to all of the students from year 7 who took part, you were fantastic representatives for the federation! A special thank you to the year 9-10 leaders from both schools, who officiated the event – you are a huge credit to the federation. A final thanks to all of the PE team for their hard work and to the members of teaching and support staff, who came out to support the event!
A great day had by all. Roll on next year’s event where Carisbrooke will be looking to take the top spot!
