“On Tuesday 4th April the Y9 / 10 and Y11 / 6th form basketball teams were invited to the Wolverhampton City Championships due to winning their leagues. All players who have represented the academy since October half term have been absolutely fantastic and finished in first place (a big mention to the Y7 / 8 team here who did not qualify for the final event but did do very well in their league). But on the day the Y9 / 10 team started off the proceedings with a fine victory over St Matthias, overcoming them 35 points to 26. Plenty of star players here and watch this space for a celebration event.

To finish off the evening St Edmund’s played against Moseley Park in the senior competition, where the best players from Y11, 12 and 13 in Wolverhampton pitted their wits against each other and produced a fine display of basketball. A great attacking and defensive display resulted in a 42 – 34 victory to St Edmund’s and a second trophy being collected on the day. A great way to celebrate the end of the basketball season. Well done to all and keep up the hard work, Mr Selvey!

PS – a big thank you to Mr Randhawa for also helping the boys on the day. You star!
