Year 3/4 Tri-Golf Tournament

Tri-GolfThis week, Fishergate School’s Tri-Golf team competed in the City of York Tri-Golf tournament, which took place at York Golf Club in Strensall. The team took part in a variety of chipping and putting challenges against ten other teams from across the city, and produced a fantastic effort to finish in 4th place overall.

A very special mention must go to Year 2 pupil, Zach Hemlin, who was drafted in at the last minute due to absence, and produced a brilliant performance against children who were mostly two years older. The children who represented the school were Reece Stillie, Charlotte Hemlin, Megan Storr, Leon Atkinson, Beau Wannell-Jamieson, Zach Hemlin, Kian Atkinson and Sam Farrell.

For those children who are interested in Tri-Golf, Mr Pennington runs a KS2 Tri-Golf club on Thursdays for which places are still available. Should you wish to enrol, please see Mr Pennington or speak to the school office.
