In the morning, a team of Year 3 & 4 children competed in the competition showing their amazing Hockey skills and working really well as a team. They played 4 games overall, winning 3 and losing 1. They unfortunately didn't make it through to the latter stages but they should be super proud of themselves. Following on from this, in the afternoon a team of Year 5 & 6 children then took part in the competition. This was a very competitive competition with lots of fantastic Hockey being played. The team played 4 group games winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 1. They managed to advance through to the quarter finals where they played Bridge and lost 2-0. They played so well as a team and showcased all their skills. Well done to both teams, you done the school proud.

Boys Football Match

On Monday 10th March, we travelled to Herne Junior School for our penultimate league game of the season. The boys were in high spirits after winning 3 games out of 3 in the league so far but they come up against a strong Herne side. The match started with Herne on the front foot scoring within the first 30 seconds of the match which shocked the boys and it showed on the first half performance. The team tried to play their usual style of football by passing it around keeping possession but the game become a little bit scrappy with both teams losing the ball. Josh made a couple of great saves to keep us in the game but unfortunately Herne scored again to make it 2-0 just before half time. We had a positive half time team talk and we tried to focus on what we can do in the second half. The boys kept persevering and chances started to come. Arthur scored a screamer from near the half way line that looped over the keepers head into the goal. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough and Herne Juniors came out 2-1 winners. Unlucky Team Hampton but you showed great resilience to keep going and were a credit to the school.

Boys team: Joshua (GK), Oliver, Ollie, Max, Arthur, Beau, Charlie, Harry & Vinnie.

Rapid Fire Cricket

On Wednesday 5th March, a group of 8 children from Year 1 and Year 2 took part in the local Rapid Fire Cricket competition at Herne Bay High School. They played 3 group stage games against Hernehill, Hoath and Davington. They won 1, drew 1 and lost 1 but due to a superior runs scored total we advanced through to the semi finals. We played Herne Infants and won the game in a close encounter. We played Hernehill once again in the final and narrowly lost by 6 runs overall. Team Hampton were awarded silver medals for 2nd place and they were a credit to the school. Well done Team Hampton!

Girls Football Match

Coming into this final league fixture for the girls football team, the girls remain unbeaten winning 3 and drawing 1 of their 4 games so far! This game between Hampton v Ospringe on Wednesday 26th February was a title decider on who will win the league. The game started evenly with the opposition passing the ball around nicely keeping possession, with Hampton keeping their defensive shape fantastically. It was a cagey game with very few chances, but one attack Hampton had during the first half where Ivy won the ball with an excellent tackle and pass through to Elsie S who ran in on goal and powered a low driven shot into the bottom corner. At half time it was 1-0 to Hampton. The second half was very similar to the first half with both teams not wanting to give too much away. Ospringe were coming on stronger and were now having shots from distance in which Elsie C dealt with comfortably making some great saves. In the final stages of the game, the whistle was about to blow when one of the Ospringe players smashed the ball onto the bar and the Hampton defence hurrying to clear the ball which then resulted in a 1-0 win!! The girls had done it and they are league champions (all bar the shouting), as the other teams fixtures still need to be finished.

Congratulations Team Hampton on their achievement. You should be proud of yourselves!

Girls Football Match

The girls team were on their adventures once again, this time travelling to play Whitstable Junior School on Monday 10th February. It was a cold and wet afternoon but the girls played brilliantly, working together as a team to overcome their opponents. It started off as a close contest with both teams trying to gain possession of the football. Ava scored the first goal that set the team on their way, by finding the bottom corner with a lovely left footed finish. The goals just kept coming, Ava scoring a second with Elsie adding a third before half time. In the second half the girls continued their dominance with Ava getting her hat trick and Elsie grabbing another two to also get her hat trick.

The score at the end of the game finished Whitstable Juniors 0-6 HAMPTON!! A massive well done to the girls who continued their fantastic form in the league. Well done Team Hampton!!

Girls Football Match

On Thursday 30th January, the girls had an away game at Davington. They were full of energy and excitement before the match and channeled it perfectly into their amazing team performance, which saw the girls win 4-0! 

The first half was a close encounter with some half chances for both teams but it was Hampton who scored just before half time with a lovely slotted finish by Ava into the bottom corner. Half time 1-0. We regrouped during the break and discussed what we needed to do. The girls took on board the information brilliantly and scored 3 more goals in the second half. Those goals were scored by Elsie S x2 and Ava also getting herself a brace.

Great team win and performance. Well done Team Hampton!

Boys Football Match

On Thursday 28th November, the boys football team had a league match against Swalecliffe. It was a tough match, both teams playing some great football. We went 1-0 down but the boys kept playing their football, passing it around and creating chances to score. We equalised during the first half when Harry slotted the ball into the bottom corner after a fantastic pass from Charlie. Half time was 1-1. The second half was very even with both teams playing some brilliant football and some amazing defensive work. Swalecliffe scored a good goal to make it 2-1 and the boys didn't let this affect them. The team kept pushing and pushing when eventually the equaliser came from Vinnie's stunning 20 yarder into the top corner. The game was coming into the closing stages and the boys kept asking questions of their opponents defence and within the last few minutes Harry smashed one home to make it 3-2!! The boys needed to concentrate for the final minutes and Swalecliffe had a great chance 1 on 1 with Josh who saved the shot onto the bar maintaining our 3-2 lead and our victory! 

Amazing comeback from the boys who ran out 3-2 winners against Swalecliffe! Let's continue this momentum into the New Year. Well done Team Hampton!

We ended up winning 2 matches, drawing 1 match and losing 1 match. With the points totaled up, we finished the group in second place and went through to the quarter finals! In the quarter finals, we faced Herne Juniors in a tough match. We unfortunately lost the match 1-0 in the last minute but the children showed great teamwork and were gracious in defeat. 

Well done Team Hampton. You should all be proud of yourselves.

Boys Football Match

On Wednesday 13th October, the boys football team played Thorden Wood at home in the league. It was a very cagey game to start with both teams passing the ball around trying to unlock each others defences. Hampton had most of the chances first half and it was Max who broke the deadlock with a nicely timed flicked finish from a Harry corner. Arthur soon doubled our lead with a long range strike that flew past the keeper to make it 2-0 going into half time. The second half started how we finished the first half, keeping the ball and creating chances. The third goal came towards the end when Charlie picked the ball up on the right hand side cut in past 2 defenders and drilled it low and hard into the bottom of the corner. 

A great 3-0 win for the boys team, played with confidence and control. Well done boys!
