2024-2025

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! 

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

Basketball Competition

On Wednesday 20th November, a group of children took part in a Year 5 & 6 Basketball competition held at Herne Bay High School. The competition started with a group phase where we had to play 4 matches. The children played amazing in each match, competing really well and showing all their Basketball skills. 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.

Basketball team: Charlie, Henry, Nate, Oliver, Elsie, Kitty-Rose & Chloe.

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!

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

Football Futures Schools Festival

On Wednesday 23rd October, our boys football team took part in the Football Futures Schools Festival. The competition was set out in a group stage where each team had to play each other once followed by the knockout stage. The team played really well, with some lovely passing, superb attacking and defending. During the group stage they played 6 matches, winning 2, drawing 3 and losing 1. We then moved in the quarter final stage where we had a very competitive match against Davington, it ended 2-2 and we unfortunately lost on penalties. 

The boys were a real credit to the school and showed plenty of school values throughout. Well done Team Hampton! 

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

Girls Football Match

On Monday 21st October, we took part in our first ever league game and we put up a victorious battle against Bysing Wood. We then smashed in 3 goals against their goalkeeper, scored by Elsie S (2) and Porscha. Unfortunately, they also got a goal last minute which was very unlucky to concede. The match ended 3-1 and we were all very happy!

Boys Football Match 

On Wednesday 16th October, we travelled to Herne Bay Junior School for our first football match in the league. I think both teams put in amazing effort and energy but it was unfortunate for Herne Bay Juniors. They were a good side but unlucky for them we beat them 7-0! The lads scored some amazing goals. The goals were scored by Harry (3), Arthur (2), Beau and Charlie. As I was captain, I was very impressed with my teammates.
