 This week our year 9 team were beaten narrowly (18 – 15) by a very strong Wirral Grammar side in the final of the Wirral basketball playoffs.

We progressed to the final with an impressive 19-15 win over South Wirral in the Semis.
The final was a bridge too far and after a close game that saw us in the lead for long periods we lost to a very good Wirral side. We did really well to finish second out of 10 schools.
