Dover School Games Year 6 Handball Competition 

We entered 2 teams into this competition at DGSB. The A team won all their games in the 1st round so went into the top 2 teams final. The B team won one, and lost two so played in 5th and 6th position final. In this final the whole team played well but were unfortunate not to win so finished in 6th position. The A team also played well but St Mary’s were just a little stronger and took their chances to score, resulting in River A finishing in runner up position. 
Well played to both teams who certainly improved their Handball skills throughout the competition.
