THFC Inclusive Girls Football Festival March 2020

APS Girls football team had a great time at the third THFC Football Festival, hosted this year by The Vale School and the THFC in the Community Coaching Team. Unfortunately the current situation with Corona Virus meant it was just APS and The Vale in attendance.

This did not prevent the girls from renewing friendship’s with their opponents and getting to play a range of games. Following a football warm up led by the Spurs coaching staff the girls played some traditional 5- Aside futsal followed by some Team Building Challenges including Human Connect 4 and tag games.

We followed our lunch by playing Football Rounders and giving American Football a go. THFC are hoping to host NFL matches and the girls had a chance to develop their quarter-back skills.

Congratulations to Maddie who was presented with the Player of the Day award for her Positivity.

APS’s Chloe selected for Team GB U18 Ice Hockey Team

CONGRATULATIONS to Chloe on her recent selection for the GB U18 national Ice Hockey team. Year 9 Chloe was the youngest member of the squad who recently travelled to Katowice to represent GB U18 Women’s team in the 2020 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women’s World Championships in Poland. Here she came up against the best Under 18 girls from Poland, China, South Korea, Austria, and Norway. Chloe deserves a lot of credit for her fearless displays in defense, where she came up against some considerably older and more experienced opposition. Not to mention ice baths after a tough game!

Chloe is a tremendous ambassador and positive role model for female sport at APS. Already this year she is a Middlesex U15 County Finalist for Indoor Cricket; has won the Haringey U15 Girls’ Handball and Rugby Competitions, so will soon be representing APS / Haringey in both London Youth Games Finals and recently appeared in a Middlesex U14 Girls Football semi final.

APS Cricketing Champions! Three Cheers!

The APS U15 Girls cricket team were crowned Haringey Champions in the HSSA Competition hosted by Fortismere.

They beat Highgate Wood in the semi final and then Highgate Public School in the final. This led to an invite to the Middlesex Indoor Cricket School to represent Haringey in the Inner Region Final. Here the girls qualified for the County final by comfortably beating South Hampstead High School for Girls 137 runs to their 71 runs; followed by a narrow victory against  Upper Latymer School, passing their score of 83 runs with just three balls of the last over to spare. The girls now go on to play in the Middlesex final as one of the best five schools from all over Middlesex, playing off to see who become’s this year’s top school for cricket.

Another excellent team performance, helped APS girls win the U15 Inner Region Middlesex Cup Competition for the second time out of the last three years. The Middlesex Final is an all day competition, at the same venue, to be held on Thursday 5th March. All the girls should be very proud of their achievement, as this is the first time that our U13 and U15 girls both get to appear in the County finals in the same year.

Yr 10 Girls and Boys Badminton wins!

APS Yr 10 boys continued with their fine run of form in the first rounds of the National Schools badminton Championships. Only a sterling effort from HF school’s county players prevented APS from coming away with gold Medals.
