Cricket finals night
13/07/2026 4:10 PM
Having finished top of their cricket league, Prae Wood received an invitation to finals night held at Samuel Ryder last Friday,
First up was a semi final against Wheatfields which Prae Wood won thanks to a combination of great bowling, batting and fielding. Straightaway, the team were put into bat against Samuel Ryder, who had won the first semi final against Fleetville. The team didn't manage to set quite as high a target for Samuel Ryder to chase but got off to a great start with Ayden taking a low catch behind the wicket off the first ball. However, wickets were not easy to come by and in the final two overs an experienced batting pair put on a great defensive display, preventing Prae Wood from taking any further wickets, which would have reduced their opponent's run total.
Nevertheless, finishing runners up out of sixteen local primaries was a great result especially as it was the first time since the league began four years ago that Prae Wood have made it through this far. Thank you to all of the other members of the striking and fielding club who played in earlier fixtures and contributed to the team's success.

Congratulations to La'ren in Year 6 who won a gold medal at the U11 inter-county basketball tournament held at the Essex Sports Arena at the weekend.
Following a series of trials back in April, La'ren was selected to represent Hertfordshire. At the tournament, the Herts team were undefeated beating Norfolk 32-19, Suffolk, 28-14, Cambridge 48-12 and Essex 32-31. The Essex game had travelling spectators on the edge of their seats as the game was won with a free throw with just 0.5 seconds left on the clock. What a great result!
Saracens Tag Rugby Festival
10/07/2026 4:02 PM
Two teams of children from Year 3 and 4 took part in a Saracens tag rugby festival at Harpenden RFC this week.
With the event initially having been postponed due to rain, this time the children had thirty degree heat to contend with. It is unusual to be asked to sub players off, but it was definitely a hot afternoon and frequent rest in the shade was needed to re energise the players who put in lots of running to both take tags and prevent tries being scored as well as scoring tries for our team. Well done to everyone involved and a big thank you to our supporters for your encouragement and for keeping the water bottles topped up!
