Anthea was voted Player of the Match by the away side for her ability to tenaciously attack the ball at the net and her serves that arrive like rockets. Well done to the team for putting on such a dominant performance.

The Badminton Team welcomed two teams from Malvern College last Saturday for singles and doubles match play.

Although the annual St Mary’s Cup Lacrosse Tournament had to be cancelled due to the weather, the 1st and 2nd teams played a straight fixture against St Mary’s Calne in a modified version of the Olympic Sixes.
Using a smaller pitch and blending the best of lacrosse with influences from basketball and ice hockey, Sixes is a fast paced, high scoring game that requires quick reactions, precise technical skills and innovative tactics.
CLC was on fire, showcasing improved defensive shapes, great transitions and stunning goals. Keep an eye out for information from Ms Cornbrooks about a trip to The Fly in the summer term where Great Britain’s 2028 Olympic hopefuls will be showcasing their skills.
Meanwhile, the LC lacrosse teams showcased the months of hard work that has occurred since September when they first played Westonbirt. The U12s improved the scoreline each quarter and focused on creating team moments of possession which resulted in a beautiful goal created from defensive transition. Both the U14s and the U13s took the opposition to the wire in one goal thrillers. The atmosphere was electric!
Three senior teams took to the field in preparation for the upcoming end of season tournament. Great moments of textbook goals and defensive double teams were seen in every match. A huge well done to all the players who participated in the joint lacrosse and netball Super Saturday.
Last weekend, hockey had an amazing Saturday morning of indoor sport with Cheltenham Junior Hockey Club, playing a round robin tournament with LC1 and LC2 students. Some fantastic hockey was played with many trying indoor for the first time - a very exciting future ahead!
This week we had a fabulous morning at King's School Worcester with the U12/13s playing a mixed tournament. The girls all had fun and there was some fantastic hockey played.
The afternoon saw a very strong King's 1st team challenging us to play our best hockey. We utilised some fantastic shape to retain the ball with a marked improvement in both receiving and passing elements. The 2nd team pushed King's all the way, conceding a goal in the last moments to lose a tight game. The U14’s and U15’s had some fabulous passages of play in really tight games with some standout performances from players all over the pitch. We are tremendously proud of you all for embodying our CLC sporting values!

In the afternoon, the U14, U15, and senior teams worked diligently to refine their transitions and passing up the court, showcasing their determination and skill. Well done to everyone for a fantastic weekend of netball!
