Spikeball
Mr.Davern was teaching the 5th and 6th class students for spike ball this year. They’ve been practising for the big day. The spike ball tournament was on the 23rd of January. There was four teams… red ,blue, orange and green. The tournament was on in Villiars school. When we got there it was full of other schools. Each of our teams got to play 3-4 games . Two of ours played each other in the quarter-finals. In the end the Herbertstown orange team was successful. Herbertstown orange played St. Michael’s in the semi-finals. Unfortunately Herbertstown orange lost by 11-16. It was a great day for the school. And they can’t wait to go again next year.
