We have had an amazing first day at New Barn. Group A have been busy with the living history activities while Group B have been honing their survival skills. Tomorrow the groups will switch activities. 

We are excited for the BBQ and storyteller. All teachers are feeling hopeful that a quiet, restful and calm night of sleep will be had.

The final started positively for the Lions as they took an early lead thanks to a penalty from Remi. However, Ferndown showed their strength and equalised almost immediately. Two further goals put Ferndown in control at half-time leading three one. In the second half, the Lions manged to score one more thanks to Brodie but Ferndown triumphed 5-2.

Although the boys were disappointed at the result, they should be proud of their efforts as they are only the second Longfleet team ever to reach the final of this competition. Thanks to all the parents and families for their support all season and we wish these players well with their future sporting careers!
