COMMUNITY SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS
A huge congratulations to Reuben B (34C), who competed in his first race as part of the Le Mans Rookie Driver Development Program. Reuben secured a podium finish, taking 3rd place in the end-of-season race.
Well done, Reuben! 💪🏼
A huge congratulations to Amelia S (5RC) on an outstanding first representative basketball season so far! At the halfway mark of the season, Amelia's hard work, determination, and commitment to improving every game have already led to some incredible achievements, including reaching #1 in her division for 2-pointers and #2 overall for total points scored.
These results are a fantastic reflection of the effort she puts into both training and competition. We are so proud of the way Amelia continues to grow in confidence, skill, and teamwork each time she steps onto the court.
Well done, Amelia – we can't wait to see what the second half of the season brings!
A huge congratulations to Pippa M (34S), who was named Player of the Match on Sunday. Pippa had a fantastic game, showing great teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship. To top it off, she kicked her very first goal.
