Twelve Y11 girls from QEGS played their first ever 5 a side football games against Caistor Yarborough Academy on Tuesday 28th January.
Annabell Sanderson competed in the pony premiere show at Aintree. She finished 4th out of 54 starters in the Hickstead JC qualifier just missing out on a qualifying place. This was a fantastic achievement as it was her first time competing at that level.
The Y7&8 Girls Football team have had a fantastic term. QEGS hosted a 7-a-side football tournament for Y7&8 girls in October. Over 60 girls from 8 different schools were playing football, competing and representing their schools. We had 15 players representing the school and the QEGS A Team emerged as winners with the QEGS B Team narrowly missing out on 3rd place to finish 4th.
