On Wednesday, the school basketball team travelled to Southampton to take part in the county basketball finals. Having won the Basingstoke event back in December this was a chance for the children to pit themselves against the best schools in the county. 

We were placed in a group of six schools and had to play each of the other schools. After a tough first match, that resulted in defeat we won our next two matches before narrowly losing the final two. With a record of 2 wins and 3 defeats it meant we finished 4th in our group and were placed alongside all the other teams who had finished 3rd of 4th in their groups. 

This meant we played another 5 matches and again managed to pick up 2 wins and 3 defeats. So in the final rankings St John's finished a very impressive 10th out of 18th teams. Well done to all that were involved and represented the school so well.
