A huge well done to our Year 8 and Year 9 basketball teams, who represented Dame Elizabeth Cadbury School brilliantly in their Matrix Trust Sports fixtures yesterday!

A special congratulations goes to Year 8, who secured a fantastic 12–9 victory against Turves Green Boys School to win their first Matrix Trust basketball fixture of the tournament. An excellent achievement and a great reward for their hard work, teamwork and determination. We also had Elijah and Lucas in year 7 playing in the year above with both students putting on a fantastic performance. 

Year 9 also deserve great credit following a closely contested 14–19 defeat. They showed tremendous effort pushing their opponents all the way in what was a competitive match and a much-improved display since the two teams last met.

Both teams should be incredibly proud of their performances, and we look forward to seeing them build on these performances in future fixtures! This also makes it 2-1 to DEC vs Turves Green Boys School this week with all basketball fixtures now played ☺️🔥🏀
