The Year 11 Biathlon Team travelled to Crystal Palace on 27th March to compete in the finals of the national Schools' Biathlon Championships. All the girls ran incredibly well in the 1000m, all managing to produce a personal best time. The 100m swim was a real challenge after pushing themselves so hard in the run but all did extremely well.
Their overall performance gained them 4th place. For a small school of just under 200 students to produce the fourth best Biathlon team in this age group in the country is a truly amazing achievement.
Well done to Billie Jayne, Chloe and Teresa.

Kent Netball Tournament - 17 January 2011
The U14s were slightly luckier with the weather and overall had a very positive tournament with two very good wins and other matches that were very close.
u13 Hockey - 19 January 2011
The u13s played their first Hockey match this Wednesday against Bethany School. They played extremely well and all members of the team played their part to win the game 3-0.
u14 Hockey - 22 November 2010
Cobham 2 : Gads Hill 0
This was the first match for the U14 team. The team began very well with Georgia Chisnall and Maimuna Yunni scoring a goal each in the first 3 minutes. Things looked promising! Several changes had to be made as the match progressed because one or two players were getting tired, and we have so many keen hockey players. Shalini Lail and Lizzie Handy were very solid in defence whilst Georgia and Amy Hurst were excellent in attack. However, the player of the match chosen by Gads was Belen. She was outstanding on the left wing with her control, pace and reverse stick skills.
U16 Hockey - 2 November 2010
Cobham 2 : Bethany 2
Cobham 0 : Kings 0
I have been invited to train in the Junior Hockey Academy at Holcombe to improve my skills and fitness on the pitch. Training at Holcombe on a Tuesday combines fitness along with hockey skills and games to improve every aspect of the player. The training is taken by international hockey players who have an excellent level of skill and understanding of the game.
Cobham 6½ : Coombe Bank 9½
Natalie Ruiz and Nichole Ranger displayed some excellent fielding skills.
We wish Billie- Jayne luck.
Cobham Hall 17 : Coombe Bank 8 ½.
The girls played exceptionally well. Player of the match was Billie-Jayne Kidd. Special mentions also go to Justina Balch, who managed to score 4 ½ rounders, and Christelle Chapman who scored 4 rounders. Alex Maclachlan in Group 3 demonstrated flawless back -stopping skills managing to catch 3 people out from backward hits!
Coombe Bank wanted to give all the girls player of the match as they felt that the entire team played an excellent part in the win!
We didn’t manage a win, but the girls enjoyed their matches. Emilie and Paige in Group 3 were successful in one match winning 3-2. Well done.
Chantelle Roles also had her AS level moderation . She had to observe a netball performance and discuss the player for 20 minutes with reference to psychology, physiology and social topics. Chantelle deserves to be commended for an outstanding achievement. Both her planning and execution were excellent.
