Term 3 Korfball Tournament 2022

Being at the tournament was an amazing experience and opportunity. Most of us almost tripped on our way to Hagley Park because of all the excitement. Group of teams were said aloud and we all encouraged each other. Many people were feeling anxious for their first game but they also were super excited to be playing Korfball and missing out on school. Everyone had high expectations in participating and it was a great opportunity to play with people from other classes and years that they didn’t know. At the end of the day everyone was so worn out, tired, and sore.Most importantly we wore our school uniform with confidence and showed the Heaton values.

On Monday the 19th of September the Heaton Korfball teams went to the Hagley park netball courts for their Korfball tournaments against other schools. Once there they had round robin matches in the morning and then they had competition matches after lunch.

Our Heaton Korfball teams did astonishingly well that day with some awesome sportsmanship and skill. The teachers Mrs. Eames, Mr. Colvin and Mr. Evers helped escort our teams to Hagley park. Heaton #4 came 11th, Heaton #3 came 12th, Heaton #2 came 13th, Heaton #1 came 15th, Heaton #5 and came 17th.

CAIMS Invitational Tournament 2022

The 2022 CAIMS Winter & Indoor Tournament was a fantastic success for our Heaton athletes!

With nine sporting codes on offer (badminton, basketball, football, hockey, netball, rugby sevens, squash, table tennis and volleyball), Heaton were extremely well represented with the largest number of teams entered out of any school.

The improvements over the two competition days were amazing, as were the attitudes from our student representatives.

We would also like to recognise our three Heaton teams that won their competitions

Girls’ Canterbury Cricket Finals 2020

Canterbury Finals : 28/29 October 2020Match report from coach Barry

Game 1 : Heaton 231/5 beat Ashburton Intermediate 48 in 12.4 overs.

Heaton lost the toss and were asked to bat first. Millie S and Isla C opened and in the 3rd over Millie was run out for 2 (her first dismissal for Heaton this year). The run out was through a brilliant bit of fielding by Ashburton. Isla (7) was bowled the same over and soon after Georgetta (7)  was caught and bowled. In the 5th over we were 3/36 – not ideal but we had some strong batting to come. Our next 4 batters were retired : Emily (51*), Lilly (33*), Ciara H (29*), Ava (13) – who was retired however came back in to be later run out).  Millie M (2*) and Maya Y (4) saw out the rest of the 20 overs.

I sensed we were in for a treat with the bowling. Ava D bowled beautifully and finished with the standout figures of 4-5-7. There were two dropped catches but Millie M caught a great one off Lily Y bowling (2-1-9). Ciara, Isla (2-0-8), Emily bowled beautifully (2-1-2)and Millie M (1-1-3) rounded out the bowling effort.

Game 2 : Heaton 209-2 beat Darfield 65 in 15 overs

We knew nothing about Darfield except that they had a very good bowler and a batter who scored 95 in a preliminary game. We won the toss and elected to bat. This time our openers fired and did so against a very good bowling line up. Isla (26) batted beautifully scoring well with three boundaries and both batters scoring excellent singles. After 10 overs we were 80/1 with Millie S (54*) retiring followed by a double half century with Emily (56*). Elia P (2), Abby B (8*) and Lily Y (16*) kept the scorers busy by keeping up the running and scoring shots before we ended on 209/2. Particularly pleasing was how well all the Heaton batters played their best bowler who plays division one boys cricket.

With the ball, Ciara was in excellent form (4-3-17) supported by Ava (3-2-10). Their openers looked handy and started well getting Darfield to 19 before the first wicket fell. Six bowled wickets and two run outs restricted Darfield to a total of 65. Lily Y (1-1-0) and Georgetta H (2-1-10) took wickets.

Game 3 : Waimea 65/7 after 20 overs lost to Heaton 66/2 after 10.3 overs

Light drizzle pushed the game start back half an hour, but at 10am we were all ready to go. Waimea won the toss and elected to bat first.

Ava struck success in her first over bowling the opener and finished with 3-1-9. Ciara also had success in her first 2 overs with two more wickets. Ciara finished on 3-4-10 and Maya 3-1-8 bowled well especially her last over (wicket maiden).  Millie M and Maya Y combined on a well executed run out.

We started off with Isla C (10*) and Georgetta H (9*) who did well getting us to 23 after the 4th over – they were then retired allowing Mia F (3*) and Abby B (6*) to enter the crease. Mia and Abby ran well between the wickets adding another 20 runs before Abby was caught (after picking the previous ball off her pads for 4 through fine leg. Maya Y (7) and Millie M (12*)  were left the task of getting us through to 66. Millie M looked comfortable picking up a couple of 4s through fine leg and hit the winning runs.

Congratulations to all of our 13 Heaton players on a wonderful season and for being crowned Canterbury Champions. We are very proud that you will be representing our region at the upcoming Nationals tournament.
