Hockey Sevens
On Tuesday 31st August, the East Cluster Sevens was held at T.G.A. Hockey Centre, Blake Park, Mount Maunganui. We had 2 teams enter from Bethlehem – a Yr5 and a Yr5/6.
First the year 5 team played and the year 5/6 team then played after them. We had so much fun there, and we got a lollypop for all our hard work, practising, waiting and playing. We got the bus there and back. Everyone that was playing in a sevens team from our school was on the bus, so it wasn’t very enjoyable because it was so squashed, but we had a really fun time though.
Unfortunately we didn’t get a placing but we did try our best. I’d like to thank all the parents that came to cheer us on, but the biggest thanks goes to our wonderful coach who has helped us though everything, Miss Cox!

Soccer Sevens
On the 31st of August it was East Cluster Soccer Sevens. It was held at Fergusson Park. The year 6 teams that played this sport are: Bethlehem (the best!!), Otumoetai, Pillans point, Matua and Bellevue. Brookfield played in the year 5’s but didn’t have a year 6 team. Our team did really well and wasted Bellevue 5-0 and Pillans point an amazing 7-0! Sadly against Matua we lost 1-0 because the ref didn’t give us one of our goals. We lost against Otumoetai 1-0 but after losing to them we found out that last year they won East Cluster and Western Bay. In the end the result was:
1st: Otumoetai
2nd: Matua
3rd: Bethlehem

Rugby Sevens
Bethlehem School entered 2 teams into the Rugby Sevens tournament - under 40kg and over 40kg for Yr5 and Yr6 combined.
Each team played against Matua, Brookfield, Pillans Point, Otumoetai and Bellevue but not all schools entered into both weight grades. We had a great day even though it was very cold and muddy! The under 40kg team came 3rd and the over 40kg team came 2nd.
Well Done Bethlehem School.
