Oshwal
U11 Football Tournament 16th June 2007
Thank you to the boys, parents and teachers who attended the U11
football tournament at Oshwal Academy last Saturday. Our two teams
played very well indeed showing such a vast improvement since the
tournament at Aga Khan. Mr. Harrison, our Computer Technician, has
taken a big interest in our U11 teams and has spent most of his
lunch times coaching them for this tournament since their losses
at Aga Khan. It has really paid off! Thanks to Mr. Farid who took
charge on the day and fired our boys with enthusiasm and Mr. Richard
who was our referee. While ALL our team members played very well
indeed, I was particularly impressed by Matthew Walters, Alex Onyango,
Alex Canobbio, Wilf Nokes, David Nesbitt, Reinout Sanders, Stanley
Nokes and Jackson Brown. Not only have the skills of all our boys
improved dramatically but also their confidence as they eagerly
await their next matches.
Report by David Nesbitt: We arrived at Oshwal with
hopes high. We played our first match against Coast Academy which
went quite well. However, Coast just managed to slip in a winning
goal in the final minutes. The match ended in a 1-0 loss to Coast
Academy. The second game was not so tragic. We played Jaffrey Academy
and managed a tie of 0-0. In the third match we made some big changes
to Team White. Alex Onyango, Nicholas Soares and I were all playing
striker. Nile MacDonald was midfield, Richard Sanders and Stanley
Nokes were defence and David Boulton was goalie. Unfortunately,
we still lost to Aga khan 1-0. In the fourth and final match there
was a display of bad sportsmanship by our opponents, Oshwal. As
we walked to the field we were told that Oshwal had forfeited the
match. We were stumped as to why they would do this as they had
been playing all morning. However, it meant that we lost our chance
to score some points and better our 3rd place overall position in
the tournament. The most important thing is that everyone had fun
and enjoyed themselves.
Report by Matthew Walters: Last week the U11 football team played
in a tournament for Mombasa schools. Braeburn came 3rd out of five
schools, losing two matches and drawing two. In the game against
Mombasa Academy, Alex Onyango was made Man of the Match. Everyone
on the team had great fun!!
Report by David Boulton: As we arrived at Oshwal Academy we could
see the other teams warming up. Aga Khan, Coast Academy, Mombasa
Academy and Oshwal were all there. Our first match was Braeburn
A vs. Coast Academy. This was our team: Attack=Oliver Boulton, Nile
MacDonald and Nicholas Soares. Centre=Devid Nesbitt and Petro Kombe.
Defence=Alex Onyango (c), Richard Sanders and Stanley Nokes. GK=David
Boulton. BMIS lost 1-0 to Coast Academy. Our second match took place
14 minutes after the first. This was against Oshwal Academy. The
score was 0-0. We came across Aga Khan in our third game. The score
was 1-0 to Aga Khan. Our fourth match was against Oshwal 'B' but
they withdrew, giving us only 1 point instead of 4. If we could
have just played that match we could have been placed 2nd. Well
done to the team! The Man of the Match was Stanley Nokes.
Report by Kyle Spencer: On 16th June we were invited
to a soccer tournament at Oshwal Academy. We arrived at 9.00 am
and started with some stretching and a light jog. Kick off was at
9.30 am. There were two teams, Braeburn Blue and Braeburn White.
I was in Braeburn Blue. The teams were Matthew Walters (GK), Alex
Canobbio and Reinout Sanders (D), Tony Neugebauer, Hamada Hamada
and Kyle Spencer (M), Allan Harding (Capt.), Jackson Brown and Wilf
Nokes (S). The first match was Mombasa Academy v Braeburn Blue and
they won 1-0. Our second was Oshwal and we drew 0-0. Our third match
was against Light Academy and they won 1-0. Our last final match
was against Aga Khan and we drew 0-0. At the end of the day we were
3rd out of 5. Well done to everyone!

The
Golden Goose
Our Early Years, Y1 and Y2 children will be presenting "The
Golden Goose" tonight at 6.30 pm. They themselves, however,
should report to their classrooms at 6.00 pm for changing into their
costumes and getting ready. We would like to make a prompt start
as so many very young children are involved. If there are any PTA
members who are willing to help man the bar, please step forward.
The Secondary production is on Tuesday (26th June) at 6.30 pm and
there will be some Y6 children involved.
After
School Activities
Just a reminder that there will be no after school activities next
week. All buses will leave at 3.00 pm.
Non-Uniform Day
There will be a special non-uniform day on Tuesday to help Y8 raise
money for the Watamu Turtle Watch as part of their PSHE project.
They are also making things to sell at the Secondary production
"Tight Lines".
School
Magazine (Year Book)
Mrs. Miranda (Y2) has been collecting photographs, pictures and
work of all kinds to put into the first Braeburn Mombasa magazine.
Most of this is now in Nairobi and it will be a beautiful record
of everything the school has done this year. She is still compiling
and sending more material up. This glossy, colour magazine will
be very expensive to produce and much of the cost can be offset
by sponsors who wish to advertise in it. If parents would like to
promote their businesses in the magazine, please let us know by
sending us your logo and advertisement or simply email it to primaryheadteacher@braeburnmombasa.co.ke
which I will then forward to our Marketing Manager in Nairobi. The
rates are as follows:
