National Competitions

Company Section have entered the Boys’ Brigades National Competitions for the first time in a number of years. We have entered four competitions namely table tennis, badminton, masterteam and 5-a-side football.

Table tennis was played at home against the 10th Wolverhampton on the 12th November.  Thomas Harper, Stuart Kirk and Liam Fearon  all  played well, with Jake Sperry as a much appreciated reserve.  However, the 10th Wolverhampton were victorious. Congratulations to the 10th and Good Luck in the next round.

Badminton was  played at home against the 17th Nottingham on the 12th November. Jack Forrest Sadler,  Kiaro Saulter, Matthew Woodcock and Kadeem Samuel Brown all played their matches well. The 17th Nottingham won by 5 games to 1. Good luck to the 17th in the next round.

Masterteam was held at Charlemont Methodist Church on the 19th November. The team was made up of Ricardo Blake, Stuart Kirk, Joshua Gould and Caleb Woodhall. Although a young team, they did very well and came in third place. We wish both  the 14th West Bromwich and the 6th/11th West Bromwich good luck in the next round.

5-a-side football (junior) to be played at Bedford by the end of January 2012.

Good luck to all taking part.

Seniors BB Rap!

Coming back from school its always tiring,

Come to BB its all inspiring

Its an organsiation to do with the Lord

We aim for the highest to gain our award!

Blue and black our uniform mix,

make sure we look sharp and mix

We start at a quarter to eight,

the wrath of Rory if we are late!

Fall in follows into our squads,

Inspection starts at eight o clock

We then split into masses

to form our classes!

Community, recreation and skill

these are the badges we aim to fullfill!

Classes complete, we reform and re-meet to formerly salute and beat a retreat!

Formal night over time to get changed,

we play lots of games of a various range,

snooker and pool, cricket and footy,

then back home tired to recharge with a butty!
