Team medals
A special mention goes to our silver medallist Under-12 boy’s hockey team. Many of the squad also represented the Under-14 team that won the plate competition. Congratulations also to our BMX and boys’ football squads, who won bronze medals.
Fair Play Awards 2018
A different kind of medal to two squads who won praise from other boroughs for ‘Fair Play’. Team Lambeth loaned a bike to another borough so that they could take part in road cycling, and fellow competitors in squash acknowledged our first-timers for “… great spirit and effort”!
Thanks to all – not just athletes
‘Thank you’ to all the parents, team managers and volunteers for all of your hard work and effort.
Looking ahead to 2019…
We’re already planning ahead. The season kicks off in November with cross-country. Join us, and help make 2019 even bigger and better for Team Lambeth. As one Dad of a junior fencer says: “Tala is already looking forward to next year and says next time, she’s going to win!”
