All Year 5 and 6 pupils enjoyed a morning with the Shrewsbury School Sports department having a go at Rowing, Fives and honing their Cricket skills.

Rugby vs Cothill – Report by Team Captain, Ferdi
The match against Cothill was my favourite rugby match this season so far. At the start of the match, we just weren’t ‘switched on’, as we had been on a two-and-a-half-hour journey. It also didn’t help that Louis and Andrew were injured at the start. Freddie scored a Hat Trick, and on two of the […]

U11 Hardball Cup Finalists
On possibly the hottest day of the year, Packwood’s U11 Colts (including three Year 4s) travelled to Malvern to compete in the initial group stages against The Elms and St Hugh’s. Packwood won both very exciting games by very small margins. Highlights were Gabriel’s excellent 31 retired against The Elms. Kyle and George showed maturity […]
Packwood U13 v Shropshire U12 – A Tense T20
On a pleasant Tuesday afternoon, the Packwood U13A team played out a tense T20 against Shropshire U12s. Shropshire won the toss and put Packwood into bat. This seemed a good call as the Shropshire bowlers piled the pressure on the Packwood boys with precise line and length. Packwood struggled to get the run rate going […]
