Westfield Junior School pupils and staff mentions in the News and Sports Mail, January-February 1977

News about Westfield Junior School was relatively quiet during January and February. The bad weather meant many junior football matches were called off leading to a huge fixture backlog by the end of February.

On the other hand, a gymnastics report appeared in The News and reports of Donna Hillyer's cross-country running performances appeared in both papers during this period.

The News, Thursday 3 February 1977.
Donna Hillyer won the girl's 2000m race at Alexandra Park in 6 mins 19 secs.

But Westfield's gymnastics team was in the spotlight in The News, Wednesday 26 January 1977.
They won the 2nd round of the English Schools' Gymnastics Association national knock-out cup, beating Lake Middle School, 121-113.
