Year 10 Gold Medal Winners – Merit League Champions

23 Dec 2025

Congratulations to the year 10 basketball boys on becoming Park Vale’s first ever winners of the Year 10 Boys Merit League. The boys contested two games on the day of the finals, starting with a dominant performance over Outwood Academy Portland in the first game seeing PVA winners with the score finishing 39-18, with strong individual performances from a number of our students.

Game 2 was the final game, which saw PVA match up against Djanogly, a repeat fixture from the initial qualifying rounds to reach the finals. Having overcome them previously in a fairly one-sided match up, the boys were high in confidence.

Djanogly started the game brightly and never really faded throughout the game, being a constant thorn in the side of the boys for much of the match. Their spirited performance caused PVA a number of problems to overcome at times during the game, but PVA individual quality shone through with some key baskets scored at crucial moments of the game to see off a spirited challenge, with PVA securing the gold medal with a score of 32-21.
