sports report
On Saturday 19th of may a group of students went to represent the College at the Duke of Yorks cup for athletics. There was a lot of effort put in by everyone, with people doing events they are unfamiliar with and succeding at it. A few of the outstanding first place winners were Toby Udofia, Moshope, and Sarita Gurung. Although we did not come out first place everyone in the team should be credited on their team spirit and great performance.
In tennis the under 14 team started their season with a win against the King's Rochester team with a score of 6 sets to 3. On saturday they played a remarkable match against Duke of Yorks winning all sets; special mention must go to Olivia Collins who stepped up to replace an ill member in the second pair. For the majority of them this season was the first time they have played tennis for the school so to be able to come out with 2 wins is a great achievement, we hope they will continue to have the same enthusiasm throughout the rest of the season.
The under 15 team have also started with a very promissing season winning the Granville League Tournament with a great score of 18 making up 6 games, the whole team should be credited on their performance as they applied all the skills which they have learnt during practise sessions. With a win against Kings Rochester the Under 15s continued to be successful in their fixtures; this was also follwed by a close match against Duke of Yorks, although it was the toughest match so far the team came out victorious winning 5 sets to 4. Special mention must go to Saleena Gurung.
Unfortunately due to bad weather the the first and second team's fixture against Duke of Yorks had to be postponed. However this was follwed by The Granville League Tournament.
As our first match was postponed we were extremely keen to play this tournament.
There was a very fine drizzle throughout the afternoon, but we managed to complete all the matches.
There were four schools taking part and each
