Saturday 17th November  - Year 8-10 Rugby  V Mount Grace

Our 3rd County Cup league game saw us matched with Mount Grace, who are usually a very physical side. The year 8 team, were again missing some key players but very quickly established possession and began creating many chances with a number of key contributions from the backs. The team ended up winning the game 26-5 with some great individual performances.

The year 9 game was a very close affair. The team went up early on with some excellent tries from a number of the boys. Mount Grace managed to use their speed out wide to edge themselves back into the game and as the final whistle drew closer the team found themselves behind. With Josh Farraway coming off the sidelines after being sin binned he used his force and power to get over the line and seal a narrow 30-26 win for the team.

The year 10 team, fresh off a victory over Chancellors ran out with a strong side, bar one key player. The team started very well with some excellent backs play and a number of forwards working hard across the front line. The team, missed one key tackle and ended up going 7-0 down just before half time. We created a number of chances and with some more experience in the team would have sealed some points. The second half saw an excellent defensive display, however once again a try was conceded leaving the game at 14-0. The team put in an excellent performance and showed much character,. Their progress this season has been fantastic and they narrowly lost a game that could have swung either way.

Year 7 County 15’s Tournament @ Nicholas Breakspear School

The year 7’s were out for only the 2nd time on Saturday and were in the annual tournament at Nicholas Breakspear. The team were drawn in group 3 with some tough opposition, alongside Verulam, Beaumont and Goffs. As the games went on the team got better and better and eventually qualified from the group into the Cup competition over the plate! The team were up against Mount Grace in the quarter final and played exceptionally well, defending at times on their 5m line. The score at the end of play was level and then again after extra time, so the result was decided on a brutal toss of a coin. The team then went through to the Semi-final to play the eventual winners Beaumont. It was a great display from all the boys and a steep learning curve that will set them up for their future games. Well done to all involved on Saturday.

Monday 19th November :
Year 8 District Netball Plate Semi-final V Roundwood Park

Well done to the year 8 girls team on reaching the District Plate Final competition with a comfortable win over Roundwood Park 16-12. Bella Maskatiya was fantastic and deserved the player of the match award. Well done and good luck in the final.

Year 11 Netball V STAGS Won 15-4 (MVP Phoebe Murray)

Year 10 Wix Shield Football V Townsend
The year 10 boys earned another victory in the Wix Sield, The oldest schools football competition in the world. They played Townsend and battled from behind to take the win 4-3 after some fantastic team displays and individual goals, including a fantastic piece of flair from Joe Lowthian. The boys go on to play Lealands from Luton this Friday afternoon. Good luck.

Year 11 County Cup Football V John Henry Newman Lost 5-3 on penalties
