Latest news from the Senior School
It has been an exciting and busy start to the Lent term for Boys’ Hockey. In the Junior section, we have enjoyed a number of competitive and entertaining fixtures against strong local opposition, as well as schools from further afield, including The Perse and Felsted. The U13A side, in particular, have impressed with their attacking intent and commitment to playing an expansive, entertaining style of hockey. Our Inters have also performed well across a demanding programme of block fixtures against Felsted, Culford, The Perse and Langley School. Across these rounds, the boys demonstrated resilience and teamwork, securing a series of positive results and continuing to build momentum as the term has progressed. For the Seniors, competition has been equally fierce. Fixtures against Felsted, Culford and The Perse have been played with real intensity, with the boys showing excellent commitment and energy throughout. The new-look, youthful 1st XI have made a particularly strong start, winning six of their eight matches, with one draw and one narrow defeat. Scoring an impressive 47 goals, they recorded standout victories over Felsted (12–2), Culford (7–0) and Framlingham College (7–0). They have now qualified for the Tier 1 Plate competition and reached Round 3 of the Independent School Cup. We now look ahead to the second half of term, with further block fixtures against Ipswich, Gresham’s, Framlingham and RHS. Well done to all players and staff for an excellent start to the season.
It has been a busy term building in momentum to the England Netball Regional Finals, which took place on Saturday 7 th February in Welwyn Garden City. The U14 and U16 teams won five of the six games in their respective groups, with just one loss, the U14s to St Edmunds and the U16s to St Albans. This ensured semi-final places for both teams, however opposition game in the form of the eventual overall winners, and so sadly both ended up as losses. The U19 team were in fine form throughout their group stage, securing six wins out of six. The highlight of the group games was a masterclass of patience and skill versus Haileybury, to win 15-9. The team went on to win their semi-final very comfortably 17-5, and secure National Finals qualification, for only the fourth time in the School's history!
This half term has seen the Boat Club battling a range of weather- from misty winter mornings to driving rain, wind and snow. With a couple of sessions off the water due to the river freezing, we have been on the water since, covering the miles in both the Senior and Inters Squads, while elsewhere flooded rivers have led to a number of race cancellations for us. We are hopeful that we will be racing over half term, with many of the new J14s and J15s racing in their first event. On the representative level, Ellie Thwaites (L6), James Howard (L6) and Nicholas Conway (U6) have all progressed to the next stage of the GB U19 Rowing Trials. With a training day last week, there has been some time to practice in their Trials pairs ahead of the February Trials this weekend coming. These trials have also been adjusted due to flooding and will be held at the GB Rowing Centre in Caversham. We wish all 3 the best of luck.
