Tennis
U12 and U13 Internal Tournaments
24 x U12 and 27 x U13 tennis players took part in a doubles tiebreak 10’s internal tournament on Milham Ford and School Field respectively. Both year groups played 5-6 round-robin tiebreaks with a full set to decide the final standings.

Jamie and Snow took 1st place with Jasper and Taran finishing 2nd in group 1. Anders and Ed claimed 6 victories in their group stage with Tom and Gabriel as well as Ed and Ben each placing second with 4 wins.
U12 Results:
23 2nd Form tennis players attended on Saturday to play in an internal doubles tournament. There was a good level of tennis played across the board, with some very tight matches. The overall winners of the tournament was the pairing of Kida and Luca.
External Fixture v Eton A + B and Harrow
32 senior students travelled to Eton to compete with Harrow and Eton in a singles and doubles four-way event. Seniors and U15’s faced tough opposition and placed 4 out of 4.
U16’s won one match 45-27, Drew one 36-36 and lost to Eton A’s 34-38.
U14’s placed 1st in their event.
Girls v Bloxham and Tudor Hall
The girls played Bloxham and Tudor Hall in two closely matched fixtures. Alice and Clemmie didn’t drop a set all day, with Claire and Katie losing a tight match against Tudor Hall but winning in a tiebreak to secure a team win v Bloxham. Nell and Sara lost well-fought sets to both sides and only narrowly to Bloxham. Final scores, 1-2 loss v Tudor Hall, 2-1 win v Bloxham. The girls take on St Helen’s and St Katharine’s next Saturday for their round 1 National Schools match.
Cricket
There were internal fixtures this weekend for the U12-U15 age groups in preparation for external fixtures starting this week. In the U15s, Alfie, Raoul and Jimmy were the standout performers in a fixture that went down to the last over. The moment of the day came from Leo, who made a brilliant diving stop and threw down the stumps for a superb run-out.
The U14s also played out an exciting match with either team capable of winning as the last ball was bowled. The U13’s enjoyed two close games down on Merton. Bragging rights go to Alex’s side who managed to defend their first innings total of 131, despite Ben’s best efforts at the end. The U12’s made use of the time out in the middle, on School Field, alongside the U14’s.
We look forward to the fixtures v Bromsgrove this weekend and also wish the 1st XI luck as they begin their National T20 cup campaign at Bradfield on Sunday.
Rowing
Throughout pre-season and the first week back at school, the rowers have been through some tight seat racing. In some cases, there was less than a second between individuals to discover the quickest crews. Now that the seat racing results are in, our crews are focusing on National Schools Regatta at the end of May, with the final race of the season at Henley Royal Regatta in August.
The sailors also enjoyed a great morning out on the water on Saturday with excellent numbers from across a variety of year groups training.
Well done to all involved and we look forward to the first competitive school cricket fixture since 2019 being played this week!
