Colts B & C travel to Dunhurst; Bedales’ Prep School.  

All remaining players have Games at home and skiing takes place as usual. 

On Saturday, we close the football season with matches against Twyford. Please note, Twyford have kindly agreed to a 1400 kick-off to accommodate choristers for at least part of the match before the big advent service in the Cathedral later that evening. 

Good luck to Mr Cleaver’s runners on Monday in the district cross-country event. 

Apologies, with the busyness of term, our match reports from last week continue to be gathered. However, we do have Mr Buck’s report of the concluding round of the Inter-Set Football from last Saturday. 

Inter-Set Football Round Two 
Sunshine and blue skies welcomed the boys down at Wolvesey Castle for the second round of set football.  

The juniors' competition kicked into gear early and all the players showed why it is such a popular event. Smiles, team spirit and good football are all on show in the glorious winter sun. 

After round 1, it was clear that the Romans were the hot favourites in Year 5. The trend continued, and they finished top of the pile with 20 points. Notable improvements were made by the Wrens and the Normans, however. 

The Year 4 competition also had some exciting matches. Wrens, on 13 points, were just pipped to the post by the Normans on 15 points. Well done to all the Juniors! 

The Year 6 competition was played at a fantastic pace. Some excellent pieces of individual skill along with team camaraderie that was lovely to see, resulted in excellent viewing for the cheering parents on the sidelines. The Wrens were the run-away winners on 22 points. 

The Year 7/8 Championship was also keenly contested, with all matches only being decided by the odd goal. The Wrens ended up taking the win on 22 points. 

In the Premier competition, it was the Normans who dominated whilst the other sets battled it out amongst themselves in extremely close competition. 

Great fun was had by all and a great example of how the game should be played.  Well done.
