Second "Friday Night Lights" victory for 1st XV

The 1st XV are making a habit of winning under lights! This time they beat the formidable Merchant Taylor's away. Quite an achievement. Points came from Howe and Riley, as usual!

National Anti-Bullying Week

This week senior pupils will be helping to spread the message about National Anti-Bullying Week. This nation-wide initiative is an attempt to raise all issues regarding relationships and how we treat each other. Assemblies will be devoted to this theme and a competition is being run to produce a poster, song, poem or collage addressing the key theme; "We're better without bullying".

I hope that all Year 13 boys support this and help the younger pupils to appreciate the importance of treating others with respect.

1st XV win under lights

The 1st XV rose to the occasion and provided an impressive display for "Friday Night Lights". The final score was 19-10 to Shiplake, with all the points being scored by College House boys; two tries for Piers Chen, one for Tom Howe and 4 points from the boot of James Riley sealed a convincing victory, in wet, slippery and foggy conditions. Tom Howe was awarded Man of the Match and, as captain, received the Davies Cup from England sevens star and Shiplake old boy, Chris Cracknell.

College House boys representing the 1st XV were: Tome Howe (capt.) Charlie Foster, George Davis, Zac Jones, Nick Arbickle (v. capt.), James Riley, Troy Janse van Vuuren, Piers Chen, Toby Stevens and Tom Waldron.

Next friday sees another floodlit game, this time at Merchant Taylor's.
