Special mention goes to two of our netballers! Lulu made her debut, playing for Severn Stars Under 19s against Saracens Mavericks at Hertfordshire University.

Hockey
The boys hockey programme got started this weekend with the Under 18s playing in an excellent match against Lichfield Hockey Club, which ended 4-4. A hat-trick for Harry and a Man of the Match performance from Otto were the highlights, but it is worth noting that five players from the 5th Form made their England Hockey League debut.
The Under 14s faced Shrewsbury School and felt the harsh realities of sport- they were winning 2-1 until the last seconds of the game when Shrewsbury found an equaliser.
The Under 15s also played Shrewsbury School, winning 1-0 in a great team performance in an exciting end to end game.
