Boys Football Michaelmas term football was introduced for Sixth Form boys for the first time and we once again saw huge participation numbers across all age groups. In the Lower School every boy represented the school in a fixture against another school, which in itself is a great achievement. In the Middle School we managed to field 12 teams across the three age groups with the U16Bs, U15Bs, U14As and U14Bs all winning their respective leagues. The 1st XI had a fantastic season, bouncing back from a very tough start with some difficult knock-out competition fixtures. The contribution of the Upper Sixth boys undoubtedly ensured we had such a strong season and huge thanks go to Daniel Healy, Daniel Agmoni and our captain Anton Macfadyen for being such positive role models to the younger members. 82 SPORT REVIEW The Lent term got off to a flying start when we faced Worth in the first block fixture of the season. Standout performances from the U16As, U14Bs and the U14Cs got us off on the front foot and we never looked back from then on, despite losing a weekend of fixtures during the snow. Some memorable matches included playing against Brighton College on their 3G pitch, with the 1st XI coming away with an outstanding 3-2 win and the 2nd XI with a brilliant 2-2 draw. We also had number of midweek fixtures against a variety of opposition schools, all of which were hugely enjoyable and very competitive. As always, my thanks go to all the staff who put in a huge amount of time and most importantly to the students, who commit their time and effort to training and representing the school so well.
