Rowing
Junior Inter-Regionals
J14 Quad came 3rd in their heat, which was a
good performance as it was their first regatta
race. J15s rowed in an 8+ in the J16 8+ event.
They finished 4th in the final, which
considering they were racing for the first time
in an 8+, in an event for older boys, is a strong
performance.
Bedford Amateur Regatta
1st 8+ lost to eventual winners Bedford School
in the 1st round. The 1st 8+ was missing 3 top
years, so good racing experience for the
younger members.

J15 4+ lost in the Finals to Norwich School
J14 4x+ (coxed quad) lost to Hampton School.

of the top 4 rowers from GB. They won silver
behind Germany. Tobias later won gold in the
Top 8+ for GB ahead of Germany. Luke
Robinson raced in 3 events: The 4- (coxless 4),
the 8+, and the 2- (pair). He finished 4th in the

Sailing
The sailing team has had an extremely
successful term, winning all individual
matches (against Sherborne, Canford,
Bryanston and Wellington), and in the area
events (with some 20 competitors), coming 1st
in the Southerns, 3rd in the Hoad Shield and
1st in the Thames Valley. Miles Jones (A) has
led the team brilliantly.
Tennis
The 1st VI at Winchester College have had a
stellar season, defeating the likes of Radley,
Wellington, Bradfield, Bryanston, Magdalen
College and St Edward’s. There were also
some tough losses against Abingdon,
Charterhouse and Eton. Throughout the season
Krishna Amin (Coll) and Dylan Thompson (A)
have played a key role in the team along with
the Korossy twins, Thomas (I) and James (F).
Three second years, Jean Mauratille (C),
Finbar Tellwright (I) and Archie Stokoe (I),
have all proven themselves to be worthy first
team players, having performed to a high
standard whenever needed. Due to injury Alex
Titherington (E), the talented and flamboyant
fourth year, has been unable to attend all
matches but nonetheless played a large role at
the start of the season. Will Henman (B) has
also made some appearances in the first team,
and will be a good competitor in the years to
come.

At the beginning of Cloister Time, four
students from the St Petersburg Classical
Gymnasium (School No.610) came to
Winchester College for a week to live and
study amongst us. They stayed at Burge’s, but
attended lessons and meals with us here. As a
result, they managed to integrate very
successfully, and enjoyed a broad, albeit short
insight into the Winchester experience. Apart
from studying here, they took day trips to
London and to Salisbury to get a different
flavour of England. For all participants it was
their first visit to the UK. Two English
teachers from their school, Olga and Olga, also
attended lessons and meals and even managed
to help one fortunate student through some
arduous Russian poetry! In Short Half, four of
our own pupils will go over to St Petersburg to
