Henry Waterson and Drew Farwell picked up
a host of medals and trophies at the National
Small-bore Rifle Meeting and both boys were
selected for the GB team for an international
postal competition. The Club also enjoyed
considerable success at the Oxfordshire 50
metre competition.
Swimming
The Cross-country Club
had a good term with
boys taking the first three
places at the Sunningwell
10k and finishing
second and third at the
Longworth 10k. Other
highlights were a very
respectable second place
for both the senior and
intermediate teams at the
Harrow 10 Schools Race.
Cross-country
The U18 basketball team won a very exciting
match against Radley – it was decided in the
last three minutes of play.
Rowing

centres across the country. Max Carter Keall is through to the first round of selection for the national U16 hockey squad

The Boat Club made a positive start to the new season. Senior boys had
an excellent trip to Philadelphia for training and racing and strong results
followed in the Fours Head and for the 8 boys who qualified to attend the
Great Britain Junior Trials.
Hockey Successes
The Swimming Club saw all three age groups qualifying for the English
Schools Swimming Association National Relay Finals at the Olympic Pool and
convincing victories over St Edward’s and Stowe. Daniel McNamara also put
