Football
Abingdon’s footballers continue to do well,
none more so than William Whitworth in
the 4th Year who has been selected for the
prestigious Independent Schools Football
Association. William is already involved with
Reading Football Club’s Elite Academy. n
Hockey
Abingdon had three county championship
teams last term – the U13A, U14A, and
U16A. The latter went through to the South
Regional Championships, which puts them
among the top 16 hockey U16 hockey
teams in the country. William Carter Keall
has been selected for the England U16
team to play in the four nations’ tournament
against Holland, Germany and Spain in
Valencia. n
Road Relay
Just two seconds separated
the first three places in the
Annual Road Relay at the end
of last term. Thomas Kelly
was the fastest individual in a
time of 8:17. O’Doherty’s 5th
Year team came first in 37:22
with Davies’ upper sixth team
second and lower sixth team
third. n
Rowing’s Future Promise
In the light of the gold medal won by Jamie Copus, OA 2011, in the lightweight
men’s double sculls at the Australian Olympic Festival on 20 January, it’s good to
see Abingdon’s junior rowers promising well for the future. The J14s first fixture of
the year saw them win 6 out of the 7 races against St Edward’s on 2 March and
come third at the J14 National Sculling Head. n
