23 abingdon.org.uk On 22 June, the boat club raced at Dorney Lake for the last multi-lane competition of the year. For the senior crews this was the last race in preparation for Henley Regatta at the end of term. Glorious weather provided fast conditions and our crews performed well with the J14s finishing 2nd in the octo and the J16s finishing 3rd in the eights (unofficially setting an Abingdon record of 6:07.6 by a J16 crew). The U16s capped off a successful season with a trip to the Lee Valley Hockey Centre to play against Bedford School in the Plate final. After a terrific start, Abingdon took the lead through a goal from Casper. Bedford rallied and equalised before half time. Towards the end of a close second half, Bedford scored again and, despite sustained late pressure and a couple of great opportunities, Abingdon couldn't find the equaliser and eventually lost 2-1. National Hockey U16 Plate Final Hockey hotshots Congratulations to Second Years Charlie, Euan and Charlie who played in the England Hockey U13s Tier 2 final in April with their home club, Wallingford Wildcats. After an unbeaten season, they came up against a tough Folkestone side in the final and did not quite secure a win, but they can be very proud of themselves for winning silver medals. Marlow Regatta On 25 April the athletics club took part in their first event of the season - The Radley Relays - which enabled students throughout all year groups to take part. Overall the event was a huge success with several teams winning their respective relays, with Abingdon winning the final three medley races putting us in 1st place. Radley Relays Sport Abingdon
