Spring Term Sports Awards

Football

As the Spring Term drew to a close, the College football and hockey clubs gathered together for awards ceremonies to celebrate this season’s successes. Pupils and staff shared some drinks and snacks whilst each team captain gave a summary of how their season had gone.

In football, the U16As had an exceptional season, remaining undefeated throughout all of their matches. They also won the Home Counties Shield for the first time, defeating Claires Court 10-9 on penalties in the final. The 1st and 2nd XIs enjoyed mixed fortunes, with a 5-4 win over LVS Ascot and a battling draw against Forest School arguably the pick of their respective results. In lower year groups, it was the U13A team captained by Matty Fitzgerald who looked most impressive. They scored 4 or more goals in all but one of their matches.

On the Astroturf, the College fielded 7 hockey teams this season and pupils’ hard work in training yielded many positive performances. The highlight of the 1st XI’s season was undoubtedly a 6-0 thrashing of local rivals Pangbourne, whilst they also enjoyed a rare game of mixed hockey against Henley College. Mr Curtis led his U14A side to an impressive record of 4 wins and 2 losses, whilst Mr Brown’s 3rd XI will look back most fondly on their 2-2 draw with Lord Wandsworth College.

Various awards were then announced for each team, followed by the prestigious honour of sport colours. Award winners were as follows:
