Head's Newsletter 2 February 2018

CRICKET NEWS An excellent afternoon from the Under 13 cricketers saw them as comfortable winners against the other Kingston Schools. They will progress to the next round of the games in the spring.

The Senior squad are finishing the season with an excellent team spirit which has seen them win two out of the last three games. Strong performances from Messrs Morlans-Whitehead, Fawsett, Coats, Long and Murugesu have really improved the 1 st XV defence which has been complimented by notably strong rugby schools such as John Fisher and RGS High Wycombe. A win on Wednesday 31 st against an all year 13 Latymer side was another impressive defensive performance. Sam Gunman really showed his potential with dynamic running and powerful tackling. A potential future leader of the 1 st XV? Elsewhere in school rugby, the U16 team hosted Belgrano Day School on tour from Argentina. Powerful runners and a lack of game understanding for the Tiffin side led Belgrano to a small victory which the boys were rightly disappointed with. Lots to work on for the Senior squad next season! The U12s continue their impressive season although just failed to get across the line against John Fisher after a last minute interception try. The U13B team are currently the team to beat at Tiffin with ten wins. Hopefully they, along with the rest of the sides can finish the 15s season on a high this Saturday at St George’s.

The Year 9 and Year 11 badminton teams have also progressed to the next round of the London Youth Games in early February. Year 9: Asaph Choi, Ninad Patil, Trinabh Kholi, Joe Murphy and Ashrith Behara (Year 8) Year 11: Varun Hanchinal, Aaryan Suriyakumaran, Tejas Kamath, Navraj Mann and Daniil Shmelev Captain Datta Vasireddy, Alex Cormack, Shivan Aggarwal, Harshil Shah,Farhaqan Shaikh, Iain Westbrook and Ashwin Bosé
