RUNNING

After a great team 5th in the Kings trophy bookended by inspirational Jonny Schafer and a fine second by Connor Foley the team progressed to the quarter final of the English schools cup. Again the leadership of Jonny and Connor laid the foundations of a memorable double victory on Tuesday 11th Oct. The team with the strong middle order of Oscar Luck , Athav Pruthi and a resurgent run by Dhruv Simmonite conquered all the strongest county Surrey, could offer. From the gun Connor engaged in a dual for the lead. The swashbuckling pair led the field over the persistently undulating terrain. It was not until the last metre that Connor finally shaded ahead for a fine individual and collective premiership. The juniors led home by an equally terrific match up saw Thomas Whorton place a great second.

The team position of 5th might sneak them into the semi finals to join the all conquering seniors. The Inters had great cup debuts from Joshua Anstey and Ethan O'Keeffe who helped the team to place handily in the top dozen. To put in perspective well over 100 teams competed on the day so all should be proud of representing their school. The year 7s had a great spin at the mighty Oxted the following day with the A and B teams matched well for 2nd and 3rd against strong opposition.
