House Cross Country

The course was awash with mud and the start had to be modified to avoid churning up the games pitches.  That said, all boys were running for their Houses (north, south, east or west) and all competed in the right spirit.  Tensions were high and lots of boys were feeling rather nervous!

Once the starter signalled the start of the race, all thoughts turned to the challenging and exhilarating course that was the House Cross-Country Competition 2018.  It’s often said that boys compete at a higher level in House matches than school events and this was no exception.  I was proud of every boy who took part – you can tell a lot about a boy just by the way he engages in a cross-country event like this.

The eventual winners were: Adam, Tommy and Marcus in the Juniors; Harry, Tom and Josh in the Intermediates and Guy, Oliver  and Algy in the Seniors.
