ALDWICKBURY’S UNDER 14 TEAM ARE THE SATIPSKI’S 2010 CHAMPIONS

On Monday the ski teams took part in the first schools’ race to be run on an indoor snow slope as opposed to a dry ski slope. The day was a great success and it was very gratifying to maintain our strong level of performance. Satipski is the unofficial Prep Schools’ National Championship.

The Under 14 team skied exceptionally to win their competition by a very narrow margin, while the Under 11 team managed 3rd place. Special congratulations to ski captain Luke for finishing 2nd in the Individual event.

The teams were as follows: (with Top 10 Results)

Under 14:

Luke (2nd), Ben (4th), Max (5th), Michael

Under 11:

James P (4th), Adam , James R, Jacob

 

A Faultless Century!

The highlight on the cricket field must be George’s achievement of scoring a hundred for the 1st XI in their match against York House. George batted beautifully for almost two hours to complete a faultless century. Congratulations George, it was a pleasure to watch. Let's hope it is the first of many for this talented cricketer!

We also had great individual successes in our matches on Wednesday against St Martin's. 50's were scored by Mark F(1st XI), Sarvesh  and Luke (2nd XI), and Andrew (Colts A). Milo (1st XI) produced the incredible bowling figurers of 8 overs, 1 maiden, 6 for 17: all 6 wickets were cleaned bowled!!

1st XI cricket colours have been awarded to George and Mark F this week.
