The above event had been postponed from the April school holidays due to COVID and unfortunately coincided with other sporting events so our school team was not as strong in numbers as in the past. This year the relay event was not included in the revised programme due to the timing of the event.

Our boys competed highly and were placed 2nd in the Top Schools competition.
