ANNIVERSARY LACROSSE MATCH
On the Sunday morning of Founder’s Weekend, to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Downe House’s first National Schools’ Lacrosse Championships title win, Miss Charlotte Williams (Assistant Director of Sport – Competive Sport & Fixtures) organised an Alumnae vs Downe House lacrosse match – a brilliant game in which the DH Alumnae stole the victory by one goal after a closely fought match! It was a wonderful opportunity to bring together alumnae spanning across the decades – five to be precise – united by one common

passion – lacrosse! Four players from the historic 2001 winning team played – Tamara Gall (DH 2001), Charlotte Williams (DH 2001), Anna Glasswell (Brooksbank DH 2003), Annabel Simpson (Norris DH 2003), and no less that nine Downe House School Lacrosse Captains were present, some still playing internationals others who needed to borrow sticks. The game was incredibly close and oozed the grit, determination, athleticism and competitiveness that Downe House is renowned for.
