Match Day Programme Girls’ Netball vs Wellington School Boys’ Hockey vs. Queen’s College, Taunton Saturday 12 March 2022 Follow us
@ExeterSchoolUK @ExSchSports
Welcome to our opponents This Saturday is our busiest of the term with twenty fixtures and over 200 pupils representing the school with eleven netball teams playing against Wellington School and nine boys hockey teams matched against Queen’s College, Taunton. We very much look forward to playing against both opponents from Somerset and thank them in advance for hosting many of our teams at their schools. The U18 and U16 Rugby 7s squads are also travelling to compete in the West of England 7s on Sunday. It rounds off a bumper week of sport in which the girls swim squads competed in a gala, the seniors, U15 and U14s played in mid-week netball matches and the U13 boys’ team were crowned county champions. We are also delighted to welcome parents and spectators from both schools and encourage them to actively support all the pupils, regardless of their team, with equal enthusiasm and respect. We politely ask them to support the umpires; many of whom give up their time to enable the occasions to take place. I am sure that you will enjoy watching and we wish everyone involved in today’s fixtures the very best of luck and hope they enjoy their fixtures and visit to Exeter School.
