Match Day Programme Girls’ Netball vs West Buckland Boys’ Hockey vs. King’s Bruton & Taunton Prep Saturday 22 January 2022 Follow us

@ExeterSchoolUK @ExSchSports

Welcome to our opponents This Saturday’s fixtures feature our first weekend netball block of the season against West Buckland and are looking forward to welcoming our friends from North Devon to Exeter for eight home matches. Our senior teams are traveling in the opposite direction, and we look forward to competitive fixtures both home and away. It is an equally busy day for the boys’ hockey squads with fixtures against King’s Bruton from U14 to 1st XI and our U13 and U12 teams making the journey up the M5 to play against Taunton Prep School. Both are traditionally tough opponents and will be a tough challenge for the hockey teams following a successful weekend last Saturday.

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 today’s umpires; many of whom give up their time to enable the occasions to take place.

I am sure that you will enjoy watching and I look forward to meeting many of you throughout the day. We wish everyone involved in today’s fixtures the very best of luck and hope they enjoy their fixtures and visit to Exeter School.
