Match Day Programme Girls’ Netball vs Taunton School Boys’ Hockey vs West Buckland Saturday 29 January 2022 Follow us

@ExeterSchoolUK @ExSchSports

Welcome to our opponents We are looking forward to another busy weekend of sport with boys’ hockey fixtures and girls’ netball matches taking place on Saturday and the first rugby sevens tournament of the season on Sunday. Following an excellent block netball fixture with West Buckland last weekend we are delighted to welcome the same opponents back to Exeter this week, this time for boys’ hockey. The 1st XI and 2nd XI matches are taking place on Friday evening (18:00) and the remaining matches home and away on Saturday. I hope all of the fixtures are competitive. The netball card is slightly quieter this week with the U15 and U14 squads travelling to Taunton School for matches. Our senior squads are not in action this Saturday; however, we are delighted to be able to welcome two international players, Clare Jones (Wales) and Kaitlin Lawrence (Scotland) to school where they will be running a coaching masterclass for our senior squad players. We are very grateful to them for giving up their time to work with the girls and we hope our pupils learn a lot from the session.

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 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.
