Winter Sports Exchange Medbury put on a beautiful warm afternoon for both spectators and players to host the annual St Andrews College Preparatory School winter Sports Exchange. St Andrews College (StAC) had a strong start to rugby scoring the first try. Mr Devereux had a team talk with the boys and from that point on Medbury started putting points on the board. The second half of the game was a lot more even, with both sides enjoying the game which was played with a great display of sportsmanship and grit. The final result was 44-21 to Medbury. Hockey was an extremely tough game. The game started off with a kick and a roar. It was a very close game with the ball going back and forward and both teams having even possession. There were a lot of shots at goal from both teams but the goalies put on an impressive performance to keep most of them out. The last five minutes were all in Medburys defensive half with StAC getting two quick penalty corners in the last minute of the game. They managed to score on full time resulting in a 2-1 win to StAC. Medbury showed a lot of determination in the three football games, unfortunately though we didn’t manage to secure a win. The teams all enjoyed their games and dug deep, while showing some impressive skills. It was a new and challenging experience for some of the teams playing full field and eleven aside for the first time. Medbury 13 Red lost 1-4, Medbury 12 Red lost 3-5 and Medbury 12 Blue lost 4-1. Overall it was a great day of sport. I would like to thank Mr Gilbert for organising a great afternoon of sport. Jack Bishop, 8E 43
