S U M M E R SPORT
Boys’ Tennis Rain and the short period before public exams led to few school fixtures being played at senior level. However, the team successfully defended the U18 York League title, although it was a shame that the ‘title decider’ against the traditionally strong Poppleton Tennis Club was conceded at the last minute by our opponents due to transport issues! Anyway, well played to the squad of George Hobson, Rowan Rhodes, Oscar Cavill, Oli Peeke-Vout and Will Sangwin. At U15 level, it was a case of ‘so near yet so far’ in the AEGON campaign, as a shoot-out defeat against Ampleforth B led to Ampleforth A (whom we’d earlier beaten on a shoot-out!) qualifying for the next stage.

The Pocklingtonian
There is little doubt that we would have won both these games fairly comfortably had we been at full strength. The U14 York league campaign was extremely disappointing, with only the number 2 Charlie Medforth gaining regular success. In the U13 AEGON competition, defeat against a very strong St Olave’s team was unsurprising, but there were some excellent matches otherwise, particularly in the shoot-out victory against Terrington. Well played to the squad of Henry Palmer, Henry Bayston, Oli Scutt, Charlie Laudage, Harry Kneeshaw, Theo Rowe and Will Dare. TML
