CRAIG HOUSE REPORT

By Jamie Gordon

It has been another successful half term in Craig House and there is a happy feeling throughout the house in the lead-up to a well-deserved Easter break.

Craig boys continue to dominate on the sports fields, with Josh Ansell, Sam Bordass and Matteo Chu both playing in the 1st XI hockey’s dominant win over rivals Hurst recently

Furthermore six Year 9 Craig boys were a part of the U14A boys' hockey squad, who recently became county champions

Very recently, Craig put out two teams into House water polo. The Year 9s and 10s team were sensational and won both their matches, with Jax Putland's hattrick in both games being a standout highlight. The senior team disappointingly lost 3-0 to Gonville in their first game, but against Pennell they seemed to find their feet (pun not intended) and this match ended in a more positive result of a 1-1 draw

On and off the sports pitches, Craig boys have been showing their talents Oliver Shouksmith recently performed an excellent solo trombone recital, alongside his A-level commitments Alex Bailey and Struan Dunlop took part in the IEA budget challenge, progressing to the finals where they will present their budget proposition at the IEA headquarters in London Finally, the annual inter-house chess competition is upon us again, and this year ’ s team is looking to dominate the competition with newly appointed captain Matteo Chu.
