The Prep School soccer boys won three and drew one of their five games, ending with an exceptional 6-0 win over St Martins club, while the netballers won every game, and showed great skill. The hockey team found the going tough, but performed very creditably, including a win over a club side. Well done, boys and girls - a experience and memory to treasure for many years!
