Rugby

The rugby this term has been so exciting, most notably at the senior level.

The 2nd XV are still undefeated after some outstanding performances. They will be severely tested this afternoon against Ludgrove but I am sure that with the spirit they have shown thus far they can do it.

The 1st XV have also been terrifically successful. Last Wednesday they notched up an impressive win against Horris Hill and on Saturday took on Woodcote who had beaten them early in the season. In what was a very close encounter, Sunningdale emerged victorious by 26 points to 21!!!! It was a terrific performance and they all deserve huge credit.

Update

First of all an apology. I have been hopeless at updating the blog this term and I will try to do better.

We are thick in scholarship season at the moment. Two boys have already been successful, one with an art scholarship to Tonbridge and one with an academic scholarship to Stowe. We are waiting on other news and two more boys still have to sit their scholarships. Fingers crossed for a record haul!

Operation Archie

Earlier this term the boys raised money to help send a little boy to America to have a life-changing operation to combat the effects of cerebral palsy.

Today we received the most up to date total and with the aid of Gift Aid we have managed to raise £19,040. This is an astonishing amount and I am very proud of the boys for making such an effort to make this happen.

Archie has just had the first major operation and I am delighted that all seems to have gone well. You can follow Archie's blog here: http://www.operationarchie.com/2012/02/day-of-surgery-update/
