5 Swimming

Colts: Altogether sixteen junior matches were played. Apart from James Kelsey, who was beaten only once in Ul 5 matches, the actual results of those who played for the Colts' teams were not outstanding. However the U15 team contained at least three U14 players on every occasion, and if the players continue to put in the necessary time on court they will capitalise on the undoubted potential present. The U14 team lost only once, and gained five good wins.

The following represented the School at U15 or U14 level: J. Kelsey, M. Stephenson, S. Powell, J. Stephenson, J. Higginson, S. Slater, J. Harding, J. Rigby, J. Bartle, N. Dawkins.

House Matches

The Manor team, with three of the School's first team squad, were always strong favourites for the trophy, and eventually beat a talented, but not practised, Rise side 4-1 in the Final. Their closest call was against Grove in the Semi-Finals, where the match was only just won 3-2. Manor, led by James Kelsey, also won the Junior event, beating Dronfield 2-1 in the Final.

Individual Competition

After some excellent Quarter-Finals and Semi-Finals, notably that between the number 2 and 3 seeds, Dominic Clavell and Nigel Muirhead, Dominic played the top seed and holder for the two previous years, Peter Allan, in the Final. In the event, despite good retrieving at times by Dominic, Peter completed his hat-trick of victories without being quite fully extended.

Swimming

As the numbers of good swimmers available to compete for the School diminishes, so do our inter-school matches. We participated at both levels in the John Parry Relays at Sedbergh and the Seniors went to the Public Schools Relays in London, as usual.

We swam against Pocklington School at home, winning the U15 age group 44-32 but losing at Senior level 50-59. Against Worksop College away we lost both U16 and Senior age groups 38-51 and 35-54 respectively. J.A.O.B.
