the Door, don't be afraid. A blue horizon could be waiting on the other side'.

I will sign-off now as Housemaster of The Grove by thanking all members of the Grove (past and present) for the commitment and camaraderie that they have generously shown during the last four years. I am also greatly indebted to the house tutors of the Grove for their tremendous support and hard work.

House Reports

Lilton At the start of the year Linton welcomed Mr and Mrs Doyle, Siwan and Betsan to the house alongside Mr Owen. We all quickly adjusted to the new boss and at the same time tried to make the 7 new third years, 3 new lower sixth and one new live in house assistant feel welcome and were successful as the start of the year went smoothly.

In the winter term the main impetus of the house was put into Inter -house sevens. We went into the senior competition uncertain what to expect from the team. Lead by Richard Wilson the team consisting of IstXV, 2ndXV, 3rd XV, and U16a'sall of whom were capable of playing a good game. Despite this abundance of talent we failed to qualify from our group, with James Bennett starring. Next were the juniors, starting in a hard group they were unlucky not to qualify from their group losing to the eventual winners.

They couldn't overcome the opposition even with Miles Baker and Tom Woolsey's expert coaching, which consisted mainly of shouting and jeering at the opposition.

The house dinner, at the end of the term, was the highlight of the term if not the year. The evening started with social drinks with the upper sixth starting as they meant to go on. At the end of the meal the speeches started. Tom Atkinson gave a very entertaining speech giving out prizes to

house members such as the 'Sharon and Tracy1 award for Josh Bennett and the 'Kiss and tell stories of a window cleaner' for James Craven. Mr Owen also seemed to enjoy himself and was presented with a blow up doll and lots of beer. The Doyles were presented with a series of presents most notably a bright pink jacket for Mr Doyle so that he could walk the 100m to school instead of driving. The bestdressed award went to Richard Wilson who was turned out in a Scottish kilt.

The end of the dinner signalled the end of term and the Christmas holiday.

At the start of Easter term many exams dampened the mood of the house. The Great Egg Race gave a welcome release with the united effort and teamwork under Mike Heywood's leadership: we still missed first place! The team had a competent start with the construction, but the lack of Physics knowledge/natural ability of Dominic Jameson caused the disappointment!! The Egg Race was merely a stepping-stone to greater heights as with the Easter term came hockey. With 3 representatives in the 1st XI including both captain Richard Wilson and vice-captain Michael Arkley, the inter house competition turned to a total annihilation of any one that stood in the way of the dominant Linton. Obviously Linton won the competition giving the first success of the year.

Certain charity events were being organized within the school and the most obviously a sponsored run at school in which every member of Linton took part. Also many members of Linton were involved in the Beverley 10K not necessarily anywhere near the front.

The Manor

This running spree lead on well to Sports day where there was a good team spirit. Notable victories occurred for JP Potter in the senior shot-putt, Mathew Thomas- Peter in the 800m and Jason Burton in the 100m and 400m. Less noticeable was the 3000m performance of Tobi Robinson!

Sadly the end of the year saw the departure of Mr and Mrs Doyle, Siwan and Betsan. The house had been a very happy place over the year and both boys and parents were sad to see them and Mr Owen depart. All those in Linton would want to thank them for their efforts and help and to wish them all for the future.

House reports are always a very partial memory of a year full of endeavour, achievement, sport, drama, music and many less publishable events.

The summer term seems ever more to be dominated by the god of exams.

The boys in the house approached these with some trepidation, a little nervous excitement and a great deal of resignation. In this respect we seem to be ignoring the fact that examination success is not the be all and end all of a career at St. Peter's. It is to the huge credit of all the pupils in the house that they have managed to provide over thirty team rugby players from U14 B to 1st. XV, fourteen full time rowers , a full contingent of members of the CCF , cricketers, hockey players from U14 to 1st. XI. In addition those who helped with the debating and science societies , egg race, house teams, Community Service and Drama. I hope very much that all members of the house can find their niche in the school and gain as much from their time here as possible. However I suspect that real support

from both home and school will be ever more necessary in the years to come if league tables and examination success are not to become the only marker for success at school.

The leavers this year and their parents have given tremendous support to the house . It was splendid to see Will Battye in the school play, Alex Burckhardt working at CPS, Jonny Fort coaching rugby, representing the 2nd XI cricket, winning both talent show and Community Service prizes.

Danny Greening gaining his excellent A level results, Charlie Hazelrigg representing the school in Hockey, cricket and CCF teams as well as his academic performances, Peter Henwood as school monitor and team member in both hockey and cricket. ON Hinchliffe producing such pleasing results alongside his real care of younger members of the house, Tom Leung as an academic, rugby player and rower, Rodger Lovel as a full time rower for three years, Liam McGuigan as a witty and individual member of the community. James Walker from French prize winner to 1st. XV colours, from rowing to CCF and finally Matthew Welsh who remained his own man gaining outstanding academic results as well as representing the 1st. XV and playing in the school orchestra.

Many others are deserving of mention (excluding the disastrous egg race team!), however space dictates that I can only give a flavour of other events. It was tremendous to see Tobias Burckhardt, Ben Noble, Peter Townson, David Hughes, Marcus Keatinge, Carl Burton and Richard Thomas taking part in the senior and middle school plays. Joseph Tang winning his IVth year prize, Chris Wright, Dominic Cross and Richard Lum's splendid efforts on sports day. However it was Ben Russell's performance on the same day that is deserving of mention along side these winning efforts.

The overall success of the boys in the rowing club and specifically Philip

Walton and his appointment as next year's Captain of Boats.

Congratulations should also go to Ben Ward as next year's Head of house and Stephen Pike as next year's Head of School, I wish both all good luck in their respective positions.

It was also tremendous to welcome our visitor from Selborne College again this year and as ever Jonathan Viedge proved an outstanding ambassador for both school and country and also a splendid speaker at both house dinner and assembly. It was also good to see Nick Devlin set off in July for his exchange at Selborne.

I would conclude by thanking Mike Painter, David Hughes, John 0-B as tutors and Mike Hall and Stuart Howman as assistants, without their efforts the job would not be possible. We welcome Mr Bradley Owen as our new resident assistant.

Both Liz and I would also like to give special thanks to Jonny for his splendid stint as Head of House and to all the house for their care of our children. However I cannot end without saying that all of the above is put fully into perspective by the efforts of Stephen Davis over the past eighteen months. His exam results and success in the rowing club are outstanding testament to his personal courage and determination.

Queen's The applause which greeted the many members of Queen's at Commemoration this year as they collected their prizes was yet again proof that a lot of hard work does get done, just about making up for the fact that we were pipped at the post for the Merit Cup despite the stalwart efforts of the new third formers, and Richard Walkland in particular.

Individual success has been remarkable throughout the year - we have been delighted to congratulate so many of our house on numerous occasions, from James Brown's beautiful reading in the Minster, to Rachael Saxon and Claire Hunt entertaining us at the Christmas concert. Rachael was also impressive on stage in her moving interpretation of Cordelia in King Lear. Queen's was especially proud to watch our very own Ian Lowe star in this, his final and absolutely breathtaking production.

Chloe Johnson was brilliant in Dear Brutus and she and Jayne Milburn made very convincing fairies as part of Rudolph's team in the Christmas appeal, appearing on Yorkshire Television, no less. Music, too, has been a great strength in Queen's this year, with very large numbers involved in the choirs and musical groups. Special mention must go to Charlie StricklandConstable, Sarah Hayward, Maneka Braganza and Rose StricklandConstable - it would be very difficult to find a musical event over the year in which they haven't performed!

The trophy shelf in Queen's is looking very healthy. The Great Egg Race brought us, at least, the coveted first prize for our planes, thanks to the aerodynamic wizardry of Robin Johnson, Charlie Strickland-Constable, Tom Snowball, Tom Fife and superb leadership of captain Jonathan MacGregor. Sports Day brought for the second year running the boy's interhouse athletics shield back to Queen's. Everyone really pulled out the stops on the day showing once again that participation and team spirit are ever present in the house. We must single out for exceptional performance the names of Jonathan MacGregor, Rob Hayward and Joss Spilman superb athletic achievements. Katie Mellor has shown great

The Peterite 2001-2002

prowess all year on the athletics field, beginning the first term with a superb win in the interhouse cross country. The Boat Club's numbers have been swelled by many enthusiastic Queen's pupils, with Alex Kerrison qualifying for Henley at the end of term. We were as a house thrilled to cheer on no fewer than six Queen's pupils in the victorious Daily Mail squad at Twickenham and our cricketers this season have had some impressive successes - congratulations go to Peter Wackett, Tom Bartram, James Wackett and especially to James Taylor for his fine captaincy of the school 1st. XI. Social activity has been high on the agenda, never more so than at the informal breakfast parties organised by the fourth form during the World Cup - fifty bacon sandwiches ready to serve at half time - not bad going

The Rise The dynamics of the house changed greatly in September. Six new girls came into the Third Year and a completely new Lower Sixth. Thanks must go to Nicky Robertson and Helen Hildebrand for making their first few weeks relatively straightforward.

Many girls took advice from their peers and got involved in school activities beyond the classroom. As the year progressed and academic pressures increased, it became clear that these releases were necessary not only to broaden interests, but also to sustain and develop good relations between each other.

with only one frying pan and two toasters! A record number of Queen's pupils have taken part in Community Service this year, CCF membership has thrived, and the Duke of Edinburgh expedition (part from Queen's) virtually needed it's own coach.

All this, and still we found time to work for exams. The house has flourished under the fantastic support of a lively team of tutors and my thanks go to Mr Lowe, Mr Lancaster, Mr Duffy, Miss Moore and Mr Wright for Our hopes of last year that The Rise was on the cusp of reaching sporting excellence were (to some extent) borne out in several school and interhouse events during the year. Actual success came second to enthusiasm, but there were several notable performances. Emma Farquharson and Hannah Marsh soon established themselves as key players in the 1st. and 2nd hockey teams the UlG's were helped along by Sophie Binnsand Emily Cogbill. In the U15's, Betony Lloyd and Sarah Welsh were regular contributors and Rachel Mayne, Ruth Wheeler, Ruth Craven and Kirstie Dallas were all equally prolific in the UH's.

The Inter-House Cross Country saw practically the whole House compete.

There were notable performances from Nicky Robertson and Rachel Mayne, but overall our efforts were not sufficient to bring home the cups.

their encouragement and enthusiasm. We all owe a great deal to James Taylor for his patience, forbearance and unstinting commitment as Head of House, and to Maneka Braganza and Joss Spilman as his bodyguards. To our leavers we wish the very best of health and happiness in the future, and we know that Queen's will continue to flourish under the joint leadership of James Brown and Tessa Marsden.

Nicky Robertson and Susan Wilkinson continued to represent the school in the Boat Club and Laura Binks and Hannah Thomas proved their worth in the swimming pool. Liz Brotheridge's reputation as a formidable racket sports player saw her represent the school in squash, with added support from Sophie Milnes Coates. Sadly they were unavailable for the InterHouse badminton. In a cut-throat clash of shuttlecocks and rackets we had to settle for sixth place.

Mary-Lou Mathie, our guest from South Africa, joined The Rise for the second half of the term. She made the most of the opportunities on offer and

The Peterite 2001-2002

enjoyed the house dinner, including the obligatory profiteroles and a rather sparkling rendition of Betony's Bat Story, which to save embarrassment cannot be printed Most girls were occupied on the netball court during the Easter Term, again we were well represented in the U14's and U15's and also in the 2nd and 3rd by Emma Farquharson, Eleanor Hanna and Hannah Marsh. We put up a good fight in the Inter-House competitions, with accurate shooting from Betony Lloyd and a solid all-round performance from Hannah Thomas for the juniors. Eleanor Hanna organised an efficient senior team with admirable contributions from Emma Farquharson and Sophie Binns.

Once again enthusiasm outweighed actual success. True also of the Inter-House swimming; Emily Cogbill proved her worth as an all round athlete by winning much needed points in several events, but overall we had to settle for sixth place.

The Talent Show and The Egg Race brought other people out of the woodwork. Susan 'Shirley Bassey' Wilkinson was truly a sight to behold as she crooned through a wonderful rendition of 'Hey Big Spender'.

This was a real achievement for Susan and a memorable performance for the rest of us. The Egg Race challenge was to construct and fly a balsa wood aeroplane. Our teams tried hard, but none should consider careers with British Aerospace!

The Summer Term saw the House welcome two new 'inmates'; Sorrel and Rosie Gaunt joined the third form and soon settled into the academic and game programes. Their efforts were certainly appreciated in the Inter-House rounders. The Rise won all their games, to win the competition easily. A superb performance, particularly from Sarah Welsh for her batting and Rachel Mayne for such aggressive and accurate bowling.

Success was never far away in the house tennis: Eleanor Hanna, Liz Brotheridge, Nicky Robertson, Emma Farquharson, Hannah Marsh and Rachel Mayne performed well throughout, only to lose in the final to a formidable Temple team. Liz and Emma also deserve praise for their regular contributions to school tennis. Emily Cogbill, Sophie Binns and Hannah Thomas competed successfully on Sports Day in the 100m, long jump and shot respectively. No records were broken in the house, but Ming Li's 1500m race deserves a mention for sheer endurance.

A highlight of the term was the Beverley 10k run.

Eleanor Hanna, Sophie Milnes Coates, Emma Farquharson and Mrs Hall joined over a hundred other St. Peter's staff and pupils to run the six miles or so round the outskirts of Beverley. Much fun was had and a great deal of money was raised for Cancer Research at York University. It was particularly encouraging to see girls train for the event, which provided a welcome relief from the strains of public examinations, which seem to

The Peterite 2001-2002

have gone on forever.

This year has seen commendable performances on the games field, but the diverse range of talents within the house is as apparent as ever. Clearly individuals are determined not to see school life as purely a means to gaining academic qualifications. Being awarded the Merit Cup and winning a most successful It's a Knockout Competition on the same day is testimony to this healthy philosophy. Over half the house have been loyal supporters of the school choir. This year's middle school play benefited from the efforts of Kirstie Dallas and Rachel Mayne and Hannah Marsh's performance as crucifer at Commemoration was carried out with as much poise and respect as the role deserved.

My thanks go to the assistants and tutors for their hard work and long hours, particularly to Ruth Hockenhull, who has worked tirelessly and successfully with the third year and of course to Elisabeth Ellis, who after four years leaves The Rise to take charge of The Grove. We wish her well. Thanks to Nicky Robertson, for her efforts' as Head of House, and to Eleanor Hanna for coping with and training up the third year. Finally, good luck to Emma Farquharson, Head of House, for next year.

House Reports

With the large intake of 17 into the 3rd form, plus 4 pupils new into the Lower Sixth, School House swelled to 67 pupils. Jeremy Rose was Head of House and, along with Indraneil Basu, was appointed a School Monitor.

The first Inter House event arrived quickly in the form of the senior 7's.

Deprived through injury of the pace of Indraneil, the squad was made up almost entirely of forwards, not perhaps the ideal combination for 7's.

In March, the task for the Great Egg Race Team of Indraneil Basu, Nourah Ma'aye, Jo Simpson, Matthew Mikola, Greg Steel and Emma Hammill was to 'construct a model plane and fly it further than the enemy'. After many hours of cutting and sticking, the great launch saw our magnificent machine travel further than most, eventually landing in 3rd position behind the winners Queens.

Although the senior girls struggled, the junior girls did tremendously well to finish 3rd in the netball competition. This was followed a week later by the senior boys hockey. This year, the format was 5 aside, indoors. After an emphatic and wholly satisfying 3-0 victory over Temple, there followed an epic semi-final against a strong Clifton side. At full time, the score somehow remained at 0-0, but School went through 3-2 on short corners won.

The Linton side that we played in the final were outstanding, and quite deservedly won 4-0 in a one-sided contest, but the squad of Jonathan Doyle in goal, Raymond Janes, Michael Bradshaw, Rob Storer, Tom Edwards, Richard Kiveal, David Hanby and captain Jeremy Rose did themselves proud.

The girls swimming team finished a magnificent 2nd behind the runaway winners Temple. Our points were scored entirely by 3rd and 4th form girls, which must bode well for the future. Special mention must go to Sally Henderson, who broke 2 school records, but two 2nd places in the relays show the strength in depth.

Victory over Manor 2 and some tremendous tackling against Queens and Grove were not enough to secure a semi-final spot.

The girls' first chance to represent the House came in October in the Crosscountry. The seniors came a creditable 4th, with Anna Greenwood, Natalie Baldry and Jo Simpson all in the top 20, but the junior girls excelled.

Emma Hammill was 2nd, and with Julia Miller, Sally Henderson and Kate Ashworth finishing 6th, 7th and 8th,.we finished a desperately close 2nd overall to Temple. The format is such that every runner counts, so my thanks go also to all of the other junior girls who ran so well.

The girls badminton competition was an open age group event, so our team of Katie Dabbs, Danielle Buckley, Sally Henderson and Tori Janes were never going to find it easy. A solitary victory over The Rise meant 7th place, but much valuable experience gained for the coming years !

It was a great pleasure to see girls from all years in the House pull together in the Hockey competition. Enthusiastically captained by Anna Greenwood, the girls conceded just 1 goal in the 6 matches.

Unfortunately, the lack of a 'cutting edge' meant that we didn't score any !, so despite 5 drawn matches out of 6, we finished 6th overall.

With the tremendous success of the school's Under 15 rugby team, of which Mark Jagger, James Pang and Joe Bucklow were members, the junior 7's competition was organised minus the Under 15A squad players. Our remaining 4th year rugby player, Peter Horwell, joined with 9 3rd formers to win the group, beating Queens, Clifton and Grove. A semi-final defeat against Temple was no disgrace.

Sports Day was for once blessed with fine weather, and School House responded with some tremendous performances. In the girls competition, Emma Hammill, Kate Ashworth, Julia Miller, Sally Henderson, Rebecca Gill and Anna Greenwood all scored well, whilst for the boys, Michael Down, James Pang, Dan Janes, Tom Edwards, Will Eastwood and James Sugden were amongst the highest points scorers. There was a tremendously refreshing willingness to represent the House in all of the events, even some of the traditionally less favoured events. As has been the case in the past, failure to score points in the relays cost us dear, eventually finishing 4th in the boys event and 5th in the girls, having been well placed all afternoon.

In the closing weeks of the Summer term, Mr Johnston organised a cricket competition for the 3rd form. After victory over the Manor, Stuart Everard and captain Michael Down guided us to an impressive semi-final victory over Queens. Unfortunately, Temple proved too strong in the final, but all of the boys contributed magnificently.

Temple On the same afternoon, the junior girls rounders competition took place.

After an opening defeat against The Rise, Tori Janes's enthusiasm lead the girls to 3 wins and a draw in the next 5 games, eventually finishing 4th.

Members of the House have continued to participate and succeed in the many diverse activities that make St. Peter's the school that it is. Brook Adams and Richard Kiveal both read well during the Eucharist Service, Phoebe Harrison performed tremendously in a successful Middle School Play, and Danielle Buckley, Sarah Waugh and James Pang all undertook a Duke of Edinburgh Expedition. The many musicians in the House contin-

ued to perform to a high standard, both in school concerts and examinations, highlights including grade 6 passes by Simon Wallis and Sally Henderson.

Natalie Baldry's rowing success went from strength to strength, and during the Summer, she will attend final Great Britain Trials, for which we of course all wish her well.

Academic Prizewinners in the House were Jeremy Rose (Physics), Katherine Morris (Theology), Harriet Julian (Art), Tom Edwards (Geography), Richard Kiveal (Classics) and Kate Ashworth (Academic Merit). House colours were awarded to Sally Henderson and Rob Storer. Congratulations to them all.

The House will grow again next year to 76 pupils, and we will acquire a new common room in the old Art Department. Mr Jones will leave the House, but I am delighted that Mrs Wike will be joining School as a tutor.

I know from my own experience of working with her in Clifton what a tremendous asset she will be. Perhaps more than ever this year, I have found the support of the tutors invaluable during some hectic times, and I thank them all. My job would simply not be manageable without their help. Jeremy has been a calm and incredibly efficient Head of House, and to him too, my thanks.

As every day seems manic up in Temple (including walking up and down over five million steps over the year) it is always a pleasant surprise when I look over the numerous achievements that everyone has made since last September. For there indeed are many - and how people have made time to do some work as well is even more impressive. The vast majority of reports that I have read through have been outstanding and particular congratulations should go to our ten prize-winners: Penny Boxall, Sally McLaren, Martin Smallpage, Sarah Stefanini, Duncan Downes, Jenny Ashley, Alex Porte, Clare Fletcher, Simon Austin and Georgie Aeons.

This year we say goodbye to three absolute stalwarts of Girls' Sport: Jenny Ashley, Clare Fletcher and Georgie Aeons. Since they have been here they have taken part in winning the following: Third year - Netball, Swimming; Fourth year - Netball, Cross Country, Badminton, Swimming; Fifth year Hockey, Swimming, Badminton; Lower Sixth - Swimming, Squash, Tennis, Netball, Cross Country; Upper Sixth - Swimming, Squash, Hockey, Athletics, Tennis, Netball. These, remember are the competitions they have

won, they have been runners up in many others. The Cambridge Cup has been won for the five years that they have been here and Jenny Ashley was awarded the Shuttleworth cup for outstanding contribution to Girls' Sport. Notice that all three were prize-winners and their incredible contribution to the House and the School will be sorely missed. Lucy Holiday has continued to be very successful in her Horse-Riding, the highlight being an article about her performances in the Horse and Hound, and who can forget her performance in the 200m where she won with ease.

achievements of the lower year groups. Swimming is a particularly strong discipline: Jenny Hoggard was Yorkshire Champion in three events and is ranked number two in Great Britain's U17 Girls.

She obtained a new School record in the interhouse competition as did Jenny Ashley, Lauren Walker, Fleur Keith and our senior medley and freestyle relay teams (J.Ashley, J.Hoggard, S.Kinnell, F.Keith). The following girls were also winners: Bryony Pring, Pamela Kinnell, Georgie Duke and needless to say we were the walk away winners with nearly three times as many points as School House in second place! We came first in the senior and junior netball (despite being one player down for most of the time), second in rounders, first in hockey, second in badminton, second in senior cross country (Anna Clarke came second, Jenny Ashley came fifth and Georgie Johnston came seventh) and first in junior cross country (Lauren Walker came third), first in both senior and junior tennis and first in athletics (Jenny Ashley won the 800m and javelin, Georgie Duke won the high jump, Lauren Walker won the 300m, Lucy Holliday won the 200m and we won the junior relay). Georgie Duke and Sally McLaren are representing Yorkshire in tennis. Every single girl in the House has taken part in the competitions and the team spirit they have generated has been incredible.

We have some superb sportsmen as well. Daniel Lloyd was captain of the first fifteen and played rugby for Yorkshire. Steven Emmerson was head of swimming, and Alex Porte was captain of the second fifteen. The vast majority of the boys in Temple have played in School Teams, which makes for a very quiet Saturday roll time! Particular credit should go to Joe Shepherd, Ben Hough, Ali Macleod, David Heaton and Sam Macbeth for winning county places in various sports this year (sorry if I have missed any). Tom Hilling and David Heaton both won century ties and Ed Taylor, Tom Main and Ben Hough were all stalwart members of the first eleven.

Not to outdo Jenny Ashley, Tom Main won the Shuttleworth cup for outstanding achievement to boys' sport.

In the inter-house competitions we came second in junior rugby sevens in a thrilling final with Manor, second in athletics (David Heaton won junior discuss, Martin Smallpage won high jump, Matthew Spalding won the 400m, Tom Janes won 1500m, and we won both the intermediate and senior relays - the highlight for me, however, was Alex Shone's brave performance in the 3000m) and first in the cricket (despite all of our county players not being available for the first match). Ali Macleod, Eddie Hilling, Ben Hough, Rory Robertson and Andy Slingsby were in the victorious Daily Mail team. As for the girls, nearly every boy in Temple has taken part in the competitions and their contribution has been very much appreciated.

Our Musicians have been very active too. Simon Austin won competition and was head of wind band. He was a member of popular barbershop group and his enthusiastic approach will missed. Many other Templites have contributed a great deal

the brass the everbe sorely to school

music - often working in the background but giving many hours of their very full lives to producing excellent performances.

Emily Adam, Duncan Downes and David Heaton have all been very prominent in the Drama (see the reviews elsewhere) and Fleur Keith achieved Honours in grade seven ballet. Members of the House were heavily involved in the talent show and Alex Brandon-Davies and Joe Venables continue to thrive with their prospective bands. Joe Shepherd and ON Duke played in the National Youth Orchestra (Joe on trombone and ON on flute) - or so they tell me anyway!

Temple is a very special place. Everyone is very busy for most of the time but the time that they have spent in creating a friendly and caring atmosphere in the corridor is staggering. We had quite a difficult and stressful time in the Easter term and I relied heavily on the House spirit and the qualities present in our upper sixth. They didn't let me down and my particular and heartfelt thanks goes to the Head of House, Simon Austin who has shown a commitment and loyalty to the House spirit It is not a coincidence, I think, that the two past Head Girls (Georgie Aeons and Katherine Downes) have been Templites and, although they won't be in Temple next year, both Head Boy and Head Girl were both in Temple for their first three years here. I wish our upper sixth every success in the future (particularly our three Oxbride candidates) and they have been a tremendous year.

I congratulate Anna Clarke on being made next year's Head of House and Duncan Downes and Joe Shepherd for their appointments as School Monitors. By the time you read this, there will be many more achievements made, which will have to wait to be written about in next year's report.

Boat Club CHRISTMAS TERM Wear Long Distance Sculls York Sprint Regatta was cancelled this term due to dangerous river conditions, so our first event of the season was on the River Wear. Five scullers travelled up to Durham to race. No outright wins were achieved, but Alexander Kerrison came third in the Novice Sculls, only 6 seconds behind the winner. He was closely followed by fifth former Daniel Janes.

Ancholme Head The whole squad travelled to Humberside and for some it was their first ever race. Despite training interruptions in recent weeks a number of good performances were achieved in sculling boats. Wins also for: Men's Junior 16 Coxed Four: J. MacKenzie, N. Devlin, T. Wright, D. Clark, 0. Suckling (cox) Women's Novice Coxed Four: S. Hayward, H. Lloyd, S. Wood, N. Johnson, M. Mikola (cox) Dee Autumn Head Chester was a chance for the Senior boys to try out new combinations in Double Sculls. Strong competition from the juniors at Royal Chester RC pushed our boats back into second place, though the racing gave our crews targets to aim for this season.

Tees Long Distance Sculls The Senior boys entered three Doubles Sculls, taking the first three places ahead of two Yarm School boats. Alexander Kerrison and William Eastwood were in the winning boat, clocking a time of 22 minutes 23 seconds.

Northwich Autumn Head The girls' squad competed in a Coxed Four, winning the Senior IV event easily over a crew from Royal Chester RC: Women's Senior IV Coxed Four: K. Millar, J. Simpson, S. Fishley, N. Baldry, A. Kirkman (cox) York Small Boats Head Four hundred crews arrived from around the region to race the five kilometre course. The weather was excellent and St Peter's were able to field

over twenty boats. The Girls' came out top with wins in Coxed Fours (Junior 18 and Junior 16) and Coxed Quads (Junior 16).

Head of the Float, Liverpool A successful day for all concerned. The girls' Eights dominated the racing, winning the Senior IV and Senior III events, as well as Head of the River for the fastest women's crew. There was also a win for the Coxed Quad who overcame competition from Victoria Rowing Club and The Grange School: Men's Junior 16 Coxed Quad: D. Janes, A. Peeroo, R. Harrison, J. MacKenzie, I. Dawson (cox) Newark Head Thick fog caused the cancellation of the last division so we were only able to field four sculling boats. One win was gained in the Men's Novice Double Sculls by Philip Walton and Tobias Robinson.

EASTER TERM Boston Head Boston provided an excellent start to the term. Natalie Baldry won the Senior IV Single Sculls, beating a girl from Lady Eleanor Holies School. The promising pairing of Alexander Kerrison and Daniel Janes were the fastest Double Scull at the Head, and completed the course in twelve and a half minutes.

Schools' Head of the River, London High river levels had caused a halt to our training on the Ouse for weeks.

However, we were able to field three eights and two fours on the Thames.

The Schools' Head is a national event and the competition can be exceptional. Good performances were achieved by the J16 boys' Eight which came 10th out of 17 (sixteen seconds ahead of our own 1st eight!), and the senior girls' Coxed Four which was 9th out of 17 boats.

Yorkshire Head The Yorkshire Head provided us with the opportunity to field our top boats against regional competition. St Peter's dominated the Men's Eights, winning both Senior 4 and Novice races, ahead of rivals Yarm School and

beat Sir John Deanes College by 6_ lengths in a straight final.

Poplar Regatta The Senior Quad continued to travel the country in search of races and competed in an outstanding race at the Royal Albert Dock in London. The five boat final was won by King's College, Wimbledon, with our boat taking second place - just ahead of a well-drilled crew from Tideway Scullers.

National Schools' Regatta National Schools' this year saw us enter four events. Despite commitments to exams, the crews had trained hard and the results speak for themselves: Natalie Baldry cruised through the semi-finals, coming 6th overall in Championship Sculls. The senior girls' Four gained a place in the final, coming 6th behind some strong crews. The J16 Eight produced one of our best ever performances here in Eights, rowing past Shrewsbury, St Paul's and Abingdon Schools to gain Silver medal behind King's School, Worcester.

Docklands Regatta, London crews from Sheffield and Durham Universities.

North of England Head, Chester Three boys eights and one women's eight entered. The Girls won easily in the Junior event, but the boys eights struggled against well-drilled crews from Shrewsbury and King's, Chester.

Tideway Head of the River, London One boys' Eight entered this international event on the Thames again this year. We started in 308th out of 408 boats, to finish a satisfactory 259th in a time of 20 minutes 13.07 seconds. The winners were Leander Club (17_ minutes) with messers Cracknell and Pinsent providing the power in the middle of the boat.

Northwich Spring Head Natalie Baldry joined her rival Caroline Jones from York City RC to race in a Double Scull at Chester. They produced a comfortable win over one minute ahead of their nearest rivals.

SUMMER TERM York Spring Regatta The regatta season kicked off with a large and enthusiastic entry from St Peter's. The 1st eight triumphed over Yarm School by 2 lengths, and the senior girls' Four won easily: Men's Junior 18 Eight: S. Caley, J. Butterworth, I. Basu, S. Pike, T. Pring, J. Walker, J. Shepherd, M. Suggit, I. Dawson (cox) Women's Senior IV Coxed Four: K. Miller, J. Simpson, S. Fishley, G. Johnston, A. Kirkman (cox)

Despite their disappointment of not making the final at National Schools' the Senior boys' Quad travelled to London to row a straight five boat final.

Leander and Windsor Boys' set a blistering pace from the start, and we finished a satisfactory 4th.

Loughborough Regatta Returning to Holme Pierpont in Nottingham we raced a number of events against experienced veteran crews. We won three races: Men's Junior 18 Coxless Quad: S. Emmerson. D. Janes, W. Eastwood, A. Kerrison Women's Senior IV Single Scull: N. Baldry Women's Senior IV Coxed Four: K. Miller, J. Simpson, S. Fishley, G. Johnston, A. Kirkman (cox) York Summer Regatta York Summer was a chance for the entire club to race at home. Well over 90 pupils competed in over 50 rounds of racing. We had nine wins: Men's Senior IV Eight: P. Walton, B. Noble, J. MacKenzie, J. Bennett, R. Harrison, A. Peeroo, A. Black, D. Clark, J. Lewis (cox) Men's Novice Eight: N. Howard, S. Bell, A. Mellor, L Wheeler, M. Miller, D. Watt, T.

Nottingham City Regatta The senior boys', racing in the new Coxless Quad, came second behind a crew from King's School, Chester. Natalie Baldry struggled in the competitive Senior 1 final against an experienced set of women scullers.

Durham City Regatta The promising 5th form boys eight battled hard against a number of Durham University Colleges to take the Novice title. The girls' Coxed Four rowed well all day only to lose narrowly in the final to a stronger crew.

Men's Novice Eight: P. Walton, B. Noble, J. MacKenzie, J. Bennett, R. Harrison, A. Peeroo, A. Black, D. Clark, M. Mikola (cox) Bradford Spring Regatta Three girls boats raced at Bradford this year. The sixth form Coxed Four The Peterite 2001-2002

SUMMARY

National Rowing Championships Training continued during the summer holidays, and five crews raced over three days at the National Championships in Nottingham. The six-lane eliminator rounds were on Friday, and all our crews progressed comfortably through to the next day: Friday: D.Janes (J16 Scull) 2nd S. Emmerson (J18 Scull) 1st N. Baldry (J18 Scull) 2nd

This year the Boat Club has produced a number of highly competitive crews who have won a string of races around the country. During the summer months our numbers swelled to 104 training regularly on the Ouse. Our fleet has continued to expand this year, with the addition of a new Concept II Ergometer, two Double Sculls ('Gill Ward' and 'Julie Mellor'), and a Coxless Quadruple Scull ('Helen Austin'). We would not have been able to do this without the generous support of St Peter's School, Guy Fawkes Boat Club, The Andersen Foundation, the Porte family, the Austin family, the Swap Shop, and the Friends' of St Peter's.

On the coaching side, John Ward has given up a great deal of time to bring along the senior boys squad. The 1st Eight failed to produce a regular committed crew this year, but a successful group of able scullers based around the Coxless Quad produced an encouraging list of results.

Elisabeth Ellis, Maurice Monteith and David Hughes worked hard with the new intake of beginners. Their patience and dedication paid off with a number of good individual performances at York Summer Regatta. Martin Lawrence helped with the experienced fourth and fifth form boys, playing a part in the success of the J16 Eight at Nottingham.

Finally, thanks go to the Captains, Katie Miller and Indraneil Basu.

Good luck to next year's Captains, Georgina Johnston and Philip Walton.

reputation as a true all-rounder as he put in some great performances at virtually every position in the back line, and Main became the cornerstone of the defence with his hallmark crunching tackles and hard-running in the centres. Harry Simpson always threatened in attack as befits a player who had earned a starting spot in the Yorkshire U18 Schools side.

Good team performances occurred throughout the season but my standout game was against Woodhouse Grove - not a match we won but without a doubt a match in which the team performed to its best. No player on their day gave anything other than their utmost and the opposition coach was brimming with praise for the way our lads performed. In fact if I were to summarise the season I would state that this side worked harder and, as a result of heart and endeavour, got closer to its potential than any side I have coached.

One player who hardly played all season due to injury, Jonny Fort, exemplifies all that this team stood for. He gave it everything on the pitch, was our staunchest supporter off it and when there was no match to play in or spectate at he would volunteer to help coach the U 16s. Wonderful stuff.

You can only ask that a team gives of their best and I am very proud to say that these lads certainly did that.

Game on really did mean game on to them.

To look at the results of the season, one might think that it was not a good year for St. Peter's School rugby, yet this is far from the truth. True, it was not a winning season, but the nature of the way this team played and the tenacity with which the boys approached the game is not reflected in the win/loss columns. Take the season opener against the Retiring Captain's side - despite losing to one of the best teams the school has ever produced, inspirational captain Dan Lloyd and his players gave everything in a match that was as bruising an encounter as any throughout the season.

Wins against Ashville, Giggleswick and Hull Grammar followed, and the performances were marked by our small, light pack dominating not just through speed around the park, but through gritty determination in overcoming weightier opposition in the scrums. The Manorites of Walker, Fort, Welsh, and Leung provided the heart of the side in the front row and as injuries took their toll, Bevan and Butler confidently stepped in to ensure we remained solid [but compact] up front. Allied to our tall timbers in the second row, Shepherd and Downes, and a diminutive back row of Lloyd, King and Iwamoto, the pack always took the field looking markedly smaller than their opponents yet in no game did they come out second best and they certainly "punched above their weight" and rattled packs expecting an easy seventy minutes.

Most matches remained very close for much of the game before we simply ran out of steam having tackled and battled for long periods. In fact the only two sides who really beat us comprehensively were a truly outstanding Barnard Castle side and Durham [who faced a 1st XV severely depleted due to injuries]. Our backs really came into their own in the latter part of the season and Spilman teamed up well with the ever improving Pike at half-back to provide a real attacking look. Kemp reinforced his

In the most atrocious conditions the organisers had ever witnessed, our squad of 10 hardy Yorkshiremen showed their Southern counterparts what real rugby is all about. We went undefeated in what was one of the toughest groups in the tournament and then at the end of an exhausting day played an outstanding game, in terms of skill and commitment, against the much fancied Worth School. Every player contributed to getting the team to the second day for the first time, but none more so than captain Dan Lloyd and the side's MVP Tom Main. To get to the last sixteen was a real achievement and the parents who braved the journey and weather will treasure the memories of a team giving their all and managing to play thrilling rugby in a complete quagmire.

2nd XV Rugby PLAYED: 13 - WON: 9 - DRAWN: 1 - LOST: 3 The Squad: Chris Garnett, James Butterworth, Ed Parkin, Tom Gastrell, Nick Scaife, Rob Scaife, Khaled Ma'Aye, Jon MacGregor, James Gibbon, Toby Cleminson, Tom Boyle*, James Bough*, Tom Showan", Alex Porte, John King, Matthew Suggit, Rob Heyward, Duncan Downes, Charlie Delaney*, Alex Burckhardt, Michael Arkley, Lewis White*, Toby Humphrey, Ben Ward, Philip Walker, Michael Bradshaw, Matthew Welsh, "denotes colours An excellent season based on a desire to win. The team lacked cohesion in attack in the early games but compensated for this with resolute defence.

No sides found us easy to score against and if you can limit points against you don't need to score many yourselves. The players wanted to play champagne rugby early in the season but forgot that flowing rugby relies on getting the basics right. The coach persuaded them to change tactics kicking for position in our own half and attacking in their 22. We lacked real penetration in the backs but rumbled in the forwards with the best of them. This is indicated by Lewis White prop, being top try scorer, all from within five metres! Our front row set a great platform, our back row, especially James Bough, ran with venom and we kept it tight. Tom Boyle, the petit general, read the games excellently and ensured that we kept moving forwards. Charlie Delaney improved with every game dominating the front of the lineout and stealing many loose balls on the floor. Tom Showman epitomised the spirit of the team, never quitting and finished with a memorable performance in the final win against Bradford GS. The backs struggled early season with both decision making and passing. They worked extremely hard at their game becoming difficult to penetrate and it is notable that they matched the forwards in try scoring in the final games of the season. James Gibbon added an attacking edge that allowed others to blossom.

Perhaps the most enjoyable game of the season was the 33-17 win over Ampleforth College. Throughout the season we had a game plan and we stuck to it. If the players have learnt anything this season, and I hope they have, it should be to play to your strengths and exploit the opposition's weaknesses. In others words, think!

The team have been well disciplined and have developed well. They were a pleasure to coach. I hope that those whose final year it is go on to play at club and/or University and enjoy the game both on and off the field.

and Woodhouse Grove U16 were nail-biting encounters and jolly satisfying rugby matches. In the latter encounter the boys tackled unrelentingly and did themselves proud, unfortunate to concede a final try in the last minute of an otherwise gripping second half scoreless draw.

Club rugby is unquestionably the place of glorious rugby. No game was complete without the spell-binding Bryn Gifford 'shuffle'. Jonathan MacGregor's School record 53 point tally for a single match (versus Bradford GS). Michael Arkley's consistent domination at the front. Richard Wilson's drop goal (such panache) and ability to deceive not only the opposition but also his own team-mates and (often) himself. Simon Spencer finally cracking the throw-in after 3'/z years. Andrew Moroney's mastery and timing under the high ball at full-back. Alex Burckhardt's nonsense commentary but no-nonsense commitment. Simon Ryley's crash ball running. Khaled Ma'aye and Tom Fife put in some huge tackles and Liam Connelly came of age as a centre (who ever would have believed it?).

Various back-row combinations included Adrian Warmington, Dave Henderson, James Sugden, Johnson Cunningham and each combination played as well as any other, secure in the tackle and committed in their support. Robert Hall began to look like he enjoyed playing at fly-half just in time to fill his more accustomed role at scrum-half. Even Rick Kissack began to look like a rugby player and did, in fact, make some crucial contributions both in attack and defence. James Sweeting would have played at fly-half (heaven forbid) if it meant playing rather than spectating stick to second row! Toby Pring played with remarkable commitment in the front-row. Rob Harris proved himself admirably on, sadly, too few occasions. Likewise there were not always sufficient opportunities to play Mike Heywood, Jimmy Cheng, Giles Jameson or Joe Holloway, all very competent wingers. International player of the year was Jonathan Viedge: his was the most remarkable playing record: train a bit, play once, qualify for the curry night! Thanks go to Toby Humphrey, Ben Ward and Ed Parkin for adding a serious tone when we were in need.

It's time to put the wrapper back on The Club once more. It has been another winning season for rugby. Thanks to all players and farewell to our Upper Sixth leavers.

to learn and improve. Mike Johnston's efforts in arranging a somewhat different fixture list in the first half of term proved useful as it gave the side time to settle and play their own style. This provided a springboard for some excellent performances in the latter weeks with a win over Durham and very narrow defeats by Bradford and Woodhouse Grove showing how far the boys had come. Once Alex and Tobias had established themselves in the front row with Nathan, we were able to better utilise Ian in the back row with Tom W, Dominic and James. Miles proved a good set scrummager and fine two jumper and Tom B showed his strength both locking the scrum and lifting in the lineout. Will C also proved a splendid deputy in the second row and two jumper. As the season went on these forwards improved technically and were able to provide good first and second phase ball. However it was their tackling that enabled them to cope with bigger and stronger sides. This was shown throughout the season but especially against a very good Pockington side. Tom Woolsey's ball retention, captaincy and tactical awareness were a huge advantage, and certainly played a part in giving real confidence to the rest of the team, (and to the U15 side during their outstanding win in the daily Mail Cup). Behind the pack Ali proved a splendid scrum half keeping things simple and choosing the right option more often than not. Once James had sustained a bad hamstring injury Tom made the position of fly half his own. His organisation and defence were splendid and his distribution improved throughout.

Henry and Matthew proved a fine combination in the centre, tackling with ever increasing passion and attacking with purpose. Henry's cross field kicks also proved a potent weapon and provided a couple of excellent tries, one of which was instrumental in helping us to win against Durham. Raife and Nelson took the wingers slots with Nelson's pace and Raife's strength and tackling proving a huge asset. Tom played with increasing confidence and pace at full-back, and continued to display great courage in defence.

A good number of others played regularly with James Jonathan and Matthew providing excellent cover in the backs. The B squad trained alongside the A's and were instrumental in the improvements made. Chris, Rob, Richard, Max, Pete, Simon, James, Jonathan all showed real potential.

They played with great purpose and no little success throughout. As long as they continue to listen and enjoy the game they will get much from senior rugby in the coming years. It was a pleasure to coach these boys and to receive such positive support from the touch line. My thanks go to them for their efforts, to Mike Johnston for his work on the fixtures, to Mr Perry for his work with the team and to Jonathan Fort whose efforts with the boys in the first half of term was superb.

U15 A Rugby Played 21, Won 21, 799 points (125 tries) for, 78 points (10 tries) against, suggests a fine season, but this does not tell the futl story of the tremendous achievement of the St. Peter's Under-15 rugby team in 2002. The normal schoot fixture list was completed in an uneventful manner, and only the away fixtures against Barnard Castle and Durham School proved to be fairly testing, but the team overcame these obstacles successfully. Charlie Parry lead the scoring with 192 points and James Pang was leading try scorer with 22 tries. Five boys (Will Butler, Ben Hough, Mark Jagger, Alastair Macleod and Tom Woolsey) were selected to represent Yorkshire, indicative of the rugby prowess of the team.

This year's entry of 410 teams made the Under-15 Daily Mail Cup the largest schoolboy rugby competition in the world. We had high hopes when we embarked on the first game (round 3) against Leeds Grammar School and an emphatic 46-10 victory suggested that a cup-run might be possible. This produced a 4th round encounter against the muchfancied Bradford Grammar School team. The St. Peter's side put in a vintage performance at Bradford, emerging as winners (25-3) in a highly intense and aggressive match. Charlie Parry was top scorer with 15 points.

P J Stephen

Our next opponents were Stonyhurst College who were perhaps the most formidable team we played all season. With 15 minutes of the game remaining, St Peter's trailed 7-15. The home side delved deep into their reserves and rose to the challenge, encouraged by the wonderful support. Late tries by Ben Hough and Mark Jagger meant that St Peter's won (17-15) and proceeded into the 6th round against St. Ambrose College, which St Peter's won with ease (49-10). The quarterfinal, away, against Prince Henry's, Evesham, proved to be a very close-fought encounter. In horrific wet and windy conditions, James Pang, beat his opposition winger to nip over for a much-needed try on the stroke of half time. Throughout the second half St Peter's were pinned down in their own half, but a resilient defence, lead by Tom Woolsey and Mark Jagger, proved impenetrable.

U15 B Rugby PLAYED: 14 - WON: 10 - DRAWN: 1 - LOST: 3 The U15 Bs had a very impressive season, winning many games by wide margins, playing exciting rugby and losing only to excellent Ampleforth and Leeds GS sides. Only on one occasion, after Christmas, did they let themselves down with a defeat to Ashville. The main highlight, however, was a superb win at Pocklington. The boys won by 19-14 but were truly outstanding in defence for the final quarter when they came under incredible pressure.

Boosted by a tremendous travelling support from York, St Peter's travelled to Castlecroft stadium in Wolverhampton, to take on the mighty Millfield School. St. Peter's always had the upper hand in this match and emerged as 22-5 victors with Tom Woolsey scoring 2 tries. Six months after embarking on this quest, the boys of the Under-15 squad had earned the right to appear in an all-Yorkshire final against Outwood Grange, at Schools' Day at Twickenham.

In front of many thousand supporters the final proceeded much as we had planned. Outwood Grange were a very physical and combative team with a few exciting players, but they could not quite match the weli-honed rugby skills of the St Peter's side, which dominated much of the forward play and defended resolutely. Tom Woolsey and Will Butler completed some fine driving play with tries in the first half.

The pack remained similar throughout the season. It was led by the side's best player, open-side Robin Johnson, who played terrifically throughout the season and deservedly made the Daily Mail squad. All the forwards worked very hard in training on their rucking and between them scored many tries. They consistently provided good ball for the talented backs. No doubt several of these backs will play at a much higher level, particularly when they grow!

James Endersby managed to evade the St Peter's defence to score an impressive try in the second half, setting up a tense end to the game.

A penalty kick from Charlie Parry secured the victory by 16 points to 7 for St Peter's. From a starting line-up of 410 teams, the St. Peter's squad were proud and deserved winners of the Under-15 Daily Mail Cup. It was tremendous to see the many hundreds of supporters who had travelled to witness this celebration of St. Peter's rugby. 1 would like to express my gratitude to all those who supported the Under-15 squad throughout the season. I also want to thank Mike Johnston and Paul Taylor for their assistance with coaching, and the parents of the players for their loyal support. Finally, I would like to thank all the boys in the squad for their hard work and commitment -1 hope you agree with me that it was worth it!

M A Monteith

We had quite a large squad this year and consequently some boys did not play as much rugby as we may have wanted. However, I enjoyed working with all these boys and thoroughly enjoyed their efforts. Well done and thank you for your commitment. Finally, many thanks to the sets of parents who followed us around - your support is always warmly appreciated.

answer to our pace. The middle 20 minutes of the game saw the side play rugby that would have defeated many 'A' teams: in this period there were no dropped passes, no missed tackles, and the correct options were taken every time. The final score was 14-7 in St. Peter's favour.

Against a strong Hymers team we started very badly conceding a try in the first two minutes. Only in the final quarter of the game did we start to play our own type of fast open rugby, eventually going down 17 - 7. We were made to work very hard against Ampleforth in the next fixture. Every player dug deep and produced performances to be proud of and we managed to snatch a thrilling victory. The boys must learn to show courage and conviction in every game if they are to show what they are fully capable of next year. Not only one or two players but from one to fifteen.

This was a team with few "stars", but a number of key figures ought to be commented on here. Edward Lax and Paul Middleton-Walker were notable for making the "hard yards" that often prove crucial to winning any match.

The low point of the season came away at Trent College where we conceded defeat to a far weaker and less talented side. Too many poor passes, weak tackles and ineffective kicks cost us the game.

Against Pocklington the forwards were beginning to show what a destructive unit they could become. We managed to restrict a very talented Pock back line to scraps of possession and earned a creditable 12-12 draw.

Every boy will need to stand up and be counted when they meet a formidable Durham side next season. We competed extremely ably in this fixture and gave a good account of ourselves, eventually losing out to the better side. The most complete performance of the year came against a good Leeds Grammar School side whom we defeated 4 2 - 1 2 .

It has been a pleasure to coach these boys this season. A number of boys have impressed me with their talent and development this year. James Drake admirably captained the side on most occasions. Peter Wackett impressed in whatever position he played in and I am sure will feature strongly in the side next year. He fully deserved his chance to play in the Under 15's Daily Mail Cup run and was a great asset to the side. Richard Lum was a newcomer to the school and the game and ended the season being the most complete back row player. Ferocious tackling, superb support and scrabbling for the ball on the floor earned him a number of team tries. Matthew Thomas-Peter was also outstanding in most games this season and was constantly a thorn in the opposition side, due to his immense defensive work. Simon Baker has worked extremely hard on his handling skills and it is starting to pay dividends, he scored a number of good tries this season and defended excellently. It is up to the rest of the boys in the squad to have the same courage, determination and work ethic as these players to achieve what they are fully capable of.

Simon Webster proved himself to be a terrific defensive forward who carried out many of the tasks that others shunned. Once in his grasp, the ball was rarely released to the opposition. Ben Reeves, with a low centre of gravity and a terrific body position in contact, was clearly an 'A' team player who only turned out for the Bs because of his lack of stature. Ian Jarvis, the fly half, had all the skills required for this position. As the season developed he became ever more adept in bringing others into the game.

The two scrum-halves - Nick Mannion and Sam Farquharson - deserve a mention. The first was combative and a surprisingly elusive runner, the second - another player that we were fortunate to poach from the 'A' team - had a swift pass and was quick to threaten round the fringes. Tom Fahy was an ever present in the side - perhaps our most improved player, deceptively quick, by the end of the season he was convincing in the tackle. In any case, he established a terrific partnership with Seb Burckhardt who was his polar opposite - a player who relished contact and who enjoyed nothing more than flattening his opposite number. David Cook was a natural finisher on either wing. At the end of the season he was comfortably the side's top try scorer. And, finally, the team was for most of the season captained by Jeremy Thomas who brought to the task a maturity and dedication that ensured that the team was more focused and determined than our opponents.

There were some lovely moments in the season: a try fashioned from nothing against Trent College by Ian Jarvis with two chips and catches over the top of defenders; the ten minute defence of our line against Ampleforth when the side, collectively, decided that "Shack" wouldn't score; Rory Stark's astonished face as one of the Bradford Grammar School's pack threw a punch at him; Paul Nicholson (playing without contact lenses) going completely mad in the same match and hitting Ben Reeves as hard as he had hit anything all season as the latter stood at the side of a ruck.

The commitment to improvement within this squad was a rare thing and it carried all those involved through both opponents and ghastly weather to gain a genuine feeling of achievement at the end of a long and exhausting term.

PLAYED: 13 - WON: 12 - DRAWN: 0 - LOST: 1 FOR: 543 - AGAINST: 79

Due to the strength in depth of the year group, the school was able to field a C team for the first time in many years. Throughout the season the boys trained hard and progressed well, with several of the squad going on to represent the B team later in the term.

Last year's group of players in the Under 14 'B' squad is the most talented that I have coached. Having reached the end of a busy season with only one defeat, the players were justified in considering a job well done.

In many of the games played the team totally overpowered the opposition.

What was all the more impressive was the team's attitude to these successes: throughout the season the team took very seriously the idea that the most important feature of any match was how much they learned during the experience. Very rarely did the players express themselves entirely pleased with a performance at the end of a match. More significantly, their attitude to the referee and to the opposition in defeat and in victory made them a credit to the school.

The season's most memorable matches were two classic collisions with Ampleforth College. In the away match we lost narrowly after making a couple of uncharacteristic errors at key moments of the match. The opposition clearly expected to win; we hoped that we would. The difference in attitude in a close match turned out to be crucial. In the return at St..

Peter's Ampleforth scored an early try. From that moment onward we dominated the match. Our forwards scarcely allowed the opposition to see the possession again and when the ball was moved wide they had no

The season comprised two matches, both against Ampleforth, and both produced terrifically exciting and close games.

The first match, away, saw the lead change hands several times before ending in a very fair draw, 22 points all. Robert Belgrave scored two tries with his powerful running, Will Ryley led by example as Captain, and there was much courageous tackling from everyone.

The return match was equally close. Despite a concerted spell of pressure on the opposition line, we were just unable to make the final pass, and a very late try earned Ampleforth a 5-0 victory. Thanks to Mr Slingsby, whose refereeing ensured that the game was open, flowing and enjoyable for all.

I hope that many of the boys will continue with their rugby next year, as there is lots of potential in a strong year group for them to represent the school higher up. Finally my thanks to Mr Taylor and Mr Johnston for their help during the term.

Boys1 Hockey 1st XI Hockey PLAYED: 11 - WON: 3 - DRAWN: 1 - LOST: 7 Reading through these reports and remembering how the matches went, realised that in all bar two we were playing the better hockey and passing the ball around confidently producing some great build-ups.

However we seem to lack a goal scorer and so didn't capitalize on the good build-up play. When playing Scarborough College losing 0 - 1 for the second time this proved to me that we could go far in a national competition as Scarborough College are a very good side. That is a great achievement as most of the players in this team have only played hockey for three years.

J Iwamoto - Junior, a great season in goal, played well in every match. He's fast on his feet producing some good saves! Well played.

2nd XI Hockey PLAYED: 6 - WON: 4 - DRAWN: 0 - LOST: 2 C Hazlerigg, A Porte, J Sweeting, T Cleminson, A Mak, R Hayward, T Boyle, R Heaps, M Heywood, P Henwood, R Janes, J King and R Francis.

The weather caused disruption to the season with four games cancelled.

Charles Hazlerigg led the team with enthusiasm and skill. In goal Sweeting was a large presence showing his footballing ability. Toby Cleminson, John King and Alex Porte were sound in defence, distributing the ball well.

The midfield was marshalled by Tom Boyle with skills and workrate. Rob Hayward, Rob Heaps and Alan Mak showed nice touches in midfield. The forward line often menacing was Pete Henwood, Raymond Janes and Richard Francis. The team played with spirit and were a pleasure to be involved with.

M W Johnston

M S Hodsdon - Hodo a converted forward, showed a natural ability with the stick, great vision to intercept passes. Good luck next year.

T Main - Mainy - well, who would have thought that Mainy would be in the 1st. XI hockey side! Well, all I can say is outstanding in defence. Never missed a tackle and intercepting through balls. For me, the most improved player of the season. An excellent season!

J E Taylor - Tay, a natural sportsman, great eye to ball co-ordination. As centre marker he prevented numerous goals being scored against us.

Improving stick work could see him move into a more attacking position.

Well played.

H J Burton - Burts-ginner (well despite his girl outlook for most of the pre-season, Burts was able to see the ball after a hedge cutter was used!), solid as a rock to complete the back four. Deals with pressure easily and picks good passes out from the back. Thanks Burts for two years of hockey with you at Peters. Well played.

J B Spilman - Spilers, a player who has great speed and determination. He showed against good sides that he could hold his own and against weaker sides he looked very good. With fast stick skills and now passing more freely, make Spilers a very good player. Well played.

U16 Hockey

M A Arkley - mark a radius of 2.5 meters, Mike is almost impossible to dribble passed. Over the season he showed maturity, passing at the right times and going solo at the right times. Playing with Mike has been good fun as if the ball goes near him he will have it, picking off passes all over the pitch! Mike - well played and keep your cool!

U16 SQUAD: T Bartram (Capt), J Ash, M Baker, T Burckhardt, T Downey, J Doyle, T Edwards, J Forsyth, D Hanby, R Kiveal, J Rowlands, A Sargeant, H Scott, W Sim, M Spalding, R Storer, J Wackett, S Wallam and I Watkinson.

J H Rose - Jess, great feet work, should become a footballer! Jess was a good player and once he got the ball he went down the line and made very good ground in every match! Well played Jess.

A J Crompton - Crompts, well played setting up lots of goals with confident dribbling and scoring a very good goal! Keep playing.

A Chalmers - a natural player with improving vision and stick skills all the time. Andy, who has played for two years and still has one left will be a great player next year. He should get some proper shoes through! Andy can score goals with speed, he played well all season with lots of great goals. Well played.

D J T Lloyd - Lloydie's injury has prevented Dan from being part of the team all season, the matches he played he was able to show off impressive speed and skill. Well played.

Each player named above gave the team a little something making it a great honour to be part of the team and captain it. It has been a great season and some very good hockey has been played.

I would like to thank Mr Johnston for coaching the team and for taking the time to sit in traffic there and back from the astro for up to an hour - thank you. I would love to see an astro at St. Peters - it would be great for hockey at the school.

Thank you all for a great hockey season.

With such a large squad it was difficult to gain pattern and also give everybody the opportunity to play. Main strengths of the side were Ian Watkinson in goal, and James Wackett and Tom Bartram in midfield. Ali Sargeant and Tom Downey proved to be a dangerous strike force. All the games on grass were cancelled due to inclement weather. All players played with spirit and enthusiasm. Well done.

The Under fifteen hockey season was severely affected by the year groups success in the Rugby Daily Mail Cup. A number of fixtures and training sessions were lost due to rugby commitments.

This year group is very talented in a number of sporting fields and demonstrated this admirably in their first fixture versus Scarborough College.

Scarborough are always one of the hardest hockey fixtures we play. They were very skilful, but our superior speed, strength, desire to win and games playing awareness steered us to a comfortable win.

Sport • :: is

We also had other large victories over Barnard Castle and Giggleswick. Our only defeat came in a 2-1 loss to Q.E.G.S. We competed very well against a side that play hockey all year round and eventually their superior knowledge of the game proved our undoing. We were missing a couple of key players who were engaged in county rugby matches, which may make the difference next year.

These boys could make a very good hockey team in the future if they can see the need to work hard at their skill levels and be far less selfish in their understanding of ball distribution. Notable performances of the season came from Chris Smalley(RM), James Pang(CM), Marcus Dennison(GK), Ben Hough (CH), Will Butler (SW) and Charlie Parry (LM).

U14 Hockey PLAYED: 8 - WON: 4 - DRAWN: 2 - LOST: 2 In their first season of competitive hockey, the U14s achieved some excellent results, notably beating Scarborough College and drawing with a very strong Trent College. More importantly, they developed individually and as a team and should go on to play at a higher level. In no short measure this improvement can be put down to the expert coaching of Bob Maltby and the consistent use of the Astroturf at the College of Ripon and York St. John.

Well done to all the boys involved.

P C Taylor

Cricket 1st XI Cricket The 2002 season was the best for a long time. Of 15 matches completed, 10 were won, three drawn and two lost. One of the defeats was against a strong Saints CC team, the other at the festival when we were below full strength. The total of 10 wins has only been equalled in 1966 and 1978.

The team played good positive cricket and I was particularly pleased that there were only three draws. The team was ably captained by James Taylor, who set a fine example on and off the field. Because of the exam schedule it was also a disjointed season, indeed almost two seasons. We played 10 matches before half term, only one in the second half of term and six in the holidays.

The batting was quite strong and the depth was important on several occasions. I changed the batting order regularly to give all the batsmen opportunities to bat in the top positions. This policy had advantages, but was perhaps an explanation why several players were inconsistent. All the batsmen had the ability to make big scores but this ability must be linked to consistent application. James Taylor batted at number 3 all season and played very well. He has worked hard at his game, has improved a lot and has become an accomplished player all round the wicket. Tom Main had a good season. He has a sound temperament and although he did not score a vast number of runs, he never let us down when the pressure was on.

James and Tom were worthy joint winners of the Colin Bosomworth Cup. They have always been invaluable team men, but this year they have contributed enormously to the team's success. Tom Bartram had a mixed season. He played a few very good innings, but struggled to find consistent form. Matthew Hodsdon was another who played impressively at times, but he was out cheaply too often. Andrew Chalmers again showed what a talented player he is, without making any big scores. Edward Taylor also played well on a number of occasions. It was good to see Jeremy Rose and Jos Spilman secure places in the team after seasons in the 2nd XI. Both tried hard and played important innings for the team. As a batsman, James Wackett had a season he will want to forget. Little went right for him and I hope that his 48 against the Old Peterites will give him confidence, as he has the potential to score a lot of runs. Tom Woolsey batted soundly, espe-

cially when he opened in the Under 17 match against Sedbergh. James Sweeting had few chances, but he practised hard and certainly made progress. Towards the end of the season after captaining the Under 15s Ben Hough showed his wide range of shots and at the festival Charlie Parry and Henry Scott showed considerable promise.

The bowling was dominated by Tom Woolsey. His total of 51 wickets was a just reward for his accuracy and perseverance. He varied his pace well and his "arm ball" was an effective weapon. He bowled particularly well at the festival and won the prize for the best young player. Tom Main bowled very well at times but was expensive when he bowled a leg-stump line too often. James Sweeting earned his place in the team and if he did not take a lot of wickets, he often bowled well and deserved more success. Tom Bartram was not at his best in the first half of the season, but later he got into a groove and was much more successful. Because of his back problems, Matthew Hodsdon had to change his action completely. Towards the end of the season he seemed more comfortable with the new action and he bowled with pace and aggression.

The fielding was generally good, but not as consistent as it might have been. James Taylor, who won the Fielding Cup for the third time, was outstanding and set a fine example to his team. Andrew Chalmers was also impressive. Edward Taylor and James Wackett shared the wicket-keeping and were usually reliable. James' form at the festival was very encouraging. This year's Junior House competition was won by Temple, who beat School House in the final.

This year's festival was held at Loretto and a splendidly organised week it was. Our thanks to Paul Murphy and Paul Dunn who did a great job to run a most enjoyable festival.

My thanks to all my colleagues who have coached and run the School teams. We are very grateful to Tobias Burckhardt who was an excellent and reliable scorer. This year the Old Peterite match was played in the first week of the holidays. At lunchtime on the first day we had a barbecue and drinks party which was much appreciated and may well be repeated next year. It was good to see so many of our cricket supporters past and present.

2nd XI Cricket Poor weather and a change in the half-term arrangements allowed the 2nd XI to play only seven matches. The side were stronger than all their opponents and ended the season with six wins and a drawn match at Pocklington. Their approach was very positive; the run rate averaged over six runs per over throughout the season, accurate bowling and tight fielding made scoring runs difficult for the opposition. Only Bradford put our bowlers under pressure but they were unable to contain Henry Burton and Tom Hilling who put on an undefeated 199 for the second wicket in 31 overs. Tom's 107 not out was the individual highlight in an outstanding season.

St. Peter's batted second in every match and, with the exception of the game at Pocklington, were always in control in the run chase. Henry Burton averaged over 50 and, as well as many powerful strikes to the boundary, ran particularly well between the wickets making the most of his time at the crease. Peter Henwood averaged nearly 60; he was also very aggressive with the bat but his judgement of a single was questionable as he was responsible for three run outs; twice being the victim himself! Tom Hilling made good progress with the bat. When settled he moves his feet well, but will have to address this from the start of his innings if he is to succeed in the first team. Due to the success of the early order there were few opportunities for others to bat for any significant lengths of time but the were useful contributions from Toby Cleminson, Henry Scott and Raife Gale.

The standard of bowling was considerably better than in any of the opposition sides. Charlie Hazlerigg and Matthew Spading formed an effective opening pair; both were difficult to score off and their accuracy gave us the initiative in every game. Henry Scott gained greater consistency with the ball as the season progressed; he seems able to swing the ball in any conditions and should be able to move up to the 1st. XI next year. James Ash has considerable potential and would be well advised to make the best possible use of winter practice. He has the ability to beat batsmen for pace and although he certainly turned the match our way against Ampleforth he does not yet have the consistency to play at a higher level. Lewis White was the leading wicket taker and gave the attack variety. Towards the end of the season his length was much improved and he gave the batsmen fewer easy runs. Miles Baker also contributed well with the ball.

U15 Cricket An extremely small squad of thirteen players turned up at the beginning of the Summer Term and this would have been even smaller if Mr Kirby had not so generously overlooked the strong claims of Ben Hough to a place in the 1st XI. Hough was an outstanding batsman and captain; perhaps as good as any I have coached at this age in my long career at St Peter's. As a captain, he

Tom Boyle was more confident and consistent behind the stumps and showed a much improved ability when standing up. The ground fielding was generally good with James Ash and Matthew Spalding being the pick of the fielders. Few catches were dropped and some exceptional catches were held, the best by Toby Cleminson at slip against Ampleforth.

My particular thanks go to Henry Burton who captained the side particularly well. He used his bowlers to best effect and was shrewd in his field placing. He was always trying to make something happen and the cricket was never dull. Henry's enthusiasm, both in matches and in practice, rubbed off on all those around him and his knowledge of the game was respected by all those in the side. He also won the toss in every game; perhaps he could give lessons to Nasser Hussein! I am most grateful to him for all his efforts. It has been a pleasure to work with this side; they have played to win but have also played the game in the right spirit and have certainly played for each other.

was shrewd and demonstrated a deep tactical knowledge in this most intricate of games. A left-handed opening batsman, he led by example scoring one century and having another in the nineties. His straight driving through mid-off was a joy but he needs to demonstrate more often his ability to play the same shot on the on side rather than electing to hit over square leg. Twice he was bowled off his pads, playing a chip across the line. He was a useful wicket taker with his medium paced bowling although his action will need some refinement if he is to bowl any quantity of overs in the future.

With such a small squad to be very honest with one or two reluctant cricketers it was inevitable the side would struggle against the better teams, and so it proved.

The Peterite 2001-2002

SpQrt

a straighter bat on the back foot. He has scored runs constantly. Highlight 100 not out against Barnard Castle School.

Sam Farquharson (RHB) Started the season at keeper but developed well bowling phantom seamers. He struggled with the bat early on but worked extremely hard and improved technique considerably.

David Scott (RHB] Shows great potential bowling away swing but all too often lapses into lethargy. He must develop discipline and determination if he is to reach his potential.

Michael Down (RHB) Fast medium. Michael improved his action during the season and shows the potential to be quick. He hits the ball hard and shows great determination in all aspects of the game. He is a good fielder.

Without runs from Hough and Charlie Parry we were never going to make large scores although Edward Hilling showed excellent technique in defence and an ability to occupy the crease. When he grows and increases his strength, he will surely score a lot of runs. He was an excellent keeper too.

William Butler is Hilling in reverse, preferring to give the ball a good thump through the V. His technique improved enormously through the term, as he was keen to learn by making full use of coaching sessions. He, too, is a more than useful medium paced bowler and can keep wicket. His catching in the slips was an inspiration in some matches.

Charlie Parry was, after his captain, the next best player in the team.

A right arm opening bowler of some pace, he has mastered the slower ball, which comes out as an off-antler. This was a productive wicket taken for him. He is also a very accomplished right hand batsman and I congratulate him, along with Hough in being selected for the 1st XI to represent the School at the Summer's Annual Cricket Festival.

Another player to impress in both departments was Tim Heaps who bowled his out swingers with success on the early damp pitches but struggled when the wickets became hard. Something here for him to think about.

His batting is technically good but he lacks the strength necessary to play in front of the wicket shots at the moment, but everything is in place for a success in the future.

James Pang bowled some fast but rather erratic overs. Ian Francis, John Ramsden and James Clarke took care of the spin department and promise well for the future. They must not be discouraged by being 'slogged' at this stage of their careers. Increasing accuracy and bigger fields will compensate them in the future years. The fielding although having one or two excellent individuals amongst them was below par.

The ball must be attacked much more vigorously as at this level of cricket chances of run-outs happen frequently. How many did we get all season?

I must thank those players who turned up to make up the team. It is essential in matches lasting four hours that we have players like Andrew Slingsby, Joe Clark, Alex Shone and Robin Johnson who are prepared to spend most of their time fielding and rarely getting into bat or bowl.

U14 'A1 Cricket PLAYED: 7 - WON: 3 - DRAWN: 2 - LOST: 2 The Players: David Heaton (RHB WK) Opening batsman. David shows great concentration at the crease. His front foot driving on the off is excellent, he must develop the on drive and use The Peterite 2001-2002

Peter Wackett (RHB) Peter is a natural stroke player. He hits the ball cleanly all around the wicket. He must endeavour to use his feet to a greater degree in order to stop hitting the ball in the air too often. He shows genuine pace in his bowling but must temper his yearning to experiment with every ball. A first class cover fielder. Highlight 100 not out against Scarborough College.

Ian Jarvis (RHB) A good batsman, Ian struggled at the beginning of the season with short balls on leg. He has worked hard to overcome this problem. His bowling has been variable but shows potential. As his confidence increased he moved his feet more and consequently improved. Highlight 50 against Pocklington School.

Charlie Elwess (RHB) A solid action, Charlie bowls seam up and on greener tracks was dangerous. He improved his consistency and that was the key to a good season.

With the bat, Charlie struggled to pick length but if he continues to work hard he will overcome the problem.

Sam Macbeth (RHB) Sam started the season bowling accurately. He must endeavour to maintain this trait. A legspin bowler he must learn to put bad balls behind him.

His batting technique is sound and as he improves his strength runs will come.

Tom James (RHB) A penetrating left arm over opening bowler, Tom aims to hit leg stump too often. He shows potential but must move nearer to the stumps on delivery. His batting improved from slugger to controlled aggression he must work hard in winter nets.

James Drake (RHB) James improved technique in the nets and will become a good batsman.

He swings the ball prodigiously and with greater control will take a lot of wickets. In the field he has a very safe pair of hands.

Stuart Everard (RHB) Off spin bowler who turns the ball a long way. South African Stuart bowls a good line and length and always takes wickets. Once he adapted to slow, low English pitches he conceded fewer runs. A sound batsman and good fielder.

Jeremy Thomas (RHB) Left arm spinners are essential in St. Peter's cricket teams. Jeremy has worked extremely hard having converted from medium pace. He has a good arm ball and is starting to spin the ball. His batting needs work.

A mixed season with some outstanding individual performances, but lacking at times team cohesion. Fielding sets the tone of all aspects of the game, and whilst our effort improved over the term, we never applied pressure on the opposition. There were individual exceptions, but too many of the team thought that standing in the field was sufficient.

In the nets, including pre-season, effort was high and many players improved their individual technique. Cricket is a game in which you are constantly learning and one or two of the players must guard against thinking they have mastered the art already.

We found it difficult to maintain pressure on opposition batsmen.

The new bowling restrictions, whilst correct in their ideology, I believe have robbed young bowlers of the opportunity to learn the value of spells of accurate bowling. It is difficult to achieve any rhythm in staccato bursts. It also means that high wicket returns from individual bowlers are less frequent.

David Heaton, Sam Macbeth and Stuart Everard are congratulated on their selection for North Yorkshire Schools U14 XI. Overall, the group have been a pleasure to coach and I do hope they all continue to play throughout the school, and beyond.

If results really matter, then the U14 :B' have a case for sacking the coach!

At least two games were lost due to tactical errors in retiring batsmen and bowling everybody. Thankfully results come a distant last to enjoyment, participation and improvement. Each pupil significantly developed their skills and several must continue into the U15s.

Boys1 Squash This past season witnessed our final year, for the time being, of participation in the York and District Men's League. Jeremy Rose our Captain of Squash regularly produced high quality shots and had an extremely successful season playing men of many years experience. Notable support came from Eddie Hilling and Josh Bennet. Both players gave 100% effort and certainly gained much from their matches. We also joined the York and Harrogate Under 15 Squash League achieving a very respectable mid table position. We intend to widen our participation in this league by entering teams at Under 15 and Under17 level. There is a very keen group of pupils wishing to play these matches and although saying goodbye to our courts at the back of Alcuin we expect our fixture list to grow over the coming years.

'DENOTES NEW SCHOOL RECORD,

Boys' Tennis 1st VI Tennis It was always going to be a tough act to follow last year's team and their fabulous record. Losing both the first and second pairs left a large void to fill. However, there was the highlight of playing on the new grass courts at Queen Anne. It seems such a pity that at present there are just the two.

The win over Ampleforth College by f>'h to 2 1 /? was the greatest achievement of the season, which was the second in successive seasons.

There was a body blow at the start of the season when we found out that the Captain Jonathan Fort would not be able to play at all due to his shoulder injury. There were also injuries and illness, which affected both Richard Wilson and James Ellis over the first week of the season when we played our two most difficult matches against Bradford GS and Hymers College. So it came down to a number of debutants from the Lower Sixth to try and fly the flag.

At first pair this year were James Ellis and Christopher Garnett and they had a record of 67°/o success in the sets that they played together. There are signs that Christopher (next year's Captain) is adapting well to the slick

grass surface; if he can get into a groove on his returns, he can take out the very best. His hitting zone is so much wider than most because of his sense of anticipation and range of strokes, be they blocked returns, sliced backhands or crunching forehands. James continues to produce a very solid game quite similar to last season. His two handed backhand is such a reliable and accurate shot. However, he has been let down by his serve at some crucial points during the season, particularly when serving against the University of York to level the overall match score. There are just a few minor adjustments required to take him on to the next level and I am sure that he will address them over the summer holidays. I would like to see a greater variation in placement of the serve making it difficult to read and hence return. There is also a need to produce a second serve which carries top spin, this will make it far more consistent than his current flatter ball and hence reduce the number of double faults. I am hopeful that this pairing will rise to new heights next year and become quite formidable on the circuit.

2nd VI Tennis The second team enjoyed another very successful season, although there was not quite sufficient strength in depth to recapture the outstanding form of the last two years. Two of the most challenging fixtures fell at the start of term, yet the team emerged with some credit, losing narrowly to Bradford and securing a draw against Hymers. Three convincing wins established a sequence that was interrupted only by defeat at the hands of QEGS Wakefield, whose team featured three regular first-team players.

Clean sheets followed against Worksop and Ampleforth, and the season ended with a good result against Giggleswick's first team. Edward Parkin (captain) and Casper Kaars-Sijpesteijn played with increasing confidence and consistency at first pair for most of the season. The fact that they

Jonathan Kemp and Guy Rushton established themselves at second pair around the mid point in the season and produced a most creditable 75°/o success record. Guy was a rock at second pair whoever he partnered. He has a very cool composure and a mastery of the grass surface, which few have at schoolboy level. His demeanour on court was a joy to observe and his contribution to the cause was never in question, when there was a tiebreak to win, Guy came up with the result! Jonathan forced his way into the team with an indomitable spirit and a solid baseline game. He knows that he needs to work on that backhand so that he can rally from that side without being under pressure to try and finish the point early. He now also has the confidence to play the net position and is not afraid to smash the volley away when the opportunity arises. He possesses punishing overhead shots and great mobility.

At third pair were Tom Gastrell and Richard Wilson and they had a record of 50% success in the sets that they played together. Both were new players in the first team this season and both had difficulty in finding the right partner. Tom's game has come on over his first season on the grass at St. Peter's. He certainly has a competitive instinct and sets his standards very high - this has sometimes had a detrimental effect on his performance. He doesn't hold his volley in high regard but this attitude often means that he does not want to close in on the net; it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The more Tom plays the volley and comes in behind either a serve or ground stroke the better he will become; this is an essential feature for next season on the grass. Finally Richard Wilson, who was probably the most naturally gifted player in the whole school! He has had a difficult spell this season in which he had problems in maintaining his concentration. This resulted in a slump of form, which is not in keeping with the natural talent that seeps from his every pore. When the shots are finding their target there is no more exciting player in the school; when they start misfiring he is not slow to show displeasure.

I would like to thank Mr. Taylor for his support with the 2nd VI, who enjoyed an 81 °/o success record and Mr. Paterson for his help and encouragement of the U15 squad; their record being 63°/o success.

Finally, thanks to Mr. M Bland, Mr. J Moore, Mrs. M Whitehead and Mrs. B Turnbull for all there fine efforts with all the forty-five boys in the club.

Colours: First team colours were re-awarded to the James Ellis and Christopher Garnett. They were awarded for the first time to Oliver Duke, Tom Gastrell, Jonathan Kemp, Guy Rushton and Richard Wilson.

The following represented the 1st. VI team: D.W. Downes, O.E. Duke, J.B. Ellis, C.C. Garnett, T.P. Gastrell, C.H. Kaars Sijpesteijn, J.S. Kemp, G.H.G. Rushton and R.W.J. Wilson.

mounted a successful challenge against the third pair of the first team later in the term is evidence of the improvement in their game. Dominic Cross and Charles Strickland-Constable formed another regular pairing and, at their best, showed promise for the year ahead. The remaining pairing was selected from Oliver Duke, Jonathan Kemp and Duncan Downes, depending on the requirements of the first team. During the season the team also featured Rick Kissack, Dan Lloyd, James Brown, Oliver Butler, Charlie Delaney and Tom Downey. My thanks and congratulations go to all who played, and in particular to Edward Parkin and Casper KaarsSijpesteijn, who showed great commitment throughout the season.

Colours were awarded to Edward and Casper, together with Duncan Downes.

U15 Tennis PLAYED: 8 - W O N : 5-LOST: 3 The U15 squad responded well to Margaret Whitehead's coaching and improved noticeably throughout the term. Joshua Tindall, the captain, led by example and was ably suppoted by Matthew Nawton, Peter Slower, Charlie Duke, Giles Buchanan and James Barber. The remaining members of the squad also contributed much as their improvement put pressure on the team members to play their best.

As the results show the team was successful. The highlight of the season that reflected the improvement of the squad was the win against Ampleforth - traditionally one of our strongest opponents.

Now that the team has gained valuable playing experience I trust that they will press on to greater things in the coming years.

Girls' Hockey

Island 2nd XI Hockey As every year goes by I expect the gap between the astroturf schools and ourselves to grow wider. Inevitably it will. However, at the moment we compete well with all schools, whatever the surface, and have learnt to adapt whether to astro or to muddy grass. They are two very different types of game, but both with their virtues. The overriding feature is that, whatever the surface, the girls enjoy their hockey.

3rd XI and U16XI Girls Hockey Just a few games to report on here. The Under 16s had 2 games; the first a good win away at Queen Marys and the second of note because it was the first fixture against Ampleforth Girls. This was an enjoyable game and hopefully the first of many. The Under 16s had 2 tournaments where they had moderate success coming 3rd in The York and District Knockout Tournament and 2nd in The British Aerospace Knockout Tournament. The 3rd XI had 2 games both closely contested and giving several girls the chance to play who would not normally have the opportunity.

Results:

The 1st. XI have had a very good season, captained by Matilda Noble. She was quick in goal and made many good saves throughout the season (though was better with both contact lenses!). The team started with 3 good wins against Easingwold, Mount St. Mary's and Scarborough College.

Georgie Robinson as sweeper was very steady and always cleared well.

Jenna Sillars was speedy at left back and Lyndsay Burrell (converted from right wing!) was excellent in the tackle. Emma Farquharson fitted easily into the team and was a very dependable centre defender. After a run of wins we played Queen Margaret's. This was a rather lack lustre effort on our part and at one point they were running rings around us. The score stayed at 1 - 2 due mainly to the hard working midfield. Jenny Ashley, as ever, showed grit and determination. Jenny's constant harassment of the opposition and Clare Fletcher's very good close stickwork skills saved many a day. Importantly, they were in essence an attacking midfield and it was evident later in the term that Clare Taylor added strength to this already formidable midfield.

In the middle of the term there were many pleasing wins, notably against Worksop and Giggleswick. There was a narrow loss against Durham but this was an excellent effort considering 7 of the normal 1st. XI were missing for trips or Open Days. Laura Heaps was without doubt "Man of the Match" and thoroughly deserved the goals she scored. She played extremely well all year, in the tradition of St. Peter's right wings - speedy and with a hard cross - few defenders could keep up with her. Charlotte Ware on the left wing was a prolific goalscorer too, picking off many of her goals at the left hand post. Jo Topping completed the front 3; she showed a very quick turn of speed in the circle which resulted in many goals during the season.

The 2nd XI were strong and had a good set of results, with only 2 losses. The Upper Sixth members of the team provided the stability. Julia Winepress (captain), Georgie Aeons and Rose Strickland-Constable all played with commitment, both Rose and Georgie showing excellent timing of the tackle and Julia giving good support to the attack. Emma King (who also had several games for the 1st. XI) read the game extremely well. Laura Mclntyre showed good stick skills while newcomers Sarah Thompson and Anna Greenwood were adaptable and both played in several positions. Daisy Cannons and Alison Thompson played dominant forwards, quick to capitalise on a loose ball in front of goal. In defence, both Emily Adam and Lucy Collier were very dependable. Other players of note were Felicity Hodson and Hannah Marsh (who totted up a good goal tally by the end of the season). Helen Slee and Lara Gibbs both played strongly on the wing. Playing in goal was Rosie Battye who gave confidence to the team through her secure play. It should be noted that more than 11 players have been mentioned here (and there were more!) - it was often very difficult to choose a team. Some of the best results were the 2 - 1 wins at Barnard Castle on astro and (a very different type of game) the 4 - 1 win on grass against Pocklington. In both games the team looked organised, skilful and dominant.

In all it has been another very good season. It is always sad to lose an Upper Sixth who have played with so much commitment and spirit but there is much up and coming talent and everything augurs well for next year. My thanks as ever go to Mrs Shepherd, the captains for their help and the groundsmen for their preparation of the pitches.

U15 Girls Hockey The Under 15 A team has had an excellent season. They have built on what they have learnt from their previous season's encounters. The team opened their account with a 6 - 0 demolition of Queen Mary's away. From then on the team went from strength to strength recording another three very impressive 6 - 0 victories over Giggleswick and Fylinghall at home, and Barnard Castle away.

Unfortunately we were on the wrong side of a 6 - 2 result against Queen Margaret's. This, coupled with a 1 - 0 loss to Worksop College proved to be the only two defeats of the season.

The entire team worked extremely hard as a unit and were strong in every department. Chloe Burns in goal had a quiet season purely because Lara Turner, Helen Round and Clemmie Baig were so strong in defence but Chloe could be relied when needed and was steadfast. Sally McLaren, Lizzie Fishley and Sarah Crompton were all on top form receiving and distributing the ball accurately and quickly up to the front players. Georgina Duke and Sophie Ottewell created punishing attacks by their skill and pace up the wings and once the ball was fed into the danger areas Sophie Rose and Julia Miller pounced and demonstrated their prowess. The evidence is all too obvious by the results.

Sarah Welsh was a more than adequate substitute when required and was called on repeatedly to stand in for missing or injured players. She rose well to the

Spopt /;;,-;.:;:•<;:;-,.•;.•<:

challenge and proved that she was a valuable team member.

The Under 15 B team had a mixed season by comparison with their opening game away at Mount St. Mary's. On a surface that was more akin to a rugby pitch than a hockey pitch (the ball was not visible in the grass from the sidelines) it was hard going. The girls, however, being led by Sarah Welsh were still very determined and focused. A bizarre goal however, which came close to full time left us reflecting on what might have been.

The enthusiasm that was evident in all the training sessions paid off with a well-earned 1 - 0 victory over Queen Margaret's. The enthusiasm shown by the A team was infectious and the B team caught the bug. This was evident during the season and although some of the results did not go their way the level of commitment and enthusiasm that was on display was evident.

U14 Girls Hockey At the beginning of term, the selection of A and B squads for the U14, from the 39 available girls, was not an easy task, particularly when all seemed enthusiastic and eager to be "team players". However, I feel my choices were justified, with a regular A team (supported on occasions by various members from the B team) and a choice of very able players for the B team.

The U14A had a relatively successful season winning four games, drawing two and losing two. The latter two games were to very strong opposition of Queen Margaret's and Barnard Castle - Barnard Castle's most successful team ever! The first game of the season was memorable because of the torrential rain which resulted in St. Aidan's "all weather" becoming a series of lakes and mud banks making it impossible for St. Peter's to score the goals they richly deserved! The team played with determination and enthusiasm throughout the season, improving both personal skills and tactical play, supporting one another whenever necessary. As goalkeeper, Helen Ashman made some very fine saves and made very good progress throughout the season. Emma Hammill and Ellie Burton (although not the largest of backs!) proved very able in defence, tackling and clearing the ball well. The halves Kirsty Dallas, Alice Scruton, Amy Taylor and Catherine McTurk worked well in defence and linking with attacking play, with Catherine playing important roles in setting up and scoring goals.

Catherine was a very strong and reliable member of the team. The regular forwards of Kate Richardson, Lucy Taylor, Pippa Bailey, Kate Mellor and

Girls House Hockey This was closely contested throughout, particularly between Temple, Dronfield and Grove. There was a great spirit and good standard of hockey from all teams. In the end the result was tight; despite a couple of drawn games. Temple were undefeated and so edged ahead of second placed Dronfield.

Netball Netball 1st, 2nd and 3rd VII Nearly thirty 5th and 6th forms attended the team practice for the Senior Netball Teams. This shows the strength and depth that there is amongst the girls for team games. Although 35 are listed as having played for the squads it was probably nearer 40 by the time a few last minute replacements were dragged in! The season was very busy with 36 matches played and although not listed as such the 5th forms often played together as a 3rd team, despite all being U16.

College of York St John and again there was only one goal difference in the final score.

The numbers playing for the 2nd and 3rd teams show the enthusiasm and talent that the school has. It is not usual to have 4 shooters available for the 2nd team and there was very little to choose between the players.

As usual I thank all those who played, coached and umpired and look forward to more success next year.

1st, 2nd and 3rd VII Results:

The 1st VII again had an excellent season. Although only Clare Fletcher had been awarded colours, 5 of the squad had represented the team the previous year. Only 8 players played for the team during the season and this led to good team support and a high morale.

As usual trial exams decimated the first games sessions. However, the team did well to beat a fit, competitive side from Welbeck College. York College fielded a strong team that had reached the National Finals and it was due to the superior shooting from Helen Katsarelis and Sarah Kinnell that the girls won by a margin of 16 goals. Hartlepool 6th Form College were visiting the area and asked to play us during the morning of 2nd February.

This was one of the best games of the season, although not reflected in the score. The defence of Clare, Charlotte Ware and Jenna Sillars were in excellent form whilst the shooters continued to play very consistently.

After a couple of hours rest they returned to the court for a convincing win over Durham.

The 1st VII lost only 2 of their fixtures in games that couldn't have been more of a contrast. We played Bradford Girls Grammar School for the first time at this level and despite their far superior numbers, lost only by 2 goals. The game was very competitive but played with a pleasant and friendly spirit throughout. They lost the following week to Hymers College in a high scoring game of over 60 goals in the hour of play. The score at the final whistle was 31-32. However, the game was played in an unpleasant atmosphere where winning was all, and I question the value of these matches at school level.

The team was soon back on track with good wins over Joseph Rowntree, Worksop College and Queen Margaret's. Another high scoring game with 90 goals scored saw All Saints defeated by 2 goals.

I said last year that the team of 2001 would be a hard act to follow. This year's team lived up to all expectations and performed well at all times.

Enthusiasm for away fixtures was helped by the distribution of Nestle chocolates and Clare captained well although she rated the opposition on the friendliness and conversation of her opposing goal shooter! All the squad left in the summer and I wish them well.

The 2nd and 3rd teams had a total of 22 fixtures, with a few included for the U16s and 4th team. They mostly enjoyed excellent wins with a large goal difference. Only 3 of the fixtures were lost and 2 of these were against schools who fielded a 1st VII against our 2nds. The Sedbergh fixture could have gone either way, and the girls were unlucky to lose.

Bootham had a strong year group and our shooters were not at their best on that day. A competitive match was played against a team from the The Peterite 2001-2002

U15 Netball Overall, the results were very mixed for both the A and B squads with both teams managing to win just over half of their matches. In some instances the opposition was very strong, notably the three local schools, who concentrate mainly on playing netball throughout both the autumn and spring terms.

I felt the A team made excellent progress throughout the season improving upon their skills and peripheral vision, anticipating moves, improving tactical play. Their style matured considerably as did their confidence. Well done to all players for their keenness and enthusiasm, particularly Sally McLaren and Sarah Welsh, who literally threw herself into many situations determined to win the ball. Lauren Walker ably stood in as a shooter for Pamela Kinnell on several occasions for the A team. The most memorable game of the season was against Bradford Grammar - memorable for two reasons, notably the bus driver mistakenly taking us to the boys' school initially and then upon arrival at the correct school for the very exciting game which followed. After the first quarter, St Peter's were losing 1 - 6, but with determination played extremely well to be in the lead by 23 - 20 by the middle of the last quarter. However, some unlucky shooting by St Peter's in the last few minutes allowed Bradford Grammar to storm ahead and win by a goal in the last few seconds of the game.

There were many able players available for B team selection. Lizzie Fishley proved to be a very able captain and a strong link in the team playing several positions. Vicky Rounding was a regular shooter who maintained a steady influence. Sally Henderson improved upon her shooting skills and positional play. Tori Janes worked hard to improve her goal keeping skills.

S Crompton, C Baig, B Tallack and S Rose proved to be competent centre court players. D Buckley made excellent progress, substituting competently on several occasions. B Lloyd, H Round, and H Hughes volunteered to play at the last minute on a day of many illnesses and are to be congratulated upon their fine performances against Hymers.

The following girls represented the A team: H Thomas, P Kinnell, L Walker, S Ottewell, S McLaren, G Duke, S Welsh, J Westmoreland, L Fishley.

U14 Netball From the outset the 'A' team looked strong, determined and showed a good team spirit. One example of this was the 13-10 win at Worksop where they played with only 6 players for a quarter when one of ours was injured - they simply were not going to lose! Yayra Adoboli and Lorna Emery combined very well in the shooting circle with Lorna showing good spatial awareness. In attack Pippa Bailey and Kate Richardson played strongly, Pippa feeding accurately into the shooters and Kate dominating in the centre. Catherine McTurk at wing defence marked extremely well, often keeping the oppositions wing attack more or less out of the game, while Rachel Mayne showed good timing in her interceptions. Both she and Catherine always stepped up a gear when the games were tight.

Bryony Pring played a very good goalkeeper all season - this was a steep learning curve for her as she started off as a shooter! Katie Hawking stepped in on occasion and she too played with determination.

The best games of the season were the closest. The Mount tested them, particularly at the start, so did Huntington. Bootham was an excellent game, played inside, and was perhaps closer than the score suggests. They only lost one game, this to All Saints, a very strong netball school. The team for once played a very poor first half, and although their passes were more accurate in the second, they could never quite get back on equal terms. They finished the term with 11 wins out of 12, which speaks for itself. This is a team with very good potential, so long as they realise there is a lot more to learn!

The 'B's also showed determination. Many a team would have been downhearted with 3 defeats to start but they bounced back and finished strongly with wins against Hymers and Pocklington. To put their results into context it should be noted that several of their losses were against 'A' teams.

Helen Ashman and Robyn Webster were a strong shooting pair, rarely flustered in the circle. Particularly effective in the centre were Katie Hawking and Liza Gowen. Kate Ashworth showed steady improvement and Phoebe Harrison was very reliable. Alice Scruton, who played most games as goalkeeper, marked very well.

Many more girls also had the chance to play and as a group they were a real pleasure to coach, always receptive to ideas and played their matches in a pleasant but competitive spirit.

very committed and make every effort to play in the fixtures when I can arrange them!

The results speak for themselves with only one match lost and this by the narrowest of margins - the final deciding set was lost 5-6. The team looked tired and jaded against Worksop, as they were by this time well into the exam schedule.

The team of Jenny, Liz, Alex, and Clare won the U18 York and District League with the loss of only two sets. They all play both doubles and singles to a high level and have proved a committed, enthusiastic and talented team.

In particular I thank Jenny for all her efforts over the years and as Captain this season. It will not be as easy to win without her in the team!

Girls' Tennis 1st and 2nd VI Girl's Tennis The first Saturday of the term saw the first round of the inter house tennis. It is always good to watch as the matches often bring out a competitive edge to the most laid back of players!!

The 1st team still had three of the four best players from the previous year and Jenny Ashley was playing in the 1st Team for the fourth year. Hannah Smith had partnered her for the previous years and it was a shame that due to illness she missed the season. Jenny partnered Liz Brotheridge and they won all their matches without dropping a set. A formidable couple indeed!

Clare Fletcher and Alex Kaars-Sijpesteijn formed a new pairing and played with great consistency at both doubles and singles. Helen Slee and Lucy Collier played as 3rd pair and made progress throughout the term. They too have partnered each other for several years, and have developed attacking ground strokes.

The 2nd VI had only a few matches, as the weeks when they are at school and not in exams seem to get ever fewer. The girls are generally The Peterite 2001-2002

U15 Tennis The team played well throughout the season, and were only narrowly beaten in the Under 15 girls HSBC League by Queen Margaret's, losing 15 in a well contested game. Georgina Duke and Sally McClaren had some fine performances at Number one pair, and their tennis matured over the summer months. Georgy in particular is a strong hitter of the ball, and will continue to do well at senior level. Our First pair were runners-up in the York and District Tennis Tournament, and qualified for the next round.

The team was captained by Chloe Burns who played at second pair with Sophie Ottewell, and they also had some good wins. Overall, the team tried hard; they are enthusiastic, but need to keep practising and concentrating.

U14 Tennis The tennis season is always one to savour, born out of the pleasure of warm afternoons and the prospect that should it rain - tomorrow might be OK. With that in mind, the U14s practiced hard relishing the opportunity to compete and develop their game. With each match they played, their confidence grew and the team was boosted by the arrival of new girl Lucy Buchanan in the Easter term. She quickly joined regular team members.

Match victories against Pocklington and The Mount contributed to a confidence boost. Pippa rolled in her big forehand as did Lucy, with Catherine playing a steadfast game that has paid so many dividends over the season - no more so than when playing Selby Tennis Club when she defeated Emily Edmondson in her singles rubber 6-1.

Lorna and Robyn contributed well over the season, with Robyn unleashing the occasional ace that shouldn't have taken her by surprise as often as it did! Helen was often drawn to the net with a natural approach shot and we're looking forward to keeping her there in the forthcoming season.

Sport

The Junior girls also performed admirably coming 2nd in the team Event. Particular commendation goes to: Katie Mellors - 6th, Emma Hammill - 8th.

Lara Gibbs then went on to finish 2nd in the North Yorkshire Championship, representing her County in the English Schools Cross Country Championships.

Girls' Athletics

Girl's Inter - House Tennis Tennis House Matches were a shock to the system on the first Saturday of the summer term. The weather as usual was not conclusive to the overall enjoyment of the occasion. The early rounds were well contested but a strong side from Temple had a convincing 7-2 win over the Rise and retained the trophy for the second year.

The Under 14s and 15s had two matches, the first against Barnard Castle and the second against Queen Margarets. Though both were lost, some results were very close and the Under 15s only lost to Queen Margarets by 3 points. The following girls gave very good performances: Sarah Crompton (200m), Sally McLaren (javelin), Sally Henderson (1500m), Georgie Duke (shot), Katie Mellor (800m), Catherine McTurk (javelin), Emma Hammill (1500m) and Liza Gowen (long jump). The seniors had a friendly match against Ampleforth which they won, some girls surprising themselves at what they could do in events not tried for a very long time!

Everyone enjoyed watching Lara Gibbs' seemingly effortless run in the 1500m.

In the Independent Schools Athletics Championships both Under 14 and 15 teams finished a creditable 7th out of 14 schools (though the Under 14s would have finished much higher but for a disqualification in the relay). At the York and District Athletics Trials, Catherine McTurk (javelin) and Katie Mellor (800m) were chosen to represent the area. Katie later went on to win the 800m in the County Championships and to represent North Yorkshire against Humberside.

The Newman Trophy for effort and achievement in Athletics was awarded to Katie Mellor who had an excellent season.

Friday nights' practices showed great progress being made in both batting and fielding skills which proved evident in the matches. The combination of excellent bowling, backstop and first post play by Tory Janes, Lizzie Fishley and Sally McLaren respectively resulted in the opposition being put out very soon within an innings. Excellent deep fielding from Sarah Welsh and Pamela Kinnell into second post and third post saw the loss of many more batsmen. The determined batting by Georgie Duke, Sophie Rose, and Pamela Kinnell in particular, saw many whole and half rounders being accumulated to obtain high scores.

The following represented the U15 A Et B teams: C Baig, P Boxall, D Buckley, C Burns, S Crompton, K Dabbs, G Duke, L Eastwood, E Fishley, S Henderson, V Janes, P Kinnell, S McLaren, J Miller, S Ottewell, S Rose, H Thomas, L Walker, S Waugh and S Welsh.

Under 14 Rounders The 'A' team had a very successful season and won all their matches. The two most exciting fixtures were against Bootham which they only just managed to win by 1/2 a rounder, and Harrogate Ladies College which they only won in the last minute. Rachel Mayne was an excellent fast bowler with Pip Bailey coping very well with the speed of the ball at backstop. Throughout the season Robyn Webster showed very quick reactions at second post. Catherine McTurk made several good running catches at second deep and was also outstanding at batting. Pip Bailey was the other player who had the ability to hit over the deep fielders' heads. Kirstie Dallas and Emma Hammill came in to the team halfway through the season and both played with determination.

The squash team had a mixed season as shown by the results. The girls were able racquets players and we seem to beat opposition quite easily when the players are "school produced". However against schools such as Bradford Girls there is a gulf between their club standard players and our pupils none of whom play club matches.

In the matches played, Liz Brotheridge and Jenny Ashley showed what talented racquet players they are. They had notable wins on both occasions at number one and two strings respectively against Queen Margarets.

Although we lost lower down, Georgie Aeons had a close home match losing 7 - 9 in the final game.

The 'B' team played much better than the results suggeste. Rhiannon Thomas and Rebecca Dawson made a good bowler/backstop combination.

Helen Ashman and Katie Hawking fielded well at posts. Laura Howard, Helen Gray and Kate Ashworth all played steadily in the deep field.

Charlotte Buckley was outstanding in both batting and fielding. They played some strong opposition and were often unlucky, but nevertheless played with good spirit.

Everyone was saddened to hear of Hannah Smith's illness. Her contribution as Captain, and her efforts both on and off the court were very much missed. It was also unfortunate that Ruth Wainaina missed most of the matches due to illness. Three visiting local teams cancelled at short notice to make this a less than memorable year.

Many thanks to the stalwart supporters who, on occasions had to use their blankets to keep out the cold, rather than to sit on! Also to the girls who always made the matches very enjoyable to umpire.

The Upper Sixth of Jenny, Hannah, Georgie and Rose have played senior squash for the last four years. Along with Liz they have always put in a great deal of effort, commitment and enthusiasm and have become very useful team members.

As usual we have many enthusiastic younger pupils keen to play team squash. Sadly by the time you read this we will have lost our beloved school squash courts. Hundreds of pupils have benefited from learning to play squash on them. Let us hope that they will be replaced in the near future.

The girls were very impressive this year - they worked hard, showed great commitment and were always in good spirits. They rallied round when the odds were against them (such as in flu epidemics) to swim in different

was a magnificent effort considering this was against the best schools from all over Britain.

The following girls represented the team: Jenny Hoggard, Sarah Kinnell, Sarah Wood, Sally Henderson and Pamela Kinnell.

My thanks go to all swimmers in the squad, to the girls who acted as timekeepers and scorers for the matches, to Lyndsay for captaining the team and the many parents for their continuing support.

Senior Swimming Team: L Burrell, E Farquharson, S Ford, L Heaps, J Hoggard, S Kinnell, S Thompson, S Wood.

Under 15: K Dabbs, G Duke, S Henderson, V Janes,.

P Kinnell, H Round, H Thomas.

Under 14: L Binks, H Code, R Craven, E Hammill, R Jacobs, C McTurk, B Pring, A Taylor, L Taylor, R Thomas.

events, some girls even volunteering to come out of "retirement" to swim!

It was therefore gratifying that they achieved the results they deserved 12 wins and only 1 loss.

Lyndsay Burrell captained the team well and swam with great efficiency on a variety of strokes. The senior were a very talented team and the closest result of any match was the 10 point margin against Queen Margarets (39-29). Jenny Hoggard and Sarah Kinnell were outstanding swimmers and gave wonderful demonstration swims throughout the season. Jenny represented Yorkshire and Humberside at the National Championships and was ranked 3rd at 'Fly in the 16 year old age group for Britain, an excellent achievement. In February she went on to become Yorkshire Champion in all distances for 'Fly and to pick up 2 bronze medals in the Women's age group. Despite their outside swimming commitments neither Jenny nor Sarah have missed a school match. Sarah Thompson swam well on Freestyle as did Laura Heaps on Breaststroke. Sarah Wood swam strongly on Back, 'Fly and Freestyle. The team was well supported by Samantha Ford and Emma Farquharson who both swam on occasions.

The Under 15s improved greatly on their performances from last year, only losing once. Sally Henderson was the outstanding swimmer, turning in some excellent times on 'Fly and Freestyle and winning all her races.

Pamela Kinnell swam with great style and Georgie Duke with strength to gain valuable points. Helen Round also swam with determination.

The Under 14s started weakly but finished the year with much greater conviction. They were certainly to be commended for their hard work.

Catherine McTurk was very strong on Backstroke and Freestyle. Other team members who showed great improvement were Rebecca Jacobs, Amy Taylor, Lucy Taylor and Harriet Code.

Success was not to be had at The John Parry Relays this year, but even so they acquitted themselves well. The Senior Medley team beat the old record but still only managed 2nd! But there was to be huge success at Crystal Palace at The National Relay Finals. Many lunchtimes were spent ploughing up and down Yearsley Baths in order to get used to long course swimming. This paid off and the girls swam even faster than expected. The resulting silver medal in the Freestyle Final and bronze in the Medley Final The Peterite 2001-2002

Last year's losses to university had left the ranks somewhat depleted, with just Charlie Strickland-Constable, Alex Woodrow, Charlotte Drummond and myself remaining. However, word had clearly got around, and we had new recruits throughout the year. Daniel Telfer and Greg Steel returned to fencing early in the Autumn term in time for our first match. This was

a closely fought contest against Ampleforth College which we narrowly lost. However, the season was yet young, and the next match against the Army Foundation College, Harrogate, was a success. Our greatest weapon was proving to be surprise. Charlotte's disarming smile was belied by her ruthless blade work on the piste; and as for Alex and Charlie, well, beneath those mild-mannered exteriors Towards the end of the term, we were joined by Alex Mullings, who brought with him the unusual tactic of confusing his opponents by falling over during important points. A last match against Bootham School was turned into an individual tournament when half the Bootham team failed to show.

The Easter term saw the arrival of our novices, Laura Binks, Kirstie Dallas, Rebecca Dodson and Brook Adams, whom we expect to form the backbone of next year's squad. This term also saw a further four matches, two against Bootham and two against the Army. All were fought with a good standard of fencing and sportsmanship, and we notched up two further wins. All in all, the year's result was three victories to three defeats, with Charlotte Drummond winning the greatest number of individual fights overall.

In addition, the following British Fencing Association Achievement Awards were taken and passed this year. These awards are given for mastering skills and techniques on a graded scale.
