SUCCESS IN SEASON OPENER!

The Cross-Country team set out for Lloyd Park for the Croydon Harriers School Challenge with a number of new Year 7s in the team and high hopes and expectations. The other schools competing were Tiffin, Oxted and Trinity.

The Junior team ran brilliantly in blustery conditions over a grassy course, just coming in 2nd place behind Tiffin.

Here are the Juniors on the start line...looking nervous
