The Senior Boys' and Girls' Inter-House Soccer Competition was played with great intensity whilst being played in a fantastic spirit.
In the Boys' competition, the group stages were dominated by Blackford and Old, both beating New and Lyon, whilst drawing 1-1 in a very tight match. The match between Lyon and New also ended in a 1-1 draw.
The final once again pitted Old vs Lyon, and once again, was a very close and intense match full of excellent defending and one touch passing. The match ended in a 0-0 at full time and both teams couldn’t be separated after extra time so the final went to penalties, which Old won 5-3.
The Girls' competition was also very exciting. Arion and Priory both beat Wellesley, 2-1 and 2-0 whilst the match between Arion and Priory appeared to be going the way of Priory until a last gasp equalised secured a 1-1 draw.
The final was contested between Arion and Priory and seemed to be destined for extra time and penalties until with the last touch of the game Priory snatched a 1-0 win!
