Week 7 Sports Roundup...
Hockey vs Prior Park
The boys’ hockey teams had a very competitive and closely fought block fixture with Prior Park on Saturday.
Team of the Week
1st XI - Drew 1-1
Goal - Sam
Player of the Match - Gabriel
The 1st XI followed up their fantastic midweek performance against St George’s College in the cup with a battling performance against a talented Prior Park team in cold conditions. Despite starting slowly and gifting Prior Park a 1-0 lead, the boys started to assert themselves on the game more by looking after the ball better and moving it on quickly. Consequently, King’s drew deservedly level courtesy of a goal by Sam. Gabriel was awarded Man of the Match after an excellent performance in midfield.

Equestrian
Anouska qualified for the Schools Winter Equestrian Championships.
Cross Country
King's took eleven pupils to Bryanston for the relays and each and every one of them did their best for the School. Our Intermediate Girls team came 6th out of 12 teams with Anya the fastest runner for King's.
The Senior Boys came in 5th of 8 teams, ahead of Clayesmore and Sherborne. Angus and Joe running in the Senior race and Angus was our fastest.
The Senior Girls came in 5th and Ella bravely ran two of the laps, which is no mean feat.
Huge thanks to Freya and Laura who represented the School despite their obvious trepidation. Once again, the Cross Country runners from King's were excellent company and fantastic ambassadors for the School. They have (and do) make their coaches extremely proud.
Anya and Ella were selected for the Somerset Cross Country team to compete at the ESSA Championships in Liverpool on 14th March.
