Inter-House Gala  - Fine Performances and Good Spirit on the Stands

Last Thursday evening we enjoyed a most successful Inter-House Gala.  This is the first time that the event has been held in the evening for some years and we have receive positive feedback in this regard.  The spirit of the boys on the stands supporting their houses was excellent and it was great to have the many parents present who were able to turn out to support their boys.  In the pool there were many fine performances, which reflected the strength of Swimming in the school at present.  Competition was keen and this contributed to the number of school records being broken over the past few weeks.

Age group champions Matthew Hancock (Under 14), Niall Morley (Under 15), Blayne Duffy (Under 16), Dempsey Bailey (Under 17) and Luke Gaffney (Open) are to be congratulated on their achievements.  Blayne Duffy, Dempsey Bailey, Fabien Ruszczynski and Luke Gaffney are to be congratulated on their achieving new school records. College house are to be congratulated on lifting the Inter-House Swimming Trophy.  A full record of results and records is included in the newsletter.
