Thirteen Queen ’ s College students were selected for the Taunton Area Cross Country team following the first round of selections that took place at King ’ s College before Christmas. On Saturday 21 January at RNAS Merryfield near Ilminster, the Taunton team ran to achieve selection for the Somerset team who will compete in the South West regional Cross Country championshipsin Bristol on 4 February. Huge congratulations to everyone who took part. It was a fine bright day but the course was tough with mud and ice to contend with.
Netball Our 1st VII did Queen's proud on the netball court this week. They displayed excellent teamwork, resilience and work rate throughout the match. Facing a well - drilled and athletic team didn't make for an easy match. We had to work hard to move the ball and find space when in possession. Millie , Edie and Claire did well to find space in the D to secure some outstanding goals. A huge well done on the team ’ s performance and the progress they are making as a team. The 2nds played their second game on Saturday. Everyone gave 100% playing as a team vs a strong King ’ s Bruton team. Each quarter we hit our targets and played some great netball. The player of the match was Isla.
Hockey
The U15A squad had a fantastic match this week, showing real class as they cruised to victory with a flowing performance. The boys have practised short corners and attacking principles this week, all of which were on display throughout the game and it was pleasing to see a development in the understanding of the game. In the first half, Queen ’ s scored off three short corners, and a further two in the second half. Caspar produced an excellent drag flick to open the scoring and after netting another, turned provider in setting up Tommy who also bagged three goals on the day. Archie got in on the action, scoring an excellent deflection but goal scorers aside,
this was a brilliant team performance which left the boys brimming with confidence. Read more sports news by visiting our website.
