They then played, and defeated Queen Anne’s in the final. A convincing 14-9 in the final v Stowe saw the girls win the tournament for the first time, which was a fantastic achievement (trophy to be presented in the near future).
Rugby 7s
KES Stratford Tournament: The U18s qualified for the semi-final, where they played Stowe. Despite a strong performance, they narrowly lost 21-19.
KES Birmingham Tournament: The U12s played extremely well, winning three and losing three. In this round robin format, it is hard to work out exactly where they finished – roughly 6th of 16.
Tennis
National Team Tennis Finals – Bolton
The team started with a convincing 6-0 win v Perse with Sammy Lion-Cachet and Dan Milner playing well. They then moved on to play Felsted who had looked strong in their first game. However, excellent starts from Alex Ridley & Josh Wierszycki soon saw MCS ahead and they went on to win 5-1.
The boys then played Rugby in what was effectively a semi-final. Another convincing 5-1 win saw them into the final. Ridley and Wiersyzcki won their singles sets before Max Chopping produced what Mr Tuck describes as the ‘set of the tournament’ to win and put MCS ahead 3-0. Another win in the doubles saw MCS win by 4 sets to 2, and retain their National Title.

The individual race winners were:
Junior Boys –Freddie Jones
