playing or spectating. There was a fantastic atmosphere and
the sun shone.

The Sue Roberts Netball Cup results were first in, and the Ratcliffe
pupils’ fitness, skills and young age gave them a winning score -
Ratcliffe College: 47, Old Ratcliffians: 17. Read a full review of the
match on the following page.

The Thistlethwaite Men’s Hockey results followed, and the
School had another victory. However, the Old Boys certainly put
up a fight, and it was a very close game - Ratcliffe College: 2,
Old Ratcliffians: 1.
The Halley Football match finished last, because they ended up
playing an eight-a-side friendly against the School; the players
were having so much fun that they didn’t want to leave the pitch!
The Old Boys finally took victory in this friendly match. Simon Gray (12) receives the Halley Football Cup from
