Annual celebration of school life
Action from our Old Girls' hockey game on Founders' Weekend
Old Girls’ claimed school bragging rights to claim the annual Natalie Kate Moss Shield.
Pupils past and present clashed on Saturday, September 17 in the Founders’ Weekend contest, which saw the elder stateswomen overcome their opponents 4-0.
Pupils old and new competing
The shield, which is played in the memory of Natalie, also saw the sides battle it out on the netball court, which saw the Old Girls’ triumph again against a spirited first VII effort.
Fighting for possession
Standout performances came from Emily Cashell and Elinor Davies, but the Old Girls’ experience at club and county level shone through on the day which saw them retain the shield.
Mrs Head, said: “It was once again a successful weekend where we welcomed the return of pupils who left the school up to 14 years ago.
“The Old girls’ put out a fantastic display of netball, but our team did not let this deter their efforts."
Nick Dundee on the attack
Pupils old and new took to the field on Sunday, September 18 for the return of the Rydal Vikings contest, which returned to Founders’ Weekend following a five year absence.
