Cracking day out at the U16 Nationals at Shrewsbury. Our team all played well and with brilliant spirit. Tom and Fred reached the last 16, Alfie and Kyle had a great day in the Plate and Meghna and BeBe placed 3rd overall in the girls competition, our best ever at that level ....
Had a great day at Charterhouse today for the U16Q including Freddie T and Tom G winning the tournament! Final went to 3 sets against QEB (12-5, 13-14, 12-6). All the boys did brilliantly and were a credit to the school.
Boys in the pm slot - and it was tight at the top 3rd @ReptonNewHouse , 2nd @ReptonThePriory and 1st @ReptonTheCross who won by one game with some great fives on display. Mr Wilson's Sunday specialists retaining the trophy.
Great day of House Fives today. Girls in the am slot ended in 2 cracking semi-finals illustrating strength in depth and a tie in overall two-pair standings between @ReptonTheAbbey and @ReptonFieldHse inseparable on ranking points, points difference AND points scored!
Great day at the Richard Black Cup. Plate won in placing 5th out of 8 teams. Brilliant to welcome Celia back in Repton colours. Some cracking performances and great debut by Grace. All performed with determination showing much improvement and crucially, enjoying it throughout
Thanks to the EFA and Howard for the U16 Individual Tournament yesterday. Our boys thoroughly enjoyed competing with and against some of the strongest players in their age group.
First trip out of the year saw Bri and Meghna excel in the EFA Individual girls event at Highgate. The girls produced some great fives and thanks to Gareth and the other schools for making the event possible
Return to school has been busy and great to have plenty of fives action so far. OR day brought a great start to term for our existing players and returning ORs
Somewhat waylaid by the end of term - here are a few more from the National Schools Fives Championships - so proud of our pairs who acquitted themselves brilliantly in all senses .....
Day two and 6 pairs competing valiantly in the Under 16s competition. Stars of the day have to be Bebe and Serena who made a Quarter Final as pair 3 from a tough draw, including one scarcely believable come from behind 12-11 win. @ReptonTheMitre should be v proud of these two
Day one of the Nationals at Repton, very grateful for the support of the school and it's various teams to make the event possible. Repton players having a great time and learning loads by being stretched
Enjoyable afternoon of Junior House Fives today, pretty windy but plenty of enthusiasm on show, congrats to @ReptonTheMitre and @ReptonNewHouse who picked up the silverware π π
Great to welcome @Shrewsbury_5s and @ipswichsport to Repton on Sunday for the EFAs beginners individual event. Great development, camaraderie and skill on display- thanks to KH for the organisation and for the staff for bringing the boys and girls over
Great day out at Harrow for the Graham Turnbull trophy - good day of fives, mixed results but great to connect with some ORs and play some tough matches.
Congratulations to Matthew, Robbie and Rio on qualifying for and competing so successfully in the biggest event in the British Fencing junior calendar over the weekend. So good to see how far they have come in such a short space of time. Huge thanks to their coach, Sally. π€Ί
