We were delighted to welcome St Michael’s School from Jersey for a visiting sports tour. The group enjoyed a swim in our pool before taking part in a morning of sport, with the boys playing football and the girls competing in hockey. After an enjoyable morning of fixtures, everyone came together over lunch before our visitors headed back to Jersey. It was a lovely opportunity to enjoy some friendly competition, meet new people and share our love of sport.
Well done to all our players for their effort, teamwork and sportsmanship throughout the week!
