Lorem ipsum The 1st hockey team has registered 13 wins; 1 draw and 1 loss during the course of the National U18 Plate competition in what has been a busy term with regular weekend fixtures. Defeating Scarborough in a tightly fought semi-final with the team battling fatigue as much as a determined opponent, Abingdon held firm to score 5-1 in a well deserved result, putting them into the final. This will be held at Lee Valley on 24 April, where they will play Bradfield College. We wish them all the best of luck.

Competitors had 5½ hours to attempt 12 boulder problems, 10 top-rope routes and 8 lead routes; with students earning more points for completing harder routes or using fewer attempts to top them.
