dkfjaldfjlkad dkfjaldkjlkaj September 2025 Sport Abingdon Abingdon's younger rowing crews competed at the Marlow Regatta in June, navigating a challenging river course, cheered on by enthusiastic spectators. The School entered 18 crews, with an impressive 12 reaching the finals. Five Abingdon crews clinched victories and medals, including the J14 octuple, J15 eight, J15 single, J16 single, and J18 coxed four. A special commendation went to Xav and Laurie for showcasing exceptional boatmanship. Rowers shine at Marlow Overall, it’s been a cracking season for cricket. Our final block against Warwick School saw some fantastic individual performances. Jack in the 1st XI and Will in the 2nd XI both smashed half-centuries, while Billy, Hamish, Luke, Norwyn, and Joe each snagged impressive three-wicket hauls. The summer's grand finale took the 1st XI to the Adrian Gale Festival at St John's, Leatherhead. They kicked things off with a convincing win against Oundle, thanks to Henry's stellar 62 and Benedict's solid 42, setting a total of 204. While subsequent matches against St John's and Brentwood proved tougher, Henry was deservedly named Player of the Festival. We've seen a host of outstanding individual achievements, as well as our U14s being crowned County Cup Champions – they're off to the regional rounds next year. A special shoutout goes to Jack, our 1st XI captain, who topped the batting averages (average of 52.71). And let's not forget Benedict's magnificent 117 not out against the MCC, which means he’ll be a guest at the Lords Test next summer – how exciting! 20 Cricket Lower School pupils enjoyed a very competitive afternoon of sport at Tilsley Park at the annual inter-tutor group athletics tournament. All pupils took part in a track and field event, cheered on by their peers and parents.
