This week

Good luck to the 2nd XI, U16 and U14 hockey sides competing in the regional finals on Thursday, the U19, U16 and U14 netball sides in the county finals, and the cross country inter girls and boys at the national finals at Woodbridge.

Cross country

We held a very successful Junior Knole Run on Friday, with 484 boys and girls from 43 schools competing in a very misty Knole Park. Congratulations to the winners, The Judd School (boys) and The Coopers’ Company and Coborn School (girls). The Sevenoaks School boys’ team took sixth place and the girls tenth – well done to all, and especially Tim McLain (Year 7) who came fifth. Thanks to all involved especially Cath Nicholson, Sandra Jordan and Craig Moore for their excellent organisation of the event, and thank you to Lord Sackville, the National Trust and the Knole Estate for giving permission to use the park.

The inter boys made the 4 x 50m freestyle final finishing as seventh best team in the country and also the 4 x 50m medley final and finished eighth. The junior girls finished seventh in the 4 x 50m freestyle final.

Tennis

Massive congratulations to the Year 7-8 team who finished second at the regional finals. They won their semi-final 5-1 but eventually lost to Culford in the final.
