Very well done to the Sevenoaks teams: the boys finished seventh, the girls’ A team came second and the girls’ B team finished fifth.

Congratulations to the winners, Judd A team and Coopers’ Coborn and thanks to Lord Sackville and the Knole Estate for their permission to hold this event in Knole Park.
