Drop Down Day 3 will certainly be remembered as “the muddy one.” Despite the challenging conditions, there was some fantastic team play from Teddy P, Kai G and Jack L, alongside impressive solo efforts from Max C and Alfie S. Hlib K emerged as a new star target man, scoring a bucket‑load of well‑taken goals.
As always, Archie G and Mohammed R provided defensive solidity, while players squelched through the mud, sometimes losing a shoe (Ashton N!) or getting completely stuck altogether (Nathan W!). Coby N and Ben F were outstanding in goal, pulling off point‑blank saves and showing masterful distribution in the quagmire that was the William Parker playing fields.
All the boys represented their houses with pride and had plenty of fun along the way. Congratulations to Aer (15 points), Ignis (9 points) and joint third‑place finishers Terra and Aqua (4 points each).
Our apologies to the washing machines of Hastings and St Leonards! 😊
