1XV & 15A NatWest Vase Rugby

The 1XV and u15A teams both won their NatWest Vase rugby matches today. Some excellent performances from the Hesperus boys involved:

1XV - Hugo Harvey, Ollie Norman, Stuart McLeish, Harry Farrant, Joe Holloran
15A - Ben Hart, Adam Harris

 

 

 

Hesperus book their place in the Div. Debating Final!

Hesperus won a close fought debate against Harbinger this evening. Both teams produced very effective arguments and the questions from the floor were considered and passionate! However, Hesperus had the edge and we now face Macquarie in the final on Monday 9 December.

Shannon Webb and David Morgan were judged to be the best speakers on the night. However, the contributions of Nat Rennie and Olly Rogers proved vital and the team (along with Team Manager, Jack Earl) should all be congratulated on their thorough preparation.
