Last week's Rugby report
Despite the rugby season being
officially over, the club is still going strong with Cup finals, the 1st
XV doing well in the National Cup and even some 7s creeping in. This, along
with a jam packed term of Dunbar rugby means that the sport is still going
strong.
DM
This week saw Dunbar play their
first matches of the term against Hall Grove. Despite just a couple of training
sessions, the teams went into the matches with incredible enthusiasm and put
together some excellent displays. The A team put Hall Grove to the sword,
running in tries from all over the pitch. The 41-0 scoreline reflected their
dominance and points to an exciting season ahead. The B team were unlucky that
their match was cancelled in the first 10 minutes after a horrendous injury to
an opposing player – we al wish him a speedy recovery.
Elsewhere, the 1st XV
continued in the NatWest Vase, hosting Churcher’s. After narrowly losing out to
them under lights at Newbury earlier in the season, this was always going to be
a tight affair and despite Pangbourne going up at the break, Churcher’s fought
their way back into the game. Some fantastic defence by the ‘Red Army’ held
them up over the line on numerous occasions and the game finished 22-16. The 1st
XV now progress to the Vase Regional Final where they play Cokethorpe on
Wednesday 27th January at the College.
Finally, on Friday both the U14 and
U15 squads travelled to Maidenhead RFC to play in the County Cup Finals. After
two impressive seasons, both squads went into the game confidently, determined
to round off the season in style. The U14s played Reading Blue Coats and
despite playing their hearts out lost the match 12-10. However, this should not
take the shine off their incredible season.
The U15s went one better, becoming
County Champions after beating the Piggott School 39-7. This was a display full
of quality by both individuals and the team. They finish the season with an
enviable record (played 17, won 15) and are an exciting group to watch as they
progress through the College.Wednesday, 20 January 2016

Mr
Cane-Hardy’s response
|
Can we have more
mirrors?
|
Whilst
I encourage you to pay close attention to your appearance I believe there are
enough mirrors in the hallways and bathrooms. Alternatively you could buy a
hand-held mirror and carry it with you at all times. Mr Paynter has one and I’m
sure he’ll tell you where he got his.
|
Can the day boys
have book shelves and a desk in the day room?
|
Good
idea – I will speak to the maintenance dept. Space on the walls might be an
issue.
|
We’d like
milkshakes in the afternoon
|
I’m
sure you would! This might be an occasional thing rather than regular house
drink.
|
More marmite
|
Sure
– I’ll let Gail know.
|
We need a place
to store valuables
|
You
have lockers and there is a house safe to store any valuables.
|
The milk goes too
quickly – day boys don’t get any
|
Agreed
– the milk is for tea / coffee, rather than milkshakes and energy drinks. I’ll
speak with the house.
|
Can room 1 have a
sofa?
|
No
– it’s a room for working. There are sofas in the Gun Room.
|
House yoga in the
Gun Room?
|
Great
idea – I’ll look into it. Perhaps we can buy a yoga DVD and have sessions
during enrichment?
|
Can we replace
orange cups with disposable plastic cups?
|
This
is a standing item – the answer remains no!
|
Can we have a
dart board?
|
I’ve
purchased two velcro dart boards for the house. How long will it be before
all the darts are lost?
|
Can we have
consistency in the concentration of squash?
|
Very
fussy! I’ll speak with Gail .
|
When will the
windows be cleaned?
|
I’ll
ask
|
Fix wall in room
30
|
There
is now a rolling programme of maintenance so I hope this (and the Gun Room
carpet) will be done soon.
|
Can we have Earl
Grey team in the Galley?
|
Presumably
this has come from Tom Nash. Would you also like cucumber sandwiches in the
afternoon? Scones?
|
When is the next
U6 ale society?
|
Absolutely
– Tuesday 19 January, 21.00
|
Can the carpet be replaced in the Gun Room?
|
See
above
|
Can we have sun
loungers outside in the Summer term?
|
Great
idea – I’m sure you will revise really well on them.
|
Can we have some
inter-house competitions?
|
Very
keen to do this but the lack of light in the evenings and busy day has
prevented this so far. We can have football etc. in the summer term. In the
meantime I would be delighted if the U6 organised inter-house pool / table
tennis. I’ll ask Mr Phillips to run another quiz in the next couple of weeks.
