Hesperus v Macquarie Table Tennis

Hesperus lost their first Div. Table Tennis fixture of the season 2-3 to Macquarie. However, it was a closely fought match and we can take heart from good wins by Ed Montgomery and debutant, Oliver Norman.

A-Level Music

Zach Adams demonstrated his ability on the drums as he played an excellent piece in the A-level evening recital. As they were recording when he played I couldn't take photos, however, Zach posed for some very convincing shots afterwards!

 

 

Div. Debating

Unfortunately Hesperus lost in the debating competition this evening. We had the difficult task of arguing for the Queen's abdication and the judges decided Macquarie put forward a more compelling case.

However, we can be proud of the team's efforts and some excellent questions. Well done to Jack Earl, Finn Slevin and Issy Metcalfe.
