The team performed exceptionally well

on the day and Nathania won the award

for Best Speaker in the Countr y!

Nathania spoke on the topic of

philosophy and its place in the

modern wor ld, with her speech

clear ly declar ing that philosophy

sti l l has a firm place . Aditi took

on the role as Chairper son and

Olivia as Questioner on the

topic ‘social media is making us

anything but sociable’ .

Each role had its own ski l ls

and was demanding in

different ways. The role

of the Chairper son was

to introduce the Speaker

and their topic , cal l on the

Questioner and the audience

members to put questions to

the Speaker and summar ise the

overal l presentation as par t of

their conclusion. The role of the

Questioner was to ask probing questions

with a view to el icit ing more information

from the Speaker and expanding the

discussion as a whole .

The ESU Public Speaking competit ion

develops not only the pupils ’ knowledge

of topical issues but enhances their

speech wr it ing ski l ls , their speaking and

presentation ski l ls and their abil ity to

think analytical ly on their feet, as well as

second year running that Red House

have reached the finals of the ESU

competit ion.

Nathania also gained success ear l ier this

year by competing in the finals of the

BOYS’ SPORTS REPORTBY MR CREWE AND MR KITCHING

FOOTBALLU9 FOOTBALL YARM 6 A-SIDE TOURNAMENT: WINNERS

IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE U9S HAD ENTERED THIS TOURNAMENT AND THEY PROVED TO BE OUTSTANDING AMBASSADORS FOR THE SCHOOL IN TERMS OF THEIR ENDEAVOUR, BEHAVIOUR AND THE QUALITY OF THEIR PLAY.

The boys got off to an excellent star t with a 4-1

win against Sunder land High and total ly dominated

Barnard Castle to secure a 4-0 victor y in their

second game. The third game against RGS proved

more chal lenging and we surrendered a one goal

advantage in the final minutes to lose 2-1.

We entered the semi-finals as runner s up of our

group. We were by far the better side in the

semi-final against Bow School but fai led to capital ise

on our chances. The match was decided on penalt ies

and the boys were wor thy final ists.

The final presented us with a chance to avenge

our ear l ier defeat against RGS. The chal lenge was

significant but the boys produced an exceptional

performance . The opposit ion were strong and ski l ful

but had no answer to our energy and determination.

A 1-0 victor y was secured by an outstanding goal and

the boys were able to celebrate with the trophy.

U13 FOOTBALL POLAM HALL 7 A SIDE TOURNAMENT: WINNERS

Seven teams entered this tournament and the U13s

were delighted to come away with this trophy. The

boys played a ver y enter taining brand of football and

won their fir st five games with intel l igent passing and

some cl inical finishing. Facing Sunder land High in our

final game we knew that a win or draw would secure

the si lverware . The team played with composure and

purpose and took a well deser ved lead. They looked

al l set to cruise to victor y but a late equaliser sent

ner ves jangl ing in the final minute . The draw was

sufficient and the boys could celebrate an excellent

result .

HOCKEYU11 HOCKEY NORTH OF ENGLAND FINALISTS: 4TH PLACE

THE U11S ENJOYED AN EXTENDED RUN IN THIS COMPETITION WHICH SAW THEM THROUGH TO THE COUNTY, NORTH EAST AND ULTIMATELY THE NORTH FINALS. THIS IN ITSELF IS A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT BUT THE STYLE AND MANNER OF THEIR SUCCESS WOULD SUGGEST THESE BOYS HAVE A GREAT FUTURE IN THIS SPORT.

Having quali fied for the Nor th East finals the team

overcame strong opposit ion to represent the Nor th

East at Leeds Univer sity in the Nor th finals. The finals

presented a considerable chal lenge but the team were

undaunted and played some delightful hockey. A draw,

1-1, against King’s Chester, a 2-1 win against Arnold

KEGM (Isle of Man) and a 0-0 draw with Ashvil le

College (Harrogate) saw us into the semi-final stage .

We faced Kir kham Grammar in the semi but a fai lure

to conver t chances meant we were punished in the

later stages of the match. The boys were disappointed

but, on reflection, being one of the top four

hockey schools in the Nor th of England is fantastic

achievement for a school of our size (we also finished

in the top four last year as well !) .

U12 HOCKEY DURHAM AND CLEVELAND LEAGUE: WINNERS

The U12s enjoyed an outstanding season and added to

their 7 a-side County Tournament success by winning

the Durham and Cleveland Hockey League . The

boys were unbeaten and won their games without

conceding a goal . An emphatic 5-0 win against Yarm

School was cer tainly one of the highl ights of the

season!

U16 HOCKEY NATIONAL CUP, NORTH EAST: SEMI-FINALISTS

The U16s produced an excellent performance to

beat Yarm School 2-1 in the Durham finals and were

delighted to represent Durham / Cleveland in the

next stage of this national competit ion. It was a

great shame, therefore , that we had to send a greatly

depleted side to face Yorkshire’s Amplefor th College .

Injur ies, i l lness and GCSE commitments meant that,

with the exception of one Year 11 pupil , our U15

team had to step up to the plate . The boys worked

tirelessly to produce an outstanding performance of

ski l l , resi l ience and commitment but, ult imately, the

task was beyond our young team. It was a spir ited

display that was recognised and greatly appreciated by

our opponents.

RUGBYU11 RUGBY DURHAM SCHOOL SEVENS: SEMI-FINALISTSThe U11s played with great ver ve and intensity to

produce some excellent rugby. The significance of

their achievement in reaching the semi-final of this

prestigious competit ion should not be under estimated

and, in winning their group, the boys took some

notable scalps;

• Dame Allen’s 21 - 19 W

• Merchiston Castle (Edinburgh) 26 - 12 W

• Mowden Hal 24 - 7 W

• St. Martin’s Ampleforth 26 - 7 W

• King’s School Tynemouth 21 - 0 W

The boys faced Newcastle School for Boys in the

semi-final and lost in a hard fought battle by 3 tr ies to

one .

INDIVIDUAL SUCCESSCONGRATULATIONS TO OLIVER WHO HAS WON HIS FIRST INTERNATIONAL TITLE!

Oliver recently travelled to Oslo to compete in

the U15 Norwegian Junior Squash Open. He played

outstanding in the semi-final beating the Number 1

seed Pavel Shsherbina from Russia 3-0.

In the final he faced

Sweden’s Chr istoffer

Seger stedt and

again won 3-0.

Congratulations

Oliver on

this amazing

achievement!
