The annual inter-house cross-country competition took place on a wintry afternoon on March 10^th.  The cold conditions and soggy ground made running difficult, however many of the boys put in some magnificent performances for their houses. 

 

Despite only winning the Year 5 group, Balls’ consistently low scoring throughout all of the year groups brought them the Inter-House Cross Country Championship.  They always had a runner in the top five and all of their runners were in positions within the top twenty of their respective year group.  A great all round performance from all of the boys of Balls house – well done!

 

 

 

Whilst there were great individual performances it was vital that each boy tried their very best as it was the position of the first 5 (Yr. 3/4) or 6 (Yr. 5/6) boys from each house that counted to the house score. For example; if the Year 5 Tonkin’s boys finished in 1^st, 5^th, 7^th, 15^th, 19^th and 20^th, these would be added together and Tonkins would have a total of 67 points added to their score.  It was the total house score of all four year groups that decided the Inter-House Cross Country Champions.
