Sixth Form Sporting Opportunities
Rugby- For the first time in over 15 years the College was able to put out a 1st XV team in an U19 tournament played at Sandbach rugby club this February.
Overall the team of mainly Year 11 and 12 pupils with only two Year 13 pupils did the College proud and one must consider that all the boys were playing against many players older than themselves. All players were outstanding but by common consent all the coaches of the other teams voted Alex Schwarz player of the tournament.
The Under 18 ISA tournament in Cheltenham in late April allowed the boys to demonstrate further their ability and they finished as highly creditable runners up.
Football- the 1st XI football team also competed with enthusiasm in 2 fixtures against Shrewsbury school and an exciting friendly against King’s school. The highlight of the season was their performance at Oswestry School where they triumphed 5-1.
Cricket- early season fixtures against The Grange and Fallibroome, Macclesfield has again shown the growing depth of sporting talent at the senior end of the College. Edward Speakman proved himself to be a highly capable all rounder, with Jon Steventon and Rob Marks also showing great promise. Next year this team will also have many current Year 11’s providing the backbone for a highly talented team.
The Chapel Choir led Evensong at the Abbey to over 600 visitors every evening.
