Talbot's House

Friday celebration 6/11/15

It was hard to believe we had only been back to school for 5 days as we all met together. Everyone is back into the swing of things quickly and as ever, the lads are keeping very busy and achieving much.

There were two major achievements to be celebrated:

Firstly, Tom was called up to the England U18 Hockey squad for the second year in a row afetr leading his regional team to victory in the trials the weekend before.

Secondly, Sam, Ben.W and Tizian were all part of the choir preparing to perform at the royal Albert hall for the British Legion remembrance service.

Aside from that, Leon represented the house in the the junior badminto competition where we came third and Jonny, Fuga and Sasha.K were part of the ever improving water polo team's game against BMS.

The following were all selected for Rugby matches against Warwick:
U14 B Brady, U14B Dan, U15D Dan, U15C Lennart, U15A Leon. In the U16s the C team included J.Lo, Dom, Gulli and Sam (though he couldn't play of course!). George, Teepee and Sasha were in the B team with Sasha reminding the house he was starting this week! George.S was selected on the wing for the As. Alex.S made it into the 4ths with John and Ed part of the 3rd team's quest for an unbeaten season. Ben.K was picked for his first game of the season in the seconds alongside Harty boy.

11 and King of merits was Luke!

This week's room of the week went to henry and Frank - great effort lads.

Top Bloke, chosen by the house options, was Tizian for his ongoing emrit accumualtions and being part of the choir for the big performance on TV.

Man of the week was Tom, not for his international callup, but the way he handles such things with humility and grace, still helps others and had been particularly charitable!
