Friday Celebration 07/06/2019


It has been a week of focused work as the men of Talbot's have approached their exams with vigor, but still a healthy mindset, especially enjoying some outside time in the sunshine earlier in the week.


In sports
Tom was part of the victorious U17 cricket side and Alex performed very well in Thursday's athletics multi-events.

Tomorrow we have:
Cricket: 1sts - Tom
Rowing: Henry in a J16 double and an octo, Makar making his rowing debut in a coxed quad, Max also in a coxed quad and an octo, Leo in an octo, Aslan also in an octo, Orlando is a J15 coxed four and an octo, too.
Tizian, Moritz and Simon are all in the 1st 8 Tennis against Oakham.
Athletics has Alex running and jumping at Abingdon.

Even though it has been exam week, Joe still got 2 merits--a great effort!
