The first U16A football game of the term took place this week against Claires Court, Milo Taylor played well for the duration of the match developing an understanding with strike partner Ruairi van Raalte as the game went on. He made various good runs creating space by taking defenders away, allowing Ruairi to weave his magic in the 6 yard box. He also linked up well with Tom Lewis and Matt Pollard down the left flank with some lovely passing moves. Mr Rowlinson (coach and manager) could sense his frustration toward the end of the game but feels there is no doubt the goals will come for him! Ben Markham came on for the last few minutes of the game replacing Milo who had cramp. He did well holding up the ball waiting for others to support then laying the ball off. He could sense that what was needed was to just keep possession of the ball and run down the clock as the opposition needed two goals to draw level. Shiplake managed to see the game out and won by 4 goals to 2.

Barcelona
Anna Proctor and Kit Bowerin were among the Y13 BTEC Travel and Tourism students that travelled to Barcelona for a three day trip to support their studies of European destinations. Highlights included a trip to Nou Camp- the home of FC Barcelona, the world famous ‘Las Ramblas’ market, the Castle, Olympic park and Sagrada Famialia. They also enjoyed time in an aquarium, on the redeveloped riverfront, a trip in a cable car to Montjuc (Anna is pictured below in the cable car) and good food in the evenings.

Natural History
Not only are our grounds fantastic to look at, they harbour lots of interesting fauna and flora. Part of our grounds are a County Wildlife site, home to the rare Loddon Lily. Of more interest to most people though are the fauna - some of which were recently captured on camera by Head groundsman Richard Evans, lurking in the wooded area below Everett. Badger, Mink, Fox and Muntjac.

Anna scores 6 goals in win over MCS
Anna Proctor was part of the successful Girls netball team, pictured below, who beat Magdalen College this week 14-9, a great victory over a much bigger school with far more girls. Despite falling behind early in the first half the Shiplake girls warmed to their task with their handling skills becoming more assured, the Shiplake girls raised their intensity and became more aggressive in their tackling, limiting MCS’s passing options. Anna Proctor’s clinical finishing helped her to find the net no less than six times! Well done Anna.
