Yet another busy week of Hockey last week, and we could not be more proud of the effort, attitude, skill and enthusiasm of our players. Lots of highlights and magic moments to celebrate, which you can read about in the reports below.

Senior House Matches

Our senior Hockey players embarked on what will be the final House Matches for many at Woodbridge School. The skill, decision making, goalscoring, teamwork and leadership on show by our senior students sometimes sent goosebumps down your spine – or had staff jumping for joy. The small but mighty Seckford team came out as champions, winning all their games, followed by Burwell who pipped Willard to second place on goal difference.

The senior students also set the example for the rest of the School, proudly sporting their odd socks in support of Anti-Bullying Week, showing respect and acknowledging each of our differences.

Woodbridge Juniors vs Finborough

Our Junior 1 to 4 teams hosted Finborough School on our wonderful astro. It was great to play at home again and have so much support on the sidelines. Thanks to each parent and relative who cheered on our teams.

The Junior 1st team got back to winning ways, being determined before the game to get better outcomes for all the chances they create in matches. The team started brightly but went behind when a good PC strike from Finborough took a nasty deflection, leaving no hope of a save. This only served to spur Woodbridge on, as a few minutes later, a great build up and ball into the nine-yard area by Year 8’s India (also our Player of the Match) set off Year 8’s Jasmin, who made no mistake. A while later India scored herself to send us into the lead at half time.

A ‘champagne goal’ followed from our pushback in the second half. Year 7’s Chloe driving up the right and playing the cross in which Year 8’s Ella put into the goal, 30 seconds into the half. Woodbridge was now in full control and momentum stayed in their favour. Year 8’s Jasmin scored her second before Year 8’s Lottie slot the ball into the corner of the goal from the final penalty corner of the game. Well done to the team on showing resilience, continued motivation and hard work after a couple of setbacks.

Junior 2 Team

The Junior 2s did so many good things but also have lessons to learn. As well as tightening up their defensive structure, they need to work on positioning when defending to make sure they don’t let the opposition have too much space and too much joy with the ball. The final shooting instinct and aggression just lacked in the attacking D, which saw the team play out a scoreless draw. Some strong saves from Year 8’s Imarah was needed to keep the clean sheet. Year 8’s Imogen M was Player of the Match.

Junior 3 Team

The Junior 3 team dominated their match against Finborough, hogging the possession, keeping their defence and goalkeeper incredibly busy and building pressure. The pressure told as Year 7’s Tati scored our first goal from a rebound. The second goal came from a fantastic run down the right from Year 8’s Bella, crossing the ball across the face of the goal with the last touch coming off a defender. At half time, the team were reminded to be more assertive in the 50/50 balls and keeping the ball out wide, away from the congested centre. The second half was a scrappy affair with Woodbridge badgering the Finborough D but only getting one outcome, Year 7’s Katherine putting in a short corner. Another strong result but lots to work on for next week.

Junior 4 Team

The Junior 4s, featuring a number of new players who impressed no end, secured a big win on the day. Debutant Year 7’s Elodie was Player of the Match for her overall tenacious play and two goals. Further goal scorers were: Year 7s’ Georgie and Emily (getting her second hattrick in as many weeks) and Year 8s’ India B (2), Jemima C-O (2), Maizie, Lilia and Honor (also scoring on debut for the team). Well done to this group of smiling stars.

Woodbridge U14s vs Norwich High School

The week’s fixtures were capped off by two great games from our U14A and U14B teams, both made up of Year 9 players, against Norwich High School.

The U14Bs increased in skill and confidence throughout the game, securing their win with a very promising second half in particular. Goals were scored by Sophia and Georgia F-D while Lola was the Player of the Match.

Woodbridge U14A vs Norwich High School

This match was a real battle for our Year 9 players! Norwich had four key players and controlled the game for the first five minutes. Fortunately, after several attacks we launched a counterattack and scored straight away, through Eirann. Five minutes later, Norwich scored against the run of play. The defence and midfield worked so hard and again we were on the attack.

Our attack looked dangerous and when we were able to get the ball through to them we dominated the play. It was through this that Amelie scored the first of her goals, again Norwich counterattacked and equalised, but then Amelie scored her second, which for the third time was countered, Norwich equalising again.

In the final few moments Amelie hit the post, and also had an amazing shot to top right corner saved by the keeper, who definitely kept the opposition in the game and who we named player of the match for the opposition. This was a hard-fought match but our whole team performance shone out, with impressive learning about marking, especially considering how skilled some of their players were. Ella was named Player of the Match for excellent defence.

Well done to each of our players who represented the School so well and who keep giving their best in practices and lessons. Your desire to be your best and have fun together playing is aspirational.

Every year, Woodbridge School holds various Christmas events, concerts and services – in School and in the local community; including our traditional and wonderful Christmas Carol Service at St Mary’s Church in Woodbridge.   

Meeting recently with Claire Weston, Head of Singing, she shared some special news about this year’s service, 

“I’m delighted and excited to share, that John Hutchings, who is well known to the School having played for our Carol Services and Festival of Voices for the past few years, has gifted me a set of original compositions for the Chamber Choir as part of a ‘Suffolk Ceremony of Carols’.” 

She continued,

“His compositions have been performed at Windsor Castle, the Vatican, and across the world, so this is an incredibly kind, generous and exciting gift to the choirs of Woodbridge School.”  

Talking about the donation she added,

“I’m planning to use these compositions as part of this year’s Carol Service; it’s such an honour and a privilege to be able to share this gift with the students which has been written especially for their voices, and I’m incredibly excited about this year’s Carol Service,  which will take place at St Mary’s Church on Thursday 12 December.”  

A truly delightful and amazing opportunity for our students, we will share more news of rehearsals and the service itself throughout this half of the Michaelmas term.  

Year 13 Physics students took a trip to CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire) in Geneva earlier this week, to see how their study of particle physics is being tested and applied in the real world.  Students enjoyed soaking up the culture of Geneva including Fondue and a Physics themed light show at the Museum of Art History.  

While at CERN, students paid a visit to several ongoing experiments including the Extra Low Energy Antiproton ring (ELENA) which  is a 30m hexagonal storage ring that decelerates antiproton beams, and the Gravitational Behaviour of Antimatter at Rest experiment, that measures the freefall acceleration under gravity of antimatter. 

The scientific advancements of CERN push the frontiers of technology, which has a positive impact on society globally.  Although the core mission of the laboratory is fundamental research in particle physics, it also has a remit to train the next generation of scientists and to bring nations together. Students on the private tour had the opportunity to ask questions about how to advance their study of physics further and how they can utilise their skills in the wider world. 

Woodbridge students were also followed on the tour by a camera crew filming a documentary for Rolex, to show how their funding of CERN is being used in education outreach.  This documentary will air on CNN and Rolex advertisements later this year. 

In the final interview ahead of next week’s performances of our Sixth Form production of Frankenstein, we met with Year 12’s Emily and Year 13’s Rose, playing Clarice and Elizabeth, as they were talking through a particular scene with Miss Mayes, our Head of Drama, and rehearsing together.  In this particular scene we see Victor Frankenstein’s bride post-wedding, confiding in her Maid Servant and friend Clarice about her anticipation and expectation of the night ahead.  There was much talk of how Elizabeth’s wedding gown would be removed throughout the scene, the synchronisation of script and lines with movement throughout and across the stage. 

After rehearsing, we spent time talking to Rose and Emily about their characters, stage props, costumes and also their excitement and focus ahead of performing next week.  It was wonderful to hear how they’re getting on and feeling ahead of next week’s performances! 

Year 13’s Rose, who has played many different roles in past School productions, plays Elizabeth, Victor Frankenstein’s fiancé, and now in this scene, wife.  Sharing her thoughts about the character she said,

“All the characters I’ve played in the past have been so different and varied, I’ve been so lucky and thrilled to have had these opportunities – and I’m so happy to be playing this part too.” 

She continued,

“I’m a real fan of Gothic, and it’s what I’m studying for English, and so this play and character really appealed to me.  The play itself was written at a time when women weren’t particularly vocal and life in general was more male-driven, but Elizabeth wants to learn and explore, to understand and become her own person, for herself and for Victor – she longs to make him happy and to be a good wife, which is what she has been taught to be and expected to do since birth.” 

Talking about what she feels are challenges of the role she shared,

“Finding moments of light and shade for Elizabeth has been tricky, there’s not a lot of exploration of her character in the novel, and she isn’t featured as much as one might argue she should be within the play, but it’s presented a great challenge to me in terms of presenting her to the audience as a woman who of course is afraid sometimes given the world and time in which she exists, but who desires to be more than she is already – and that can’t be told through script, it has to be suggested in the way I play her and through suggestion, tone and movement.  I really hope the audience sees Elizabeth as a fully developed character, that she’s interesting and not just a figure to further the plot or there to give Victor what he needs.” 

Asking her how she prepares ahead of a big production she explained,

“I’m getting lots of early nights, rest and preparing – that’s the key for me!  No rituals to speak of, just being on top of my lines, and making sure everything is learned and I’m prepared.” 

Year 12’s Emily plays the part of Clarice, who is not only Elizabeth’s Maid Servant, but her friend, confidant and companion in life; they share a special relationship that Emily hopes will be clear in the performance,

“She’s the lowest class of all the characters given her position, but Elizabeth gives her status through a genuine and authentic relationship, and in the scene we’ve been rehearsing today, on Elizabeth’s wedding night, we really see the bond and trust for one another that they have.” 

She continued,

“The biggest challenge for me personally, is playing the role of a servant and not stepping over the line of what that represents in this play, particularly given the period it is set in and the way in which women in this role were perceived.  Due to her relationship with Elizabeth you see Clarice as a friend and mentor, yet she is also a servant, spoken at not to and most definitely not respected by anyone else – she straddles two worlds and that presents one or two challenges in terms of stage presence and body language – but I’m loving it!” 

Having also performed in various School productions over the last few years, Emily said,

“I’m always nervous, but excited ahead of performance week.  It’s such a brilliant experience, to work with the creative team, people I’m already friends with and meet new people from School involved in the production – the whole School will be buzzing next week ahead of Wednesday and Thursday night, I just can’t wait!” 

Talking about how she feels about her character and how she wants to audience to feel about her she said,

“I really hope they can see the special relationship Clarice and Elizabeth have, the intimacy they share and genuine friendship, it’s a really relatable aspect of the play and offers some rare moments of tenderness in an otherwise quite dark story.  I want everyone to root for Clarice, to admire her friendship with Elizabeth – because after this particular scene things are going to change significantly, and that light that Rose spoke about is about to be dulled!  You’ll have to watch to find out why – although if you’re familiar with the story, you’ll know what’s in store for everyone!” 

Frankenstein will be performed on Wednesday 20 and Thursday 21 November in School, we do hope you’ve managed to get tickets for these sold out performances. 

In late September five of our age group Cross Country teams had qualified to compete at the regional round of the English Schools Cross Country Cup. The Regionals took place on Thursday 7 November, and we are extremely proud to report that three of the five teams have now qualified for the Nationals by finishing in the top three.

Such is the athletic strength and depth in Essex, Woodbridge School is one of only two Suffolk schools that will be represented at the Nationals.

Special mention to our two individual medal winners, year 8’s Dexter who won Gold in the Junior Boys race, and to Year 13’s Iwan on taking bronze in the Senior Boys race.

Woodbridge School Cross Country has now qualified one or more teams for the National Finals every year since 2016 (Covid year excluded). That is an amazing eight years in succession!

A streak that will no doubt end one day, but for now we celebrate the continuity and brilliant achievements of our young athletes. There are over 6,000 secondary schools in England, with the competition open to all schools across the country.

Only 27 schools will line up at the National Final in each age group race.

Teams qualifying were:

Junior Girls – A resounding team victory, with our four scorers 4th, 6th, 7th and 8th (a score of 28 points, with second 66 points and 3rd 75 points).

Junior Boys – Regional Champions by just two places across four athletes, with our four scoring athletes in 1st, 6th, 8th and 13th (a total of 28 points, with second 30 and third 55).

Senior Boys – A relieved squad qualifying in third place with our four scorers 3rd, 17th, 19th and 21st (a score of 60 points with the winners at 22 and second at 55).

Our Inter Boys ran exceptionally well to finish a strong 6th (scoring athletes in 5th, 33rd, 42nd and 43rd), and Inter Girls completed our line up with a 10th place finish (9th, 45th,49th and 62nd).

Congratulations to every athlete and good luck to those teams competing at the Nationals in Leeds on Saturday 7 December!

Invited to the University of Suffolk earlier this week, Year 13 students spent time talking about studying Psychology at University and how to set up research, as well as using some of the specialist equipment in the department.   

 Talking through a range of items and techniques, Dr Rachael Martin, Senior Lecturer in Psychology and Course Leader for MSc Applications of Psychology, shared and demonstrated some of them with the students’ help and participation; they began by experiencing eye-tracking glasses which monitor how the eyes behave when wearing them. 

After a lovely lunch, our students were invited to learn about and experience some of the biological equipment used to track and monitor the brain, using lights to alter mood through close contact glasses.   

It was an excellent experience for our Year 13 Psychology students, particularly those applying to study this subject at university, this will certainly be useful when completing their UCAS applications. 

Speaking about the students, Dr Rachael Martin shared, “They had very well-informed research ideas – I was impressed!”  

Just before half term, our RAF Battle of Britain dinner took place in School, honouring and remembering the heroes of the historic battle.  Paying tribute to the brave individuals who fought for our freedom by defending the skies, during the Second World War, their victory blocking the possibility of invasion and creating conditions for Great Britain’s survival.  Our students enjoyed a delightful three-course dinner, followed by speeches from Miss Tattoo and Year 13’s Hugh our Head of RAF, whose you can read below. 

Ladies and Gentlemen 

We are here tonight to remember and honour the brave and often gruelling efforts of the men and women who were involved in the Battle of Britain. Taking place over the course of four months, from July to October of 1940, the battle was a hard-fought air campaign which significantly altered the course of WWII. RAF fighter planes doggedly defended Britain’s airspace against the Nazi Airforce, the Luftwaffe, preventing Hitler from gaining the air superiority which he needed to invade Britain.  

As the battle was at its fiercest during mid-August 1940, Sir Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister addressed the House of Commons and delivered a speech that became famous for one line.  “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.  “This message resonated through the country, acknowledging the courageous efforts of the RAF, Polish and Commonwealth pilots who were fighting over the skies of Britian and mainland Europe. It reassured a nation which was facing its darkest days of the war and sent a message that Britain remained both defiant and capable of resisting Nazi Germany.” 

Whilst the efforts of the ‘few’ will go down and be rightfully remembered, I want to tell you a story from another point of view.  A story that represents the ‘many’.  The many ground crew, the many radar operators and the many women of the ATS just to name a few, all of whom allowed the pilots to stay operational and in the skies, even in the most appalling of conditions.  Thousands of ground crew supported the pilots.  Their efforts kept the Spitfires, Hurricanes, and other planes fuelled, armed, and repaired throughout those long months. It was these ‘many’ of ground crew, controllers and supply staff who would continue to serve the RAF in theatres around the world for the rest of the war. 

Corporal Robert Whittell Smith, known as Bob, was one of the ‘many’.  Bob was serving at RAF Middle Wallop on August 14th.  Around 5:15pm in the afternoon, a Luftwaffe Junkers 88 Bomber broke through the cloud over Middle Wallop airfield.  As the alarm sounded, sending the ground crew and pilots into action, the bomber dropped its deadly payload.  As Bob and his maintenance party were working frantically to close one of the enormous steel plate doors of the aircraft hangars, the bomb crashed through the ceiling, blasting the door clean off its hinges.  Bob, alongside his comrades, was crushed by the door, dying instantly. 

While the pilots and airmen dogfighting in the British skies are rightly recognised for their combat roles, it’s important we remember the men and women on the ground like Bob, who also gave their lives to win the peace and freedoms we enjoy today. 

This message rings true just as much as now as it did then.  With growing instability in our world, and the threats to peace increasing, it is important that all of us learn from our time in the CCF.  Whether you are thinking about a future in the military or not, I urge you to take forward the RAF’s values of respect, integrity, service and excellence, and use these to forge a better society for all. 

Since joining the CCF RAF section in Year nine, I have had the opportunity do so many things that men like Bob would be amazed by. From gliding, to flying to drill, CCF has become an integral part of the week, making every Friday a new challenge and an opportunity to learn different skills.  

 The best way I can describe what CCF has meant to me, is to share a few experiences.  

In Year 10, as part of the AST team we were competing at the regional competition.  After doing well in shooting, command tasks and aircraft recognition, it was time for the main event, the drill.  I remember looking over and seeing the faces of some rival schools, pressed up against the hanger window, waiting for us to make some slip up.  But unfortunately for them and lucky for us, there was no mistake. We claimed the top prize for drill and third in the overall competition.  

However, the good news didn’t last long, because snow and icy conditions meant the coach coming to collect us had skidded off the road.   As it got later and the temperature got colder inside the drafty hanger, we played pass the parcel with one hot water bottle in an effort to stay warm and while away the time.  

Eventually many hours later, our replacement coach did arrive and all 13 members of the AST team as well as a very relieved Miss Tattoo stepped on board. It had been a long day, and we were all tired, but we had no end of fun, and it’s amazing what you end up doing when trying to keep yourself warm and entertained.  

Another story comes from a summer RAF camp on a base near Preston, just outside of Blackpool.  Around 20 minutes away from our arrival, Miss Tattoo received a phone call informing her that the chef due to be cooking our food for the next week had just caught covid.  This meant that unless a replacement could be found, the camp would have to be cancelled. After a few frantic hours and some strings pulled in very high places, a chef was secured for the week, but, it would be a couple of days before he was to arrive. Until then, we were left with two options for our evening meal: Option 1, Miss Tattoo, with her expert culinary knowledge cooking for all of us, option 2, get a takeaway.  It is safe to say that there was one very happy kebab shop owner in Blackpool that night.  

On a serious note, we had the most incredible week, and I will always remember flying upside down over Blackpool, looking UP and seeing the pier and amusement arcades below.  

What I am trying to say with all this is…… just jump in and get involved.  Was I always any good at some of the things I chose to do?  No.  When gliding I required the sick bag multiple times, but until you try something …. you don’t know.  So, when Miss Tattoo reminds you about an incredible opportunity for the seventh time in a row – I beg you to please, please just say YES. You won’t regret it, and if you are not going to try something new now, then when?  

I hope that all of you here tonight have as good and enjoyable time as I have had in this section. 

So just go for it!  Seize the opportunities. 

Please be upstanding for a toast to the Royal Air Force 

Year 11 Drama Students’ Trip to see Touring Production of Come From Away 

On the Friday before half term Year 11 GCSE Drama students made their way to Norwich Theatre Royal to enjoy the touring production of Broadway’s Come From Away.  This Olivier award winning musical charts the incredible real-life story of the 7,000 air passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Canada during the wake of 9/11, and the small Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives.  Year 11’s Patrick loved the show and was keen to share his thoughts. 

Year 11’s Patrick 

Come from Away was an amazing production from which I will take away a plethora of useful techniques. I was intrigued by their use of set and props; a few chairs and tables, as it showed how you can use a few objects to create the illusion of a diverse and big set.  The actors’ use of multi-rolling and the characters’ sense of community taught me how I, as a theatre maker and performer, could take something seemingly basic, yet integral, to create an enormous sense of community and inclusivity.  For me, this is certainly something I will take away and use in future performances.  

I think that it is very important for GCSE students to see live theatre, as watching performances in person can really alter one’s dramatic process.  Personally, I believe it helps and improves your way of thinking and gives you an abundance of ideas to take away and use in your own performances. 

Ahead of half term our U14, U16 and U19 netballers took part in the South Suffolk Tournaments, with some fantastic results and lots of learning and development opportunities.  With three tournaments in two days, we knew it was going to be a busy one!   

Woodbridge U14s vs. Ipswich High, St Jo’s, RHS, Ipswich School and Farlingaye 

The U14s started off on a beautiful Monday afternoon, which felt just like summer.  Our first match was against a strong Ipswich High team, one which had beaten us in the league tournament two weeks ago, so the pressure was on.  We managed to find our feet from the starting whistle and put on a strong performance.  Coming away with a 6-4 win was a good start.  

Next up were St Jo’s.  Level pegging for the whole game until the final 10 seconds of the game where they went ahead by one goal.  This dampened our spirits, but the girls knew they had to step up a gear against RHS in the next match.  Another competitive and similar match to the previous one, but luckily we went ahead by one goal and won 9-8. With two matches left to go, it was all the play for.  

Our match against Ipswich School was yet another match with end-to-end netball.  Unfortunately, again, we lost by one goal (5-4) and the same was repeated in our final game v Farlingaye.  Our shots were unfortunately not converted, and we lost 7-10, which resulted in us coming in 4th place, so just missing out on a place at the county round.  A lot of lessons were learned during the afternoon, but the girls should be proud of how they played and conducted themselves. 

Woodbridge U16s vs. Farlingaye, RHS, St Jo’s, Ipswich High School and Ipswich School 

Faced with five games on a sunny afternoon at Rushmere, the U16s arrived up for the challenge.  We played Farlingaye first and were able to put a good win under our belts with some great shooting, defending and centre court play.  With the team consisting of both Year 11s and Year 10s, it was the first time they had come together on court.   

Next up were RHS, and unfortunately an injury sustained to one of our players meant we were a bit out of sorts and narrowly lost – having to put one of our shortest players in as a direct defensive replacement didn’t help!  We then were up against St Jo’s and won 12-2, putting on a solid performance which we knew we had in us.  Next it was Ipswich High, and in a tight game they just took the edge.   Ipswich School were our last opponents and after only being down one at half time put up a good fight, but they were just that little bit ahead of us all game, unfortunately.  Finishing in 4th place was a great achievement seeing as we lost a player in the second game.  A real learning curve and great potential shown from the whole squad.  Well done!  

Woodbridge U19s vs. RHS, Farlingaye, Northgate, Ipswich School A and B team, and St Jo’s A and B team 

What an afternoon!  The U19s had a super successful tournament, challenging at times, but managing to keep their cool, playing together as a team and dominating their opposition.  With 120 goals scored and only 35 goals against, it shows the depth of both our attacking and defensive players. 

First up was RHS, and the team settled very quickly and found their rhythm, resulting in a 19-2 victory.  Next was Ipswich School B team, followed and Farlingaye where we came away with two wins, 17-3 and 15-7.  Northgate were next, and this being our fourth match on the bounce, legs were tired, so we found the game challenging in the first half.  Luckily, we picked up the pace and won 17-7.  

Our last three games were against Ipswich School and St Jo’s A and B teams, and both schools’ A teams had both won all their games so far, just like us.   

Stepping on the court to face Ipswich, the girls knew they couldn’t afford to make any mistakes or allow the opposition to dominate.  The game was end to end during the first few minutes of the first half, then unfortunately, we allowed Ipswich to take control of the game and we did not play to our strengths, which left us 8-5 down at half time.  The half time talk was positive and constructive – we needed to play to our strengths and expose the opposition’s weaknesses, and that is exactly what we did.  Scoring four goals on the trot after converting our centre passes and turning over Ipswich’s, we were level pegging.  The final minute was nail biting (especially for me on the sideline!), the girls fought with everything they had and played brilliantly, especially dominating the 6ft 5″ Goal Shooter!  We went 13-11 ahead and the final whistle blew…we had done it! 

Elation was an understatement!  Still on our high, we faced our last two matches knowing that we had to win them both in order to be 1st place overall, and we did just that.  Our final scores were 15–4 against St Jo’s A team and 24–1 v St Jo’s B team.  

A superb afternoon of netball.  Well done to the team on their amazing performance and thank you to all the spectators.  The team look forward to the County finals on Saturday 16 November at ISSC, where the top two teams will head to Regionals in January. 

Our Woodbridge riding team attended the NSEA Championships during the half term break, from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 October 2024.   

The first competition took place on the Friday, with Year 7’s Tati and Daisy competing in the 70-75cm Showjumping Championship.  Both riders rode clear rounds but were not quite quick enough against the clock for a top eight finish, but did very well placing 18th and 20th out of 61 riders.  

Then followed a very busy Saturday with all the riders competing.  Two teams took part in the 80-85cm show jumping; both teams had a clear but also poles down and finished 22nd and 26th out of 43 teams.  

Having qualified with the most points in the East region, Woodbridge competed against the top schools from the other eight regions in the Regional Points League team Championships.  

The whole Woodbridge squad took part including Year 7’s Daisy and Tati, Year 9’s Grace, Year 10’s Edie, Harry and Zac, and Year 12’s Lois, finishing in 4th place.  Congratulations to all our riders, a superb achievement where each rider had to jump at height from 70cm up to 1m, with the best five rounds scoring for the team. 

On Sunday Grace, Harry, Edie and Zac stepped up to jump in the 90-95cm Championship.  A very technical and up to height class which our riders handled brilliantly, finishing on 8 faults in 15th place out of 34 teams. 

It was a show of’ stepping up’ for many of our riders, and although no championship titles were taken home, it was an educational weekend with very valuable experience gained. 

Well done Team Woodbridge!
