SPORTS SUMMARY

FOOTBALL

1st XI

This was another good season for the 1st XI which was ably captained by Stephenson. There were 18 matches played of which 10 were won, six lost and two drawn. Team spirit was a decisive factor in many of the games and .the team played hard throughout the season.

Stephenson played at centre-half for the Yorkshire Grammar Schools. side against Huddersfield Amateurs on 18th November, 1961, against Derbyshire on 27th December, 1961, and was chosen to play against Lancashire on 3rd January, 1962, but the match was cancelled owing to snow. Knowles was picked as reserve in the last two games.

At Christmas a coaching session was held for three days at the School for the 1st XI's and U.15 XI's from Mirfield, Batley, Heckmondwike and Dewsbury Grammar Schools.

Colours were awarded to Booth, Dunderdale and Rogers.

CROSS-COUNTRY RUNNING

Both the Under 13 and Under 15 teams had a highly successful season which culminated in the winning of the Spen Valley Schools' Trophy for 1961-62. This fine achievement was made possible by regular practice and by the good team spirit which prevailed throughout the season, inspired undoubtedly by the untiring efforts of Mr. Pugh.

On the more individual side, the final race for the Spen Valley Trophy was won by Anthony Smith, with Nicholson, Halmshaw, Bennett and Hannam finishing in the first twelve out of a field of over 50 runners. In fact the Under 13 team was not beaten once in the whole season when at full strength.

Colours awarded for season 1961-62:
UNDER 13: Smith, Nicholson, Halmshaw, Thompson, Bennett, Hannam.
UNDER 15: Oldroyd, Carter, Easingwood, Thornton.

ATHLETICS

Once again the School finished third in the Spen Valley Schools' Athletics Meeting. Compared with those of other Schools, our small numbers put us at a disadvantage.

As a result of this meeting, the following were chosen to represent Spen Valley in the Yorkshire Schools' Athletics:
John James — Junior Boys' Hurdles.
Margaret — Handley Junior Girls' Hurdles.
Elizabeth Dugdill — Intermediate Girls' High Jump.

James won the Yorkshire Junior Boys' Hurdles and as a result of this he was chosen to represent Yorkshire in the National Championships. He hurdled extremely well and finished fifth.

In the Inter-House Athletics, Bronte were clear winners. Outstanding performances were by the following:
Girls' Senior Athletic Champion — Ann Wilson.
Girls' Under 13 Athletic Champion — Gillian Ashpool.
Girls' 13-15 Athletic Champion — Margaret Handley.
Boys' Senior Athletic Champion — Alan Stephenson.
Boys' 12-14 Athletic Champion — Michael Dodsworth & Christopher Lamb.
Boys' 14-16 Athletic Champion — Rodney Palmer.
Boys' Under 12 Athletic Champion — Anthony Smith.

The 1st XI won eight and lost three with one draw.
The 2nd XI won three and lost two with two draws.
The U.15 XI won six and lost one with one draw.

Maxine Pecksen was captain, Kay Holt, vice-captain and Sheena Wild, games secretary.
