District Rugby Success

Congratulations to Zac Long, Matty Alberquerque, Gus Bygrave, Alex Edwards and Harry Houlston (pictured below) who all made it into the Cheltenham District Rugby Squad after a tough trials evening held at Pates school. The boys did and amazing job being selected out of over 50 boys and then went on to play in the County Tournament held at Newlands. In the all day tournament the boys played against Gloucester, Stroud and Forest Districts coming away with wins in every game. Congratulations!!

Other congratulations to elite rugby players Jack Park and Joe Efthymiou who have been chosen to be part of the Gloucester Rugby Junior Development Group and to Jules Richards-Good who has once again been selected for the Gloucester DPP squad. Good luck to all three as they progress through the Elite Rugby Programme.

District Cross Country Success 2018

It was another successful year for Balcarras School where over 70 pupils competed in the District Cross Country Champs that were held at St Edwards School. The top 10 runners in each race from the House Cross Country represent the school.  As always Balcarras dominated the winning table where they won five out of the eight events!  This is an incredible result especially as 12 schools enter the competition. Well done to everyone who competed.

A special mention must go to Olli Powell who ran his final race for Balcarras and won.  Also to Zac Cameron who came second in the Year 10 and 11 race with Edward Holdsworth a close third place. Another special mention to Molly Dibden who came second in the Year 8 and 9 Girls race. Also congratulations to our new addition to Balcarras School Isaac Evans who won the Year 7 Boys race.
