After an exciting afternoon on the pitch, the boys swapped football boots for bowling shoes, putting their hand–eye coordination to the test at the ten-pin alley. The evening continued with an overnight stay in the heart of Bristol, where a scenic walk around the historic harbour provided a chance to relax and take in the sights after a busy first day.
The next morning brought a new challenge as the group travelled to Kingswood School for their first-ever hockey fixture. Facing a school where hockey is a major sport, the boys rose to the occasion with determination and resilience, demonstrating excellent attitude and perseverance throughout a tough but rewarding match.
The tour concluded in memorable fashion at Twickenham Stoop Stadium, where the boys watched Harlequins take on Gloucester Rugby. The excitement of live professional sport, combined with a special halftime shout-out, made for a fantastic end to the trip.
After 36 hours packed with sport, laughter, and new experiences, the boys returned to school tired but happy – bringing with them great memories and a real sense of achievement.
