House Tennis
Despite the brief
showers, the skies
cleared and the six
North boys, comprising
of; Max O’Brien , Gio De
Nardi , Jonny Paddle,
Ben Wells, Jonathan
Hobbs and Marcus Kim stepped on to the rather
tough astro turf to try and bring something home.
Unfortunately our first matches against a very strong
Cubitt team were not successful. Cubitt did go on in
fact to win the competition. Our second round of
matches proved to be a bit of an upset to the avidly
dominant East House with Gio and Max O’Brien
beating the overly confident 1st pair. In the end
though it came down to the last match against
Loveday, who ended up beating us by a difference of a
game, leaving the mighty North side in Fourth place .
Better luck next year chaps!
Gio de Nardi
10 North juniors participated
in the house tennis in which
we were rank outsiders.
These included: Freddie
O’Brien, Jake Harvey, Ben
Strickland, Jake Andrews,
Will Boddington, Dom Coy,
Ben Gasson and I. First we
played Loveday and lost narrowly despite a couple of
close matches, this placed us last overall at this stage
by only a few points. This spurred us on to a great
success against East, in
which we over took them
and slotted into 3rd place. It
was still close because we
were only 1 point behind
Cubitt, with them still to play
and only 2 points ahead of
East who desperately
wanted to not come last.
With a good performance from the whole team we
comfortably managed to secure 3rd place ahead of
East. As a team we played well and exceeded in doing
so enjoyed ourselves.
Freddie O’Brien
North House Badminton
As you can imagine the badminton talent in North
House is unbelievable, hence it may come as a shock
to you to have seen Will Setterfield on the team
sheet. It may stun you further to hear we came last.
However there were some truly majestic shapes being
thrown on the court in attempt to keep the
shuttlecock up and in play. Owen Quant and Max
Rothman were certainly the dominant force in
the North team despite losing one game, as Savill
and Setterfield, in the other game, played on
more of a primitive level.Well done to
participants and
many thanks to
everyone who
supported. Stay
sweet X

NORTH HOUSE ‐ Summer 2012
Junior House Golf
The North House golf
team consisted of Jack
Horsey, Rory Kennedy,
Jake Andrews, Will
Boddington, Freddie Ricks
and 5 excellent caddies
superbly dressed for the
occasion. Our semi final
vs. Cubitt was contested
well in the beautiful
recent sunshine. However
the weather didn’t match our performance as we
were trumped 3‐2 by Cubitt. Jack Horsey and Rory
Kennedy winning, but unfortunately Jake, Will, and
Freddie couldn’t quite hold on for victory and a place
in the final. Perhaps our heads weren’t in the game
because of the previous cancellation due to rain
however the caddies were certainly not to blame
putting out a top performance and adding to the
atmosphere on a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.

NORTH HOUSE – Summer 2012
House Athletics
On a typical English summer’s
day, athletes from all Houses
battled the gale force winds
and cold stinging rain, to take
part in some athletics. In
North, we are not known for
our athletic ability; the
motto, ‘it’s the taking part
that counts’ springs to mind. However, despite this,
the North boys competed with their usual fervour,
and by no apparent fluke (or sabotage) placed third
out of fourth in the competition. It was a really good
turnout from North, testament to an excellent house
spirit. The day was really good fun, and
congratulations and
commiserations to
all athletes. Special
mentions must go
to; Will Jeanes who
won his 1500m,
Alex Gook who also
won his 100m race,
Toby Savill who placed second in a very competitive
200m, Ben Gasson who performed well in both Javelin
and Shot put, and AJ Coates who took on a medley of
events.
Will Setterfield
We all kitted up in
our athletics kit and
began the walk to
fame and glory. As
we entered the
lowers the
spectators stopped
what they were
doing, turned,
looked, and gasped there were
hushed voices whispering “look its
North”, small children saying
“Mummy, are they super heroes?”
and other things of the sort. The fact
that North ultimately came third was
probably due to our finely tuned
techniques being ruined by the
weather that didn’t play as much havoc with the other
Houses’ more brutish methods of competition.
Ben Gasson
NORTH HOUSE – Summer 2012
North House Swimming
After a sterling performance last year and a well
earned victory, there were high expectations for the
North House Swim Team. As the smoke cleared and
the sound of the war drums faded away, the Team
stepped forward. The captain, Harry McCagherty, was
at the front of the Team followed by his faithful
Lieutenant, Tommy Taylor, and then the rest of the
almighty squadron that could lead North to another
successful year in Cranleigh’s prestigious House
Swimming Tournament. The tournament soon turned
into a three horse race with Loveday and East leading
out and North following close behind. However,
victories from Harry McCagherty in his races brought
the gap closer and first‐rate swims from Julian
Browning and Tommy Taylor narrowed the lead down
to only a few points separating East and North.
It was now time for the Junior Boys to hear the
trumpet call and flank the enemy at their weakest
point. Our juniors were led by Christian McCagherty
they easily left the competition behind in their wake.
A whisper emerged, a whisper that turned into a cry
as the word of North House’s victory spread like wild
fire through the endless waves of supporters. A
miscalculation from the officials meant the victory
was a tie between North and East. The boys are no
longer boys, they are men; men who rose above the
odds and conquered all who stood in their way, taking
no prisoners and securing a fantastic and well
deserved victory for North. North House Swim Team, I
salute you!
Tommy Taylor
NORTH HOUSE – Summer 2012
Senior House Cricket
Our prospects this year
actually seemed rather
bright after gathering
together an able bunch
of men for the task. Our
opener was against East,
a strongly fancied team,
boasting a bowling attack which, if honest, we all
feared. However we started well and put together a
tidy bowling performance to contain them to just 85
runs of their twelve overs. The batting was patchy
with Pete Thompson’s enormous hitting being the
highlight. Unfortunately North amassed only 53 runs
in reply, not a good start. In the playoff against Cubitt,
we felt we held the upper hand and we performed
admirably in the field once more ‐ Callum Kent made a
superb five stumpings, restricting them to just 84.
Fear was rife amongst our opponents the Cubitians,
until that is we found ourselves floundering in the
drizzle at 13 for 4. No matter we thought, Pete
Thompson shall prove to be our saviour. And try he
did but unfortunately the job was too much, assisted
commendably by Jonny Paddle, Will Setterfield and
Dave Forster we fell short at 60 all out.
Luke Boyd
Junior House Cricket
In the semi‐final we faced Loveday, whose team
contained nine A team players and two B players. We,
on the other‐hand, had the majority of the mighty C
team and even brought in a tennis player. We batted
first and Sam Scutt and Jack Horsey, the tennis player,
and A’s number 11, opened and put on a fine
performance, with some incredible shots including
some textbook Dilshans. Unfortunately, we went
slightly down‐hill
as Loveday
brought out their
best bowler to
dismiss Rory
Kennedy and
Giacomo Gray.
Even after Ollie Rodriguez and captain, Mylo Boyd, put
up resistance it seemed Loveday’s bowlers were just
too good. We ended on 73. After some decent
bowling from Jack, Oli and Mylo and a tidy
performance
from the wicket‐
keeper, Rory;
Loveday
achieved our
score with an
over to spare. In
the second
match we faced East. It was a close match but even
after some excellent fielding from Ollie Taylor and
Alex Robertson we narrowly lost. An unfortunate 4th
place, but a fun afternoon.
Rory Kennedy
North House Charity Day
On Sunday the 1st of July, the North House boys
carried out the annual charity day. As the baton of
organisation was passed down from the U6 to the L6,
all eyes fell on them, eager to see what they would
come up with. This year the L6 did not disappoint by
coming up with a fun packed day which everyone
could take part in. The day was set and all was ready
for the full day of sports done in order to raise money
for the charity “Friends of Tim”. Tim is an Old
Cranleighian and North House boy, who suffers from
an aggressive form of MS. All the current members of
the North House community engagied in various
sports activities in an all day sports marathon, starting
from 7am till just about 6:30pm. We played several
sports including; Danish long ball, Football, touch
rugby and cycling. Although the weather proved a bit
disastrous, the North House boys proved triumphant
and at the end raised nearly £2,000 for “Friends of
Tim”.
