COMMENT

‘If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two imposters just the same;’

Rudyard Kipling

We have certainly had our highs this term, with

so much success to celebrate on many fronts,but we have also had some very difficult times.

It is in these times that we learn the most

about ourselves and those that surround us.

The support we have had has been truly

humbling and very gratefully received. It has

made everyone at Sunningdale realise how

lucky we are.We are lucky to work in such a

special place with such a strong community;we

are lucky to have such a fantastic group of boys

who have been a constant source of strength;

we are lucky to have wonderful parents and

friends who have been so quick to offer

support and comfort and we are lucky with thewhole independent school community,so many

of whom have been in touch when we really

needed it.

1st XI Football

Played 15 Won 10 Drawn 2 Lost 3

It is true to say we were excited about the prospects for this team and we were right to be. They were

a fantastic group of players to work with and we had so much fun throughout the season.

The start of the season was a little frustrating.We created chances but simply could not finish. Our first

two losses were both games that we should have won.Horris Hill had a good side who were better than

us on the day.After this game we made a change in our shape and everything seemed to click.

Up front, Hopkins found the Midas touch in front of goal and ended with a tally of 25 goals for the

season. He was ably supported by Russell playing just behind him and they developed a very successful

partnership. The results started to come and we never looked like losing from then on. We wereexasperated in the Ludgrove game when they equalised with the last kick of the game.

The midfield pairing of Senior ma. and Barrett also grew in confidence and began to dominate possession

and give incisive passes that cut through many a defence.This was particularly true against Milbourne

Lodge who we rather took apart, and our wingers,Hopton ma. and Lewis ma.were fast and determined

and put in some very decent crosses.

Our success was also largely built upon a very solid defence. Hawkey and Zakhir ma. were simply

fantastic in the centre, working tirelessly and selflessly. Hinchliffe and Senior mi. improved throughout the

season to complete the back four. Buxton commanded his box with authority and developed his kicking

game impressively.

It was so exciting to see this team develop and do so well and with eight of them back next year, we will

be looking for even more success!

Colours were awarded to Russell, Hopkins, Hawkey and Zakhir ma.

SocialsThis term we were lucky enough to have two socials, one with Heathfield and one with St George's.

Both were great fun and the food delicious. At St. George's we did slow dancing which was very

romantic. At both socials the music was very good and had flashing lights and disco balls. At

Heathfield we sat down for a very enjoyable supper of chatting and good food, then we hit the

dance floor! The were both equally successful and many of us were given telephone numbers and

email addresses. We look forward to more in the future.

Big Tree Climb

One of the favourite weekend activities, The Big

Tree Climb returned this term. The boys had a

fantastic time out in the trees.

Sunningdale Honey

This term the boys had a chance to draw a label

for all our honey jars we filled in the summer term.

In the end the label was a combination of Hagger,

Boscawen and Senior mi's designs.

The bees are currently hibernating and waiting

patiently for the spring, so we haven't had any

contact with them. However we have enjoyed having

three more pigs this term and we have been tracking

their weights and plotting graphs in Science.

Nativity

This year's nativity play was Gift of a Lamb. An enchanting, old fashioned play, that the boys took on with

aplomb.Yurasov, the storyteller, gave an incredibly mature performance, keeping the audience captivated

throughout.There were other stand out performances on the night, in particular, all three shepherds,

(Barraclough ma, Caddy mi and Phelps) Mary (Guest-Gornall) and Joseph (Allen). All the boys in Form I

and form II put an enormous amount of effort in to learn their lines and their lyrics and I would like to

thank them profoundly. The nativity wouldn't have been anything without the directorial brilliance of Miss

Boyd, the sensational costumes made by Miss Foynes and the musical genius of Mrs Mackay.

A.G.F.L

La Vacquerie

Two separate groups of boys in their final year

spent a week in France at the school's house, La

Vacquerie, in Normandy. The boys had a great

week visiting the Cinema Circulaire at Arro-

manches, the Overlord Museum, the Airborne

Museum, the Caen Memorial and the German

cemetery. Between their educational visits and

their French lessons, they even managed to have

some good football games on the beach in the

evening. A very enjoyable stay capped with

amazing food!

V.G

French Drama evening

On Thursday 15th October, Sunningdale hosted

its annual French drama evening. Form I and

Form II each performed a song unaccompanied

and all sounded very French.Some forms wrote

their own short plays and sketches, all in French,

which at times tested the audience a little.

Several bilingual boys recited poems.

The boys really enjoyed themselves on stage and

it was nice to see so many parents.

V.G

Trip to the Science Museum

Forms I, II, III and IV enjoyed an informative and fun trip to the Science Museum in London. The boys spent

the morning in the Launch Pad looking at various experiments and in the afternoon they had a talk

on ‘Force’.

2nd XI Football

In the second match of the season against St George's the 2nd XI scored more goals than in the last three

seasons combined, a measure as to just how strong the team was this season. In previous years the 2nd

XI has had to fight for every inch of territory and every second of possession.For once, however this year

was different. The team was dominant in midfield and it is there that matches are won and lost. Mueller,

Borelius and Efemuai provided the slick feet whilst

Cartwright and Coen acted as traditional hard men

and movers.In defence we were solid,Boer proveda brave and competitive goal keeper and a back

four of Lazaro ma, Zakhir mi, Ker (Capt.) and

Treacher proved impenetrable. Up front we

undoubtedly had the goods in the form of Boyo,

eleven goals for a season at over a goal a match is

quite some performance. Supported by Aguirre,

Boyo was powerful, deft and accurate and most of

all he can hold a ball up when it counts. The best

season in many years.

Boyo,Aguirre ma, Borelius, Davies, Marshall-Lee,Arthur.

B.C

3rd XI Football

This has been a successful and enjoyable term for the 3rd XI team and the results reflect the effort and

desire to win the team have put in against some very capable opponents. Five wins, one draw and four

losses. More impressive has been the gargantuan goal tally of 54 goals scored by Sunningdale and only

20 conceded.

Out of a large squad of twenty-seven boys,earning a place in the team has been no easy feat. Having this

level of competition to get into the eleven has been important to the team's season. All of the boys in

game two who fought hard to earn a place in the 3rds and 4ths should be acknowledged, because

without this positive rivalry the success would have been harder to achieve.

I have been really impressed with the team's desire to win and their effort levels in every game. Notable

mentions must go to Dyachenko and Preston for their physical presence; Jegede and Davies for the un-

believable number of miles covered,relentlessly running up and down the pitch; Cartwright and Marshall

Lee for their positive captaincy; Boer for his huge clearance kicks and saves; Jonas,Arthur,Tirado, Powell,

Gavrilov, Davenport Thomas and Lamb for their Herculean efforts, not to mention Lamb's football boot

lace tying skills! Overall this has been a superb and highly enjoyable season and the team can be rightly

proud of their achievements.

Team From: Arthur, Boer, Jonas, Preston ma, Jegede,Tirado, Lamb, Cartwright, Davies, Marshall Lee,

Powell, Davenport Thomas, Dyachenko, Gavrilov.

4th XI Football

With only three games in the calendar the 4ths needed to hit the ground running right from the get go,

and things looked promising as we limbered up against Lockers Park and attacked and harried our way

to a 2-2 draw. Goals from the boot laces of Tirado and Dyachenko ma. were the cause of our initial

optimism. Sadly both strikers were then giddily distracted by being promoted to the 3rds and the middle

and end of our season suffered as a consequence.Tirado did briefly return to belt in a wonder strike at

the final whistle as we went down 1-2 to Horris Hill. But we never looked like causing Papplewick undue

damage in our 0-3 defeat. Such is life.The boys were magnificent in their efforts and I am sure will

encounter more success next season.

A.D.V

Under 11A Football

Given the ability and desire among the boys at the

start of term, expectations were high going into the

first match against Lockers Park. However, a 6-3

loss soon taught the boys that they were in for a

tough couple of months.That said, there were many

positives to take from the game.Most notably was

Kivanc's performance (who would end up being aleading goal scorer in the school with 23), he ran

the line with incredible pace and strength and

scored three great goals.It soon became clear that

our passing and retention of the ball was going to

be the key if we were going to get some wins.To

their credit, the boys worked unbelievably hard in

all the subsequent training sessions and improved

dramatically with every game. In their next four

games they achieved two fantastic wins and two

draws. Boscawen, Berridge and De-Carlos worked

their socks off in midfield and scored some brilliant

goals.The highlight of the season though was the

0-0 result against St. Andrews Pangbourne who

were a much bigger and faster team. Jackson ma.,

Hobbs and Motala put their bodies on the line to

help Maldonado in goal who pulled off some truly

outrageous saves. The following four games saw

two losses and two wins.The performance levels

and determination throughout could not be

faulted.A very pleasing season was rounded off in

style with a 7-0 win over Knightsbridge.The boys

should feel very proud of themselves and I am con-

fident that they now know what can be achieved

with hard work, resilience and determination. Well

done boys!

U11B Football

Another busy season for the U11b team with some

standout results including a win at Ludgrove! We

won as many as we lost with a couple of draws in

between. We never got a run of wins together to

really kick on and our form was rather inconsistent.

However there were plenty of positives through-

out. Field ma lead the team well and scored some

important goals later on in the season. His power

and pace caused defenders problems all season.

Jackson mi in goal was terrific, as was Lewis mi and

Osborne in defence and midfield respectively. Khan

ma was most improved and demonstrated with

perfection how to tackle and clear the ball from

the back.Lazaro mi was our magician in the middleand had all the tricks and flicks up his sleeve. Theseason highlight would have to be our 2-1 win awayagainst Ludgrove. Their team were all bigger thanus and talked about being unbeaten all seasonbefore we started. Sunningdale passed the ball sowell and outplayed them from start to finish. Wewent 1 goal down and showed great determinationand resilience to come back and win 2-1.Ludgrove

were in shock!There is some great potential in theteam and I hope they go on to enjoy their footballfor a long time to come! Well done.

U11C Football

Overall a fantastic season to have been a part of for the boys. Lead by inspirational leader and goal-keeper Craven Smith Milnes, we had a season of

ups and downs.Without doubt our highlight wasour fantastic 2-1 win away at Woodcote. It wasgreat to see how the boys committed themselvesso much for the full 40 minutes, with Kuanyshev micoming up with a Gerrard style long distancewinner late on.Wallace certainly also deserves amention for a brilliant defensive performanceagainst Woodcote and throughout the season.Ludgrove was also a great moment, it was great towatch the boys playing smooth passing footballwhilst getting 6 on the score sheet with no reply.All players had their role to play but Hopton mi,Aguirre mi and Horton ma must also have theirimportant role in the team acknowledged particu-larly with their goal scoring form. It was fantastic

to be on the sideline this season,well done boys!Team From: Craven Smith-Milnes, Horton ma,Hopton mi, Hagger, Ibrahim, Kuanyshev mi,Wallace,Aguirre mi.

U11D Football

Nicknamed "the buffet " because we had it all, theU11Ds had a tough but enjoyable season. Startingoff with a hard fought loss to Woodcote meantimmediately we were on the back foot.But as seenthroughout the term the boys showed great

resilience and perseverance to bounce back with abig win the following game with stand in coach MrHowroyd.The return of myself for the remainingfour games meant three tough losses and a draw,now whether that's a coincidence or tough luck wewill never know.However, despite some big lossesand tough days I was immensely proud of the boysefforts every game they played. It is never easycoming up against bigger schools and I believe howwe showed ourselves on the field was a testamentto our character as a team. Some outstandingindividual performances came from Wallace whomanaged to score four goals against Horris Hill ina 5-5 draw. I would like to thank all the boys thattook part in the U11D team this term and wish

them the very best moving forward.Team From: Wilson, Tkachev, Burn, Ropeid,Ardern-Norris, Dawson, Bhardwaj,Hill, Henderson,Amirmokri mi, De Nassau

U9A Football

A season of frequent ups and downs. Led by Field mi, this was a team based around working their socks

off for each other as well as trying to play football in the right way - on the ground.An opening day draw

versus Pilgrims offered great optimism.Three nil down at half time quickly became 3-3 due to strikes

fromAllen and Caddy mi.Affram produced heroics in between the sticks. Lockers Park was a game that

should have been won before a terrific team performance against Ashdown House saw the registering of

the first victory of the season. Consecutive defeats to Horris Hill, St.Andrew’s, Pangbourne and

St.George’s,Windsor provided the mid-season rut that can often happen to those so young. Guest-Gornalland Caddy mi. both found their scoring touch in a 3-1 away win over Ludgrove. Field mi. and Senior min.

both gave magnificent defensive performances to give the platform for some fine attacking play between

the two goalscorers and Allen.A tough draw followed against local foesWoodcote (2-2) before a thrashing

was received at the hands of a highly talented Milbourne Lodge (6-1) outfit. In defeat harsh lessons are

learnt. Papplewick tasted the bite of a Sunningdale side out to make amends.A thrilling game saw Guest-

Gornall score a superb hat-trick, ably assisted by Allen producing his best game of the season. Affram

again was outstanding in goal.Knightsbridge visited to bring down the cur tain on the season.A last minute

counter attack from the opposition’s stand out player led to a 3-2 loss with Allen’s two goals not being

enough.This will be a season that in terms of results, will frustrate the boys.They didn’t always get what

they deserved but the most pleasing aspect of their play was their willingness to engage with football as

a passing, team game where those who worked hardest to set up success would be celebrated more

greatly than those who achieved the success.The boys and I would like to thank all of the parents who

braved every possible weather system to lend their support.

U9B Football

The improvement of the boys shown this season has been fantastic they have continually shown great

heart and desire resulting in brilliant wins over Ludgrove and Horris Hill. Jackson min finished top scorer

this season but we could not have done it without the excellent passing of Chaugny and Field min. In defence

was the tenacious tackling of de Chimay, Barraclough mi and the excellent shot stopping of our brilliant

goalkeeper Ramesar.

U9C Football

The Under 9 C team have worked hard this season to try and improve their basic footballing skills and

understanding of the game.The results have been a mixed bunch throughout the term, when they clicked

they recorded some good results but fixtures have not always gone their way. Special mention must go

to Stone who was the most consistent performer but he was ably backed up by the Horton mi up front,

Strickland in the midfield and the defence of McGreal and Dyanchenko mi.

Fives

NATIONAL U13 CHAMPIONS

This was a truly remarkable term on the fives courts.We have more boys playing than ever and the

standard, particularly at the top, is reaching a very high level. In our school matches, the senior team

remained unbeaten throughout the term.This included very good wins against Eton.The first pair,

Russell and Hopkins, beat last year's prep school champions in a tight game at the start of term.

We entered the National U13Tournament for the first time with two pairs. The field was large and both

pairs won their groups and proceeded to the knockout stages. Unfortunately the second pair, Senior ma.

and Hopton ma., met our first pair in the semi-final. Until that moment, they had not lost a match.The

first pair went through to the final where they faced a very good St. Olave's pair. They lost the first game

comfortably but showed incredible resilience to come back and win the next two to take the title.

The last competition of term was the three pair competition at Eton. Having beaten Ludgrove and Cran-

leigh easily, we faced Summer Fields for a final showdown.The second pair played very well to win but

sadly the other two were narrowly defeated.This gives us something to clearly work on for next term

where our aim is to win the prep schools tournament in March.

Music

Over 100 instrumental lessons take place every week at Sunningdale and we are fortunate to have such

a strong peripatetic team. This term we were joined by Jan Curd (Singing/Flute), Ed Jordan (Drum-kit)

and Neil Charlton (‘cello).

As well as the MusicWorkshops on the Assessment Morning (with Mr Beaman leading jamming sessions

on the guitar), the boys gave a short recital in the Library. The soloists were Hagger (saxophone),Berridge

(clarinet), de Carlos (guitar) and Hopton ma (trumpet).We heard a vocal duet from Arthur and Hoptonma (Pergolesi’s ‘Cujus Animam”);the Woodwind Ensemble performed and the Chapel Choir sang Rutter’s

“The Lord Bless You and Keep You”.

At our informal Concert, the programme looked alarmingly long,what with 32 items on the list. However,

it lasted the allotted hour only and the variety was such,that the audience were kept interested throughout.

It was encouraging to see and hear all levels, from beginner to the intermediate and the more advanced.

All on Periscope too, for parents unable to attend.

A new Anthem was sung for every Chapel Service

this term, including a first performance ever of an

anthem written by Andrew Reid (Director of the

Royal Schools of Church Music) “Author of Life

Divine”. For the Harvest Festival, the Parent Choir

joined forces with the Chapel Choir and sangRutter’s “Look at the World.” At the Remembrance

Service the newly formed Junior Choir gave us a

lovely rendition of “The Song of the Blindman”

(Estelle White),“O Valiant Hearts” was sung in 4-

parts and Hopton ma’s Last Post was admirably played. £545.10 was raised for The Poppy Appeal.

In our two magnificent Carol Services, the congregation sang with great gusto in Personent Hodie and

the Choir sang descants to four of the Congregational Carols with Hopton ma on trumpet. The Junior

Choir sang “Whence is that goodly fragrance flowing?” and the Chapel Choir gave us a beautiful rendi-

tion of Michael Head’s “Little Road to Bethlehem and Rutter’s “Angels’ Carol”. Five tenors and basses

from the Staff joined the Choir to sing “Still, Still, Still” and“O Can You not hear?”. A small group of our

very best singers (Arthur, Hopton ma,Warde-Norbury and Tirado) sang “Good Enough For Him”. Dur-

ing the carol service we raised £765.25 for the charity ‘icandance’ which supports children with disabili-

ties and provides them with the opportunity to have dance lessons.

Congratulations to the 14 boys who sat music exams this term. The results were as follows:

Bradfield Creative Writing Day

On a crisp autumnal morning we made our way

to Bradfield to listen and learn from one of the

school's house mistresses, who was also a

published author. Mrs. Major was fascinating

when talking about the novels she had writtenand how one goes about creating characters and

settings. Armed with some tips from the top we

set about creating our own stories and by the

end of the afternoon,with a little help from Mrs.

Major along the way, we were all much better

creative writers, even if some of our ideas did

seem a little far-fetched! I wonder if Austen ever

thought of featuring zombie monkeys with

banana hand guns? It was a fantastic trip and

huge thanks must go to both Bradfield and Mrs.

Major for looking after us so well.

Winter Ball

The Sports Hall was transformed by a riot of red

and gold for the night of the Winter Ball,

Fabulous flowers done by Prue Dawson and Val

Arthur adorned every table. Parents and friends

arrived, having swapped touchline barbours and

wellies and were all looking gorgeous. The

evening began with champagne and delicious

canapés made by Tina Blick, a former parent,

then through to dinner, cooked to perfection by

Darren and his team. This was followed by the

auction. Mrs Arthur and Mr Dawson enticed the

parents with the wonderful prizes, so generously

donated and the bidding swiftly rose. After

supper everyone took to the dance floor, who

knew Sunningdale parents had such moves!

The whole evening was such a success. We

would like to thank the Trustees and the

committee for all their hard work,and all of you

for making it such fun.The evening raised just

over £25,000.

years.He was also a very talented tennis and real

tennis player and was Chairman of the Old

Etonian Tennis and Rackets Association.

ObituariesR.W.R

In September 1978 Richard Rickman joined

Sunningdale. It was immediately evident that we

had gained a deeply committed schoolmaster.

His task was to run the History and to teach

French. Very many boys will remember the great

care he took over preparing boys successfully for

exams. His classroom, meticulously organised

was a centre of interest for those historically

inclined. As a games player himself his love of

tennis and golf was passed on to the boys and

he ran both these sports for many successful

years. A training sprint round the soccer pitch

before each game,those impressive daily press-ups

belied his years! He left after Lent Term 1986.

To Anne, we send our sympathy.

A.W.E

Wray Elles came to Sunningdale in the Michaelmas

Term of 1980, after a time spent in the motor

trade. He had had a very distinguished war in

the Royal Air Force, being awarded the D. F. C

with bar. He quickly established himself as a caring

and interested schoolmaster. The boys amused

him by their antics and his sense of humour was

an important attribute. His kindness was felt by

boys and staff alike. His love of games, especiallycricket, made him the right person to run the

Under 10 which he did with increasing success.

He left at the end of LentTerm 1986.

House Dinner

Sheepshanks, having beaten their House rivals for the first time in seven years,enjoyed a wonderful evening

sat around the House Dinner table! The boys celebrated this triumph with a menu consisting of crispy

duck pancakes, steak and chips, and chocolate fountain. In true house style, there was little left! A huge

thank you must be given to the kitchen staff who prepared the meal so expertly. To earn this special

honour, the boys displayed fantastic team spirit in securing the necessary points that ult imately made all

the difference in the final House standings. It really was a term that will be well remembered for all in

Sheepshanks. Let’s not leave this for another seven years boys!

M.P.G

Bust UpAs always Bust-Up was a wonderful evening. Darren and his team produced a delicious dinner, the dining

room was decked out with candles, Christmas trees, and tinsel. Following supper, it was the boys' turn

to entertain, and entertain they did. Eight groups had got through the audition stages of 'Sunningdale's

Got Talent' and it was an impressive show. The winners by a margin were 'The Artists', which consisted

of Dixon, Saville Seath, Klien and Preston ma. Another highlight of the evening was the Undermatrons

version of Uptown Funk.
