Back to all news
Paulines continue to shine on both field and track, delivering yet another impressive set of results this past week.
Athletics
At the England Indoor Heptathlon Championships in Sheffield on March 7 and 8, Leo Popov (Fifth Form) delivered an impressive performance, finishing 17th out of a field of 30. He improved his personal best by over 150 points with a total score of 3655. Along the way, Leo achieved individual event bests in the long jump, shot put, 60m hurdles, pole vault, and 1000m, highlighting his all-round athletic development.
Football
It was a strong weekend for football across all age groups. In senior fixtures, the 1st XI secured a 2-1 win over Dulwich College while the 6th XI won 4-1. The 4th XI entertained with a 2-2 draw and the 5th XI produced a thrilling 4-4 tie. The 2nd XI (0-4) and 3rd XI (1-2) fought hard but were defeated.
The U16 teams enjoyed an especially successful morning. The U16A dominated with a 5-0 victory, U16B edged a 2-1 win, and U16C triumphed 4-2. U16D earned a 2-2 draw in a competitive match.
U15 fixtures also brought positive results. U15B recorded a 4-2 win, and U15D impressed with a 5-2 victory. U15C held their ground for a 1-1 draw, while U15A narrowly lost 3-2 in a closely contested match.
The U14 teams showed determination in all matches. U14C won 3-2, U14B drew 1-1, and U14A were unlucky to lose 4-3 with a late injury-time goal. U14D were beaten 5-2 despite a spirited performance from the 18-player squad.
Rugby
The U16 Sevens competed in the All England 7s Tournament on March 8, facing a strong field. The team began impressively with 36-0 and 33-14 victories over Hurstpierpoint College and John Fisher, respectively. Pool matches against Brighton College (0-14) and KCS (12-14) proved more challenging.
In the knockout stages, St Paul’s responded superbly. They beat London Oratory School 19-12 in the quarter-final and overcame Bridgewater High School 19-12 in the semi-final to reach the Plate final. Despite a strong performance, the team fell 19-7 to Lord Wandsworth College. Special mentions go to Sixth Formers Jack Vyvyan, Kia Trench, and John Gunn for their outstanding contributions throughout the tournament.
Meanwhile, the U15A team played their National Plate Semi-Final against RGS Guildford on March 5. St Paul’s led for much of the first half, with excellent tries from Ed O’Shea and Joachim Strabo (both Fifth Form). Despite heroic defence and two tries to Guildford’s one, three penalties saw the team narrowly miss out, losing 14-12. The team can be incredibly proud of their efforts and a successful season overall.
