Balmoral Swim Review – Robson House
With sun shining, tempers racing and budgy’s flaming, the Robson boys descended on Balmoral beach for the almighty day. With 24 members participating from the House, all of the boys were reared and ready to swim for cancer. Under the charge of Will Nicholl, all teams fared very well on the day. The senior team won, consisting of Ollie Bishop, Ben Broadley, Jonah Edlington and Joshua Brice placed 18th on the day and notably raised $1,500, toppling the funds of rest of the teams in the School to help fight cancer.
Senior team 2, involving Nick Spencer, Ollie Brooks and Julius Andres and a last-minute replacement from another house helped them give the swim a great crack and got around the cause. The last two senior teams, consisting of the Senior men of Robson, namely Josh Richardson, Digby Jones, Tom Nicholl, Deuchar Dight, Angus Greig, Maximo Siufi, Tom Cruikshank and Will Nicholl all got into the race and had a competitive morning.
All the junior and intermediate collectively embodied the spirit that the rest of the Robson men were trying to emulate. They all competed very well and did the House proud. At the conclusion of the event, smiles were shared all around with Robson proving itself a formidable swimming force in the future.
Congratulations and thanks to all of the boys and parents who donated and participated in the event and made it a huge success, raising a school-record sum of around $3,000 for Robson House.
