Barry House Sporting Success
Barry House has enjoyed some individual and team success in recent weeks, and it has been fantastic to see everyone get behind the boys across many fronts. Barry House’s Senior tug-of-war team carved up the opposition to reach the grand final against… Robson House! An all-boarding GF on Athletics Carnival Day, March 26. What a delicious prospect! Our Juniors fell just short, making the Semi-Finals before bowing out – a tremendous achievement.
In swimming, Tom Hawkins and Will Beggs swam five races each in the GPS Carnival evening out at Homebush, both achieving two podium 3rd place performances each on the night. Assistant Housemaster, the incomparable Mr Separovich coached the undefeated Championship-winning Basketball 1sts, while Charlie Moses was a member of the Premiership-winning 1sts Cricket XI, who won their last game in a thriller. In rowing, Jackson Bowers’ 1st IV won at the Head of the River, while Wilba Harding’s 3rd IV and Alex Knapman’s 3rd VIII were both runners-up; again, wonderful, sensational results. In athletics, the impressive performances continued, with Henry Murray finishing 3rd in the U/18 State Championships for the 110m Hurdles! What a fortnight!
