Staff and students paid tribute to Gordonian Christian Rowe last night by planting a memorial tree outside the new 3G and taking each other on in a football match. Christian, a gifted Slough Town footballer, left Gordon’s four years ago to pursue a career in the game. The Old Boys ended up 7-5 winners in this new annual event.
With two superb rounds at Felbridge over the Easter holidays, Molly and her horse Stan have qualified for the NSEA Championship and Plates in October! The dynamic duo achieved a clear round in the competition in the 1/1.05m to take fifth place and then another good round in the 1.10m event to give them a third place. Judges awarded the two of them very good style marks for both rounds. Congratulations both! Image courtesy of www.mhphotos.co.uk
