The second half of the Spring Term provides an opportunity for boys in Years 5 to 8 to play a mixture of different sports. With hockey being a major feature in many senior schools, we believe that it is important that Moulsford boys have good exposure to the game, to prepare them for all that lies ahead. The boys play on a combination of the Moulsford astroturf, in the sports hall and at the excellent facilities of Hithercroft, the home venue of Wallingford Hockey Club.
Rugby Sevens also plays a prominent role in the second half of this term, with all boys having an opportunity to train and trial for the Sevens teams. Given the nature of Rugby Sevens, it is not feasible for everyone to represent the school in this form of the game. We aim to balance the reduction in fixtures with the excellent Moulsford Premier League (MPL) football tournament. There is nothing quite like playing a match against your own schoolmates to kindle and harness that competitive instinct. Talking of which, it was tremendous to watch the Year 2 tag rugby tournament this afternoon. In spite of the freezing conditions, the Moulsford boys and their opponents competed with enormous gusto, enthusiasm, determination and skill.
