Sports Weekly Roundup
On Monday 22nd January, the 6th Form boys Football team hosted Abbey College Cambridge. It was a tight game in blustery conditions.
In the first half, Abbey College took the lead from the penalty spot. Elliott and Finn both went close from free kicks, only to be denied by some excellent saves by the opposition keeper. In the second half, TGS kept fighting and got their reward when Noah was fouled in the box and Elliott slotted home the penalty into the corner.
With the game set to end in a draw, TGS broke forward and Elliott was played through 1 on 1 with the keeper and calmly slotted the ball between the goalkeepers legs and into the back of the net to win the match 2-1, much to the delight of the watching fans.
Ollie was solid in goal, Tiger, Noah, Josh and Harry defended heroically. Finn, the Team Captain, Tom, Brayden and Dan bossed the midfield and Elliott and Harry were dangerous up front. Nathan and Alex also contributed well off the bench. Elliott was Man of the Match.
On Wednesday 24th January, the Year 7 and Year 8 A & B Netball teams hosted Glebe House. The A team won 14 - 0. Alexia was Captain and Glebe voted Elysia the Player of the Match. The B Team drew 7 - 7. Ella was captain and Glebe voted Erin the Player of the Match. Well done to all the players for taking part.

"The support and camaraderie that I experienced at TGS allowed me the confidence to pursue a career path that at times felt out of reach, and in my opinion that is the greatest service a school can provide a student. I am forever indebted!” #supportyourschools#tgstogether

We asked our Alumni to share how their time at TGS helped build their professional lives. "Without the support, extra hours and the personal touch offered by the teachers at TGS, my story could have been very different. Thank you, TGS!” #supportyourschools#tgstogether
