This year saw all KEVICC football teams
achieve some fantastic results! The year
11s were a shining example, narrowly
losing out on penalties to a very strong
Tavistock team in the last 64 of the
National Cup Competition.
Stand-out performances along the way
came in the form of Charlie Johanson, Alex
Hartridge and Oliver Payne. Well done,
year 11!
The year 9 team narrowly lost to Torquay
Boys' Grammar School in a fiercely
contested fixture by a solitary goal!
The year 8 team had a narrow miss,
again on a final place, in the semi-final
of the South Devon Competition, losing
to Torquay Academy by a couple of goals.
However, the students made great progress
and surpassed their efforts from last year.
The year 7s took part in their first
competitive fixtures for KEVICC at this
year's 5-a-side tournament, where they
performed valiantly and scored some
fantastic goals. Some wonderful football
has been played this year and sets the
College up perfectly for next season!

This U16 fixture against Kingsbridge is
becoming an annual event – the boys lost
last year, so were keen to restore honour to
KEVICC this time. It was a fiercely fought
friendly but the win really never looked
in doubt. The only goal came in the first
half, when some great attacking play from
Jack Connabeer resulted in a cross from
Fred connecting with Jacob Smith's stick,
who slotted it past the keeper. An excellent
team effort all round. Lorna Souch, L.S.A.
Jo Anders, Alicia Hayman, Lucy McMurray,
Mia Poore, Menna Shore, Sophie Roe and
Eve Rouse, plus Lauren McGinnis in year 7,
narrowly missed coming third in the End
of Season Hockey Tournament at T.G.G.S.,
after a cracking start against Kingsbridge
C.C. when Jo Anders scored a fantastic hat-
trick for the girls to win 3-0. The next two
games were much tougher, with the battle
for third place coming down to their final
game against Stover, which they narrowly
lost 1-0. They should be extremely proud
of their fighting team spirit, which was a
credit to the College.

This year has seen a large number of
students attending from all year groups
rain or shine. The girls involved have
been training for their end-of-season
tournaments and are looking forward to
representing the College.
This year the Kennicott team achieved
some impressive feats. with a very positive
league position. The team, captained by
Buzz Avis, managed to go the whole season
unbeaten. Along the way, they achieved
some very impressive results, nonemore so
than beating T.B.G.S. two goals to one after
losing one at half time. Over the course of
the season, the team was driven by some
outstanding performances from Buzz and
from Matt Hartridge. Special mention
also needs to be made of Zac Sheppard
and James Phillips, who both reluctantly
wore the gloves at some point, and made
fantastic contributions to the overall team
performances.

Year 8 Girls' Hockey
After another term of intensely contested
house matches, full of a plethora of talent,
it was clear that the overall results were
going to be very close. It was a fantastic
effort by Gyles Boys to finish top in years
7, 9 and 10 to take the overall victory in
Football. Snape finished a close second;
Davis third and Babbage just edged out
Scott in a close 4th and 5th finish.
Girls took part in a Netball competition
where the scores were incredibly close but
the years 8 and 9 Davis teams were both
victorious in their year group competitions.
Davis did run out as eventual winners;
Scott came a very close second, with Gyles
and Snape joint 4th and Babbage coming
in a valiant 5th position.
