House Hockey 2016

House Debating

The Ardingly Colour Run

BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS 2016

After many long years of dormant competition, Mertens basketballers have breathed new life into Ardingly basketball with an outstanding, unexpected, come-from-behind victory in House competition. After an initial win against Crosse in week 1, Mertens took the competition by the throat with a gutsy win against pre-tournament favourites Hilton. In the final match against Rhodes, trailing by 2 points and needing at least a draw to win the tournament, Will Tam stepped up to the free-throw line to smartly sink two baskets and send his team and supporters into rapturous celebration. Not since David Beckham's curling free kick against Greece in 2002 has a sporting crowd witnessed such a defiant yet deserving comeback!! All credit must go to Will Tam and Raph Adomakoh for leading their team from the front and inspiring team mates with their passion.





Gardening at Sunnydown School - Sunday trip

For the second time this year, Mertens and Hilton boys got together to travel to Sunnydown School for a day of gardening. With Sunnydown School in the process of reinvigorating their grounds it gave us an amazing chance to help out. Amongst a flurry of wheelbarrows and rakes, shovels and picks, Ardingly boys played their part in what is a huge project and one that we will be involved in again, for certain! Well done to Aaron, Tireni, Justus, Raul, Ollie H, David, Tom TS and Horace for their efforts and all the Hilton boys who joined us also. Final thanks must go to Sunnydown School for being amazing hosts; with endless bacon sandwiches, a delicious lunch and a first class game of football to finish the day!!

 

 

 

 



ISFA CUP WINNERS 2016!!!

An amazing night away at MK Dons Stadium watching the Ardingly 1st XI footballers repeat last years heroics with a heart stopping 1 nil victory deep into extra time. Oscar McConnell proved unshakeable under pressure slotting a sure penalty beyond a confused Bradfield keeper. A special mention for Mertens boys Oscar Haynes Brown, Oscar McConnell, Dom Adomakoh, Max Stolkin and Michael Moran for playing their part in the history-making victory.
