Uk Touring Team

On Monday 26 July, Fairmont hosted two touring schools from the UK, Charters School and Exeter School. The Charter School brought their u14A boys and girls and was hosted for one night.  Matches took place on Monday and the results were very favourable; the u14A girls played first and won their game 2-1, and the u14A boys followed up the girls’ win by also beating the Charters boys 2-0.  We hosted Exeter School’s u16A hockey girls and their u17 rugby group for two nights. The matches took place on Tuesday 27 July and kicking off with the girls’ hockey matches, to the delight of the numerous spectators. The girls unfortunately lost 3-0 to a very well polished hockey team with some excellent goals scored on Exeter’s part. The 1st team Fairmont rugby boys were more successful, as they beat the Exeter boys 36-0.  Thank you to our parents for hosting our visitors.
