The girls’ football team put on a brilliant performance, just missing out by one goal in the final to gain an impressive second place. The school’s basketball teams also put on a good match for the spectators and hit the court with real grit and determination against tough competition. They certainly showed the opposition there is a real future for basketball at Regents!

Paul Madden, Head of PE, commented: “The PE Department and I are extremely proud of all our students: they have grown into real team players with the best possible attitude to sport. The boys’ football team did us especially proud with their first international schools’ tournament victory. I have no doubt that it will inspire all our other teams to be just as successful in the future. Well done Team Regents!”
