Interviews English A Level students have enjoyed interviewing sporting and musical stars of the school. First into the room was Tom Downey Year 11, trombonist. A reserved character in spite a bowler than a batter”, and that her cricketing of his imposing figure, he swiftly divulged his instrument of choice – the trombone – and his ensuing success: in March he played in Carnegie Hall, New York as a part of the Cardiff County and Vale of Glamorgan Wind Band. He hopes to progress into orchestras one day, perhaps even giving lessons. Not bad for someone who took up the trombone on the basis that “there were no trumpets left!” Following his punctual departure, Emma Davies (Year 8 cricketer) joined us. Emma, having started her career in cricket during her primary school years, was picked for Wales by the time she was eleven – an honour she has retained to this day as a member of the All Girls Welsh Under 15s. She went on to inform me that she “was more of has allowed her to compete against other counties, Gloucestershire, for example. On followed Natalie Gill (Year 10 gymnast). Natalie was very modest – endearingly so, in fact; she reeled off her achievements – most notably a gold in the British Gymnastics Finals – and detailed her intensive training routine (four sessions a week, poor girl!) Nonetheless, she told me, she feels as though it is worth the effort. And I do not doubt her; only last weekend had she won a bronze for her performance in a regional competition. The concluding interviewee was Matteo Holmes (Year 10 athlete). He was an interesting figure to observe; his character oozed a quiet, assured confidence. And one could be left with little doubt as to why this was following the blitz of medals he has won. A weekly diet of two hours javelin and likewise for hammer has resulted in: Welsh Championships – gold in hammer, bronze in discus and javelin; Welsh Inter-regional Championships – gold in hammer and javelin; South Wales Interregional Championships – gold in hammer and javelin. What I found most intriguing about all of the above was their modesty; they had no real inclination to compile grandiose lists of awards and appearances. Rather, I had to prise the details of their achievements out of them! Matteo’s closing line epitomised this for me: “Anything else?” I enquired after the impressive résumé (jokingly, of course). “A couple, yeah” was his response. Marvellous. Written by TGH. With thanks to Caitlin Couper. “a gold in the British Gymnastics Finals”
