Christmas Fair From the Headteachers Visit to Swans Secondary

Boys’ SportUnder 19 Football TournamentA heroic, valiant display by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Swans</strong> Under 19 football team was not rewarded with <strong>the</strong> results<strong>the</strong>y deserved in <strong>the</strong> largest <strong>to</strong>urnament of its kind on <strong>the</strong> Costa Del Sol. Lucas Reek, <strong>the</strong>courageous captain of our squad, played well in goal and kept most of <strong>the</strong> scores respectable. Hisdisplay was only outshone by <strong>the</strong> debutant James Lowsley-Williams who showed <strong>the</strong> type ofenergy that is needed in all football teams. The silky skills of <strong>the</strong> Barrena bro<strong>the</strong>rs and <strong>the</strong> hardwork of Sam De Jonge in attack showed that, with more preparation and time <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r, thissquad could win games. It should be noted that all but four of <strong>the</strong> squad were playing in anadvanced age group, and <strong>the</strong> experience <strong>the</strong>y gained will help <strong>the</strong>m in <strong>the</strong> future. Well done <strong>to</strong>all squad members; Lucas Reek (Captain), Alfonso Vargas, Sam De Jonge, Rodrigo Rojas, Jose-Maria Barrena, Alejandro Barrena, Bader Al-Dugheithir, Conor Russell, James Lowsley Williams,Felipe Fernandez, Vincent Puyneers and Nicolas D´Allesandro.Practice for <strong>the</strong> next <strong>to</strong>urnament starts after <strong>Christmas</strong>.Boys’ Basketball Wins!<strong>Swans</strong> Under 13 and Under 15 Boys Basketball teamsstarted <strong>the</strong>ir seasons well with a double success over St.Anthony´s College.
