There have been tr ips and visits aplenty, from cultural exper iences abroad to local sites and places of interest. The Yearbook records these excur sions and the many successes in competit ions, spor ting, academic and co-curr icular activit ies.
Also recorded are the many events organised by the PTA without their suppor t the School would be a poorer place .
As a School we suppor t many char it ies and the work of the children in suppor ting them is given appropr iate recognition.
The Yearbook provides a unique record of what took place over the past twelve months and I am sure it wil l el icit many wonderful memor ies for al l those who were present or took par t in the many diver se activit ies.
I thank al l the children and teacher s who have contr ibuted to the Yearbook through wr it ing ar ticles, providing ar twork or submitting photographs. I also thank Mrs Tomlinson for her work in editing and over seeing the production of this the 2014 Yearbook.

Last night, while I lay thinking here ,
Some whatifs cl imbed inside my ear,
And danced and par tied al l night long,
And sang their same old whatif song.
Whatif my hand was covered in blood?
Whatif I bumped into Robin Hood?
Whatif there was a dog on a log?
Whatif I saw a dancing frog?
Whatif there was a great fire?
Whatif I got poked in the eye?
Whatif my yellow jel ly went on the tel ly?
Whatif I suddenly became ver y smelly?
Ever ything seems well , and then,
the night t ime whatifs str ike again!

NATHANIA EWRUJE WINNING SPEECH AT THE ESU NATIONAL FINALS
PHILOSOPHY HAS A FIRM PLACE IN THE MODERN WORLD.How does one decide to take the long safe route or the risky shortcut? How does one decide whether the latest piece of gossip is fact or fiction? How does one decide whether to turn off the life support of a loved one? This afternoon, I, Nathania Ewruje, declare that Philosophy has a firm place in the modern world.When he hear the word philosophy, we often think of the renowned philosophers of
ancient Greece – Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, so indeed, we ask what do Ancient Greeks
have to do with the modern world? Well, it was through their ancient philosophy that
humans were set apart from every other creature in the world and our life was able to
advance to its present state. Some of the quintessential elements of modern society: from
the discovery of electricity to the foundations of our political and justice systems; are
ramifications of the philosophy of our predecessors. So naturally philosophy has become inbred into our genetic make-up. From the moment we are born, philosophical
questions fill our brains and consequently we rapidly learn more about the human psyche.As we mature we go to school, and learn to exploit the internet as an all-encompassing source of homework tutoring and knowledge. With around 800,000,000
answers delivered from the small thing we desire to know, speaking from experience, it is
clear that we need philosophy to decide whether to utilise this source, or not.We then approach higher education and realise once again that the modern world offers us
a plethora of options and choices. I’m sure many students in this room, like myself, have
entered the delicate stage where they must use the philosophy of consequentialism to swot-
analyse and deliberate upon where to study and what, exactly, to do with their lives.Next stop – adulthood: we are finally freed from our mother’s apron strings and in all aspects
of life, from the workplace to the home, philosophy is a vital skill to help us navigate through
the advancing world around us.Overall in life, through the philosophy of ethics we establish our personal beliefs and found
our sense of morality. In the very near future, our judges may wisely philosophise to crown Red
House School as the winners of this competition… hint, hint.Now let’s envision a modern world deprived of philosophy:• If you bought the latest phone or tablet, it wouldn’t become unfashionable within the next
month as there would be no more inventions. No one would possess the ability to evaluate
and think: how could I improve this? - because technology can only evolve at the rate at
which our philosophy evolves.• At this very moment in time I would be at home, procrastinating about my GCSE revision
as there would be no reason for us to be here today. We speakers would not be able to
rationalize over our given topics, and as for the poor questioner to my left - would the
expertise of questioning, the Socratic method of questioning to be precise, remain in the
absence of philosophy?• In the justice system there would be no: ‘It was self-defence’ or ‘I didn’t mean to,’
as our action-reaction world would declare that there is a set punishment for every crime, notwithstanding the circumstances. In fact, without Kant’s philosophy of Deontology,
which tells us that we have a duty to abide by moral rules; we would be ultimately lawless.• Frankly, there would be no modern world. We would go back to antediluvian concepts of
dictatorship; a world of malleable robots following orders mindlessly as we would have no
moral code to abide by: do what you want, when you want, regardless of the outcome. Planet
Earth: a callous place where empathy, charity and altruism cease to exist. As the philosopher Bertrand Russell once said, “science is what you know, philosophy is what you
don’t know.” Unless we, as a modern world, can honestly proclaim that everything is known, then I
believe philosophy has a firm place in the modern world.So, how does one decide to take the long safe route or the risky shortcut? How does one decide
whether the latest piece of gossip is fact or fiction? Now tell me, how does one decide whether
philosophy has a place in the modern world? Philosophy.

At Tivoli World we were given wristbands that enabled us to unlimited goes on 37 spectacular rides. Some of the rides included the Tivoli dragon, the big wheel, the bumper cars, the mysterious boat and many more, but our favourite was the free fall tower!
The free fal l tower was an astonishing 60 metres high!
It provided us with an amazing adrenaline rush and
we were also able to enjoy the wonderful views of
the coast and Tivoli Wor ld – for a few seconds while
we were up there! For lunch we had a quick snack of
chicken and chips before setting off again to explore
more of the park.
There was also l ive enter tainment! The ghost r ide , the
waltzer s, the mouse trap and log f lume also proved
great fun. After a great day we headed back on the
coach to our hotel to enjoy our last night in sunny
Spain. However, on the way back we stopped off to
visit the beautiful tradit ional vi l lage of Mijas. Mijas
is situated in-land up in the mountains but boasts
magnificent views of the Mediterranean. This gave us
an oppor tunity to do some last minute shopping and
make fr iends with the “Burros” taxis; that is the donkey
taxis which are typical of the area. From here we
headed back to the hotel .
In the morning we did our last minute packing and
went down to our last buffet breakfast at 7.45 am. Then
we were on the coach again heading for the airpor t.
Ever yone was sad that our holiday was
coming to an end but we couldn’t wait to see our
famil ies again and to tel l them about al l the funny
stor ies that happened along the way!
Our plane left Malaga at 10.45 and we arr ived in
England a few hours later. We got picked up at
Sainsbur y’s car park (we were al l ver y tired!) . We
al l had a great t ime but none of it would have been
possible without the four teacher s that took us. Ms
Smar t, Mrs Auty, Mr Kitching and Mr Haywood - Thanks
for ever ything!
We arr ived at the Balmoral Hotel in Benalmadena after
a ver y bumpy but fun f l ight and checked in. There was
then time to quickly change into our summer gear as
we headed to the beach; a one minute walk around the
corner. After splashing around in the freezing cold sea,
we enjoyed a game of rounder s before going back to
the hotel for a yummy buffet. We didn’t however just
f ly to sunny Spain to eat delicious Spanish food but
also to see the beautiful area around Malaga. One of
the tr ips took us to Granada, which is about two hours
from Benalmadena. The Alhambra Palace there was
absolutely spectacular, just l ike Málaga Cathedral which
we visited one day later. Málaga is the bir thplace of
the wor ld famous ar tist Pablo Picasso and in the local
museum we could actual ly see some of his drawings!
The weather in Spain was great (sunshine and 25°C ,
nothing l ike at home!) perfect for sunbathing and
messing about in the water. On the beach we were also
approached by these ver y keen salesmen who were
tr ying to sel l their
‘top make’ belts and sunglasses to us! However, we
preferred to stick to our game of rounder s!
Evening enter tainment also included a f lamenco show
with br i l l iant dancing and lovely Spanish food (‘tapas”
as these tradit ional snacks are known). We got back
to our hotel real ly late and were pretty tired, so we
were pleased we could have a (longer) l ie in the next
morning; which was just as well because we had to
be fit for our highl ight – the visit to Tivoli Wor ld, an
amazing theme park in Málaga.

BEDE’S WORLD BY SOPHIE STEWART – YEAR 2
ON TUESDAY YEAR 2 WENT ON A SCHOOL TRIP TO
BEDE’S WORLD IN JARROW FOR OUR R.E LESSON.
When we final ly arr ived at Jarrow, we got off the bus and walked to
Bede’s Wor ld where we had a dr ink and a biscuit . All of a sudden a
man named George and a lady named Lauren appeared at the door.
As soon as we stepped into the building ever yone , except me ,
stared at the wishing pool. I told Edie that it was not near ly as cool
as Bede’s Wor ld, that it was just the doorway enter tainment.
We went upstair s and had a talk about what we were going to be
doing dur ing the day and dumped our lunch. Back downstair s we
went into a ver y cool room. We had a talk about a model of the
monaster y; I found out that monks don’t only pray. They pray, farm,
dig graves, wr ite , read and learn! That was my favour ite par t and
then we drew a working monk.
Next we went to a church and al l got dressed up in habits. The
habits were itchy. It was cool because Isabell and Sam were at the
front of the l ines and were cal led Brother Issy and Brother Sam.
We walked towards the church and had another l itt le talk, got out
of our habits and walked back to the museum and had lunch. I had
a jam sandwich, an apple and a pear.
Now it was time to go to the scr iptor ium. We al l got an alphabet
sheet, but it was in LATIN! I found it quite easy to wr ite in Latin
but most people found it hard. I can wr ite my name look Sophie . I
found the quil l uncomfor table to use though.
Then, sadly it was time to go home. I wil l definitely go back. Also, I
was pleased that it had no moving mannequins!
ORMESBY HALLYEAR ONE ENJOYED A DAY AT ORMESBY HALL. THE
CHILDREN WERE DRESSED SUITABLY FOR THE ERA
AND KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK
HARD TO IMPRESS THE STAFF AS THEY APPLIED
FOR VARIOUS ROLES WITHIN THE PENNYMAN
HOUSEHOLD!
BUTTER PATS
Butter was made from the cows’ milk on the farm. Once the milk
had been churned to form butter, it was patted into shape . I f the
ser vants had used their hands to do this, it would melt the butter,
so wooden hands were made cal led ‘butter pats’ . It turned out
to be a ski l l ful job and involved quite a bit of dexter ity, however
Thomas mastered the technique .
SETH AND THE MANGLE
The laundr y room was a hot and steamy place to work. Only gir ls
could work there and they star ted at 5 o’clock in the morning. The
water and irons had to be heated by fires. Up to 68 bedsheets
arr ived at any one time to be washed, dr ied and ironed. There
were no electr ic washing machines and the laundr y maids used a
mangle to squeeze out the water between two roller s.
BAKING
The gardener s supplied the kitchen staff with lots of fresh produce .
Mr Pennyman would look forward to eating meat pies and fruit
tar ts, as well as freshly baked bread. Tom, Harr iet and Isabella were
great chefs!

THE MONSTER IS DEAD. THE MONSTER IS DEAD. THE MONSTER IS DEAD.
THE WORDS RANG LIKE WEDDING BELLS IN PEOPLE’S HEADS.
NOBODY COULD BE UNHAPPY.
5GWorkhouses appeared, gruel , rags and tear s Pover ty hunger and gr ime The work was hard, always on the guard Their treatment was a cr ime
In the school, the teacher s were cruel , They loved to cane al l day Learn the 3R’s you’re a super star Was school fun? - no way!
On the gravel the trains had to travel With no thought for pollution With open car ts, through the fields they would dar t A mobil ity solution!
Under Vicky’s reign, along came the train People thought “wow, I can wander” Sitt ing in a cosy seat al l nice and neat Journeys took people yonder. There were people in the town but Vicky wore the crown The people came from round about They built the Royal Alber t Hall and had a bal l The people loved her, no doubt.
It al l star ted long ago when King Pax was on the
throne . He was a wise and peaceful ruler and the
kingdom was a happy one with no war s or battles. King
Pax needed a son and heir to rule his kingdom when
he was dead. His dream son however turned into a
nightmare . The midwife swore the sight of the creature
near ly ki l led her. The Kings wife Eda gave bir th to a
monster. A boy with the tongue of a snake and scaled
hands with claws as big as cuttlefish bones and as
sharp as dagger s. His eyes rolled in his head and were
a horr ible emerald green. The king was horr ified. He
would not look upon his son. He was so embarrassed
he locked himself away for days. The kingdom felt the
uncer tainty of the king, and was worr ied. The king kept
strong though and faced the people . He locked away
the monster, not even giving him a name. He would
soon real ize that the decisions he made now sowed
the seed of his kingdom’s future . The seeds that were
sown however were black and cruel . The monster sat
in the dark, damp cell waiting and waiting and waiting.
The Kingdom was happy. Again people smiled and
children danced in the streets. The wor ld was at peace
with the kingdom and the centre of it al l was the
King’s town, Wodnesfeld. The poor were happy and
the r ich were happy and they al l l ived in harmony.
Then a tragedy fel l on the kingdom like a never moving
shadow. King Pax died. His wife had only bore a gir l
s ince the monster and she was only a tiny baby not
yet out of robes. She had been sent to be engaged to
a pr ince in another land. The kingdom cracked in two.
No woman had ever ruled before and many didn't
want Eda to be the fir st . A rumour spread l ike wildfire .
The monster. The monster. The monster. The evi l
lords of the kingdom decided after al l this t ime that
the monster should rule the land. They thought the
Monster would be dumb and they would rule for him.
How wrong they were . The Monster had been waiting
this day to come for thir ty long year s. He would make
the kingdom pay for his father's cruelty.
“People of Wodnesfeld. My father is dead. He was
cruel to me so I wil l pay it back on you.” The words
were shor t but meaningful . The lords hear ts groaned,
the people were terr ified. For twenty-four long year s
the monster ruled. For twenty-four long year s the
people suffered. Many died in those year s and any
children born were slaughtered to feed the Monster.
One day the scorched grass showed patches of
health, for a beautiful young woman with a small gir l
came to Wodnesfeld in search of Eda. The townfolk
told her she had long ago been ki l led by the monster.
The woman grew angr y and ordered to see the
monster. “Who are you fi lth?” questioned the monster.
“I am Lizbeth Hondur ing, wife of King Ace and
daughter of King Pax now what have you done with
his kingdom?” cr ied the woman. Then with a f lurr y of
hooves behind her came King Ace and his lords. And
off came the monster s head!The monster is dead. The
monster is dead. The monster is dead. The words rang
l ike wedding bells in people’s heads. Nobody could be
unhappy.
A woman and child looked at a grave “Mama who’s
grave is that that you stare at?” said the gir l .
The woman gave a wear y smile “Nobody’s. Look here’s
your papa, it ’s t ime to go.” The child looked cur iously
but she was never to know who or what lay beneath
the grave .

MR DAVE FRANKDAVE FRANK JOINED RED HOUSE SCHOOL IN 1977. HIS
CREDENTIALS QUALIFIED HIM TO TEACH BOTH CHEMISTRY AND
GAMES AND FOR MANY YEARS HE SUCCESSFULLY COACHED THE U13
RUGBY, SOCCER AND CRICKET TEAMS.
In his later year s he rel inquished his games duties to focus upon his chemistr y
teaching in which he was extremely successful , helping to gain A* grades for many
of the pupils he taught. Dave’s pupils were also ver y successful in chemistr y quizzes
against other local and independent schools, reaching regional finals on several
occasions and winning those finals twice to represent the Nor th East in the national
final .
He accompanied the ski tr ips on many visits to both Europe and the USA and the
‘bingo nights’ which he organised proved to be ver y popular. Dave was also actively
involved in organising many of the staff social functions and the teams in which he
belonged were occasional winner s of the PTA quiz. He was, for many year s, a Year
11 tutor and was largely responsible for producing the pupil profi les and collating
the photographs that appeared in the pupil leaver s’ books.
In his leisure time Dave is a keen golfer and cycl ist and an ardent suppor ter
of Middlesbrough Football club. These activit ies wil l keep him occupied in his
retirement, which we al l hope wil l be a long and happy one .
MISS LAURA EDWARDSLAURA EDWARDS JOINED THE SCHOOL IN 2007 AND HELPED BUILD

Life with Laura was never dull ; i f there was an adventure to be had Laura would
be there . Dur ing her time at Red House she became a mum to Louis and marr ied
her husband Chr is. Laura turned her hand to ever ything, usual ly with high levels of
success, although it is doubtful i f she wil l be appear ing on the Great Br it ish Bake off
anytime soon! With her infectious laugh and total commitment to the children in her
care she wil l be greatly missed. We wish Laura ever y success in the future .
MS JANE ROBERTSONJANE JOINED RED HOUSE IN 2012 AND DURING HER TIME WITH US
SHE BECAME A MOTHER TO OLIVIA AND CONTINUED TO DEVELOP
HER IMPRESSIVE SKILLS IN WORKING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN.
She demonstrated a professional approach to al l her work and brought a lot of
smiles to the children faces. Jane could always be rel ied upon to get involved, be
that dressing in more and more r idiculous costumes or simply finding that missing
piece of planning that had eluded ever yone else! We wish Jane the ver y best for
the future .

IT HAS BEEN AN EVENTFUL YEAR WITHIN THE PE DEPARTMENT WITH MANY NOTABLE SUCCESS STORIES. RED HOUSE PUPILS HAVE ONCE AGAIN, LEAPT OUT OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE AND FLOURISHED IN MANY ACTIVITIES THIS SEASON.
I have been delighted to hear

some to an exceptionally high level .
We have so many athletes who help
inspire the next generation at the

The gir ls travelled to Egglescl i f fe to
play Teesside High in the County
final . They won this game 2-1 and
were crowned Cleveland County
tournament champions for the 2nd
year in succession.
The team went on to represent
Cleveland County in the Nor th East
Semi-Final at Pocklington School in
York. There is no doubt that our
U16’s were the underdogs at this
stage of the National competit ion
but I was ver y impressed at how our
gir ls approached this tournament
– being drawn against larger
independent boarding schools;
St Peter s and Pocklington. I was
delighted at how we matched the
opposit ion on pace and ski l l , and the
gir ls gained a ver y respectable draw
against Pocklington and 1-0 loss
against St Peter s. Unfor tunately,
Pockl ington and St Peter s drew
against each other in the final game,
which resulted in us fai l ing to reach
the next round on goal difference;
1 goal ! This is the closest we have
come to reaching the next stage in
many year s so I was ver y proud of
their performance; well done!

RUGBYU11 RUGBY THE U11’S ENJOYED A PLEASING SEASON AND THERE WAS NO SHORTAGE OF ABILITY AND COMMITMENT IN THIS AGE GROUP.
The fixture l ist always produces
chal lenges and the boys responded
accordingly. They lost narrowly
to a talented Terr ington Hall side
and drew with Cundall Manor in
a thr i l l ing 14-14 encounter. They
recorded impressive victor ies
against Durham Chor ister s, Teesside
High and Queen Ethelburga’s.
DURHAM SCHOOL SEVENS - SEMI FINALISTSThe U11’s played with great ver ve
and intensity to produce some
excellent rugby. The significance
of their achievement in reaching
the semi final of this prestigious
competit ion should not be under
estimated. In winning their group,
the boys took some notable scalps;
Dame Allen’s 21-19 W
Merchiston Castle 26-12 W (Edinburgh)
Mowden Hall 24-7 W
St. Martin’s Ampleforth 26-7 W
King’s School Tynemouth 21-0 W
The boys lost to Newcastle School
for Boys in a hard fought semi final
by 3 tr ies to one but won many
plaudits for the quality of their
performance .
U 13 RUGBY XVThe U13’s produced a powerful
team and their strength in the
pack unner ved and upset al l their
opponents. They recorded emphatic
victor ies against Durham Chor ister s,
43-0 and Hipperholme Grammar
School, 81-7! They also notched
victor ies against Aysgar th ‘B’ ,
Teesside High, Fyl ing Hall and Argyle
House .
HOCKEYU11 HOCKEY: NORTH OF ENGLAND FINALISTS - 4TH PLACETHE U11 HOCKEY TEAM ENJOYED AN EXTENDED RUN IN THIS COMPETITION WHICH SAW THEM THROUGH TO THE COUNTY, NORTH EAST AND ULTIMATELY THE NORTH FINALS.
This in itself is a great achievement
but the style and manner of their
success would suggest these boys
have a great future in this spor t.
Having quali fied for the Nor th East
finals the team overcame strong
opposit ion to represent the Nor th
East at Leeds Univer sity in the
Nor th finals. The Nor th Finals
presented a considerable chal lenge
but the team were undaunted; a
draw, 1-1, against King’s Chester,
a 2-1 win against Arnold KEGM
(Isle of Man) and a 0-0 draw with
Ashvil le College (Harrogate) saw us
into the semi finals .
We faced Kir kham Grammar in
the semi but a fai lure to conver t
chances meant we were punished
in the later stages of the match.
The boys were disappointed but,
on reflection, being one of the top
four hockey schools in the Nor th of
England is fantastic achievement for
a school of our size . (It is also wor th
noting that Red House finished in
the top four last year as well !) .
U12 HOCKEY: DURHAM AND CLEVELAND 7 A SIDE CHAMPIONSDURHAM AND CLEVELAND LEAGUE WINNERS
THE U12’s began their season
in some style by dominating and
ult imately winning the County 7
a-side Tournament at Egglescl i f fe
School.
THE U12’s went on to enjoy
outstanding season and added to
their tournament success by winning
the Durham and Cleveland Hockey
League . The boys were unbeaten
and, in fact, won their games without
conceding a goal . An emphatic
5-0 win against Yarm School was
cer tainly one of the highl ights of the
season.
U16 HOCKEY: NATIONAL CUP - NORTH EAST SEMI-FINALISTS
THE U16’s produced an excellent
performance to beat Yarm School
2-1 in the Durham finals and were
delighted to represent Durham
and Cleveland in the next stage of
this national competit ion. It was
a great shame, therefore , that we
had to send a greatly depleted
side to face Yorkshire’s Amplefor th
College . A combination of injur ies
and GCSE commitments meant that,
with the exception of one Year 11
pupil , our U15 team had to step
up to the plate . The boys worked
tirelessly to produce an outstanding
performance of ski l l , resi l ience and
commitment but, ult imately, the
task was beyond our young team.
It was a spir ited display that was
recognised and greatly appreciated
by our opponents.
FOOTBALLU9 FOOTBALL: YARM 6 A-SIDE TOURNAMENT – WINNERSTHE U9’S WERE ENTERED INTO THIS TOURNAMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WERE PROVED TO BE OUTSTANDING AMBASSADORS FOR THE SCHOOL IN TERMS OF THEIR ENDEAVOUR, BEHAVIOUR AND THE QUALITY OF THEIR PLAY.
The boys got off to an excellent
star t with a 4-1 win against
Sunder land High and total ly
dominated Barnard Castle to
secure a 4-0 victor y in their second
game. The third game against
Royal Grammar School Newcastle
proved more chal lenging and we
surrendered a one goal advantage in
the final minutes to lose two one .
This did not affect our progress in
the tournament, however, and we
entered the semi finals as runner s
up of our group. We were by far
the better side in the semi final
against Bow School but fai led to
capital ise on our chances. The
match was decided on penalt ies and
the boys were wor thy final ists.
The final presented us with a
chance to avenge our ear l ier defeat
against RGS. The chal lenge was
significant but the boys produced
an exceptional performance . The
opposit ion were strong and ski l ful
but had no answer to our energy
and determination. A 1-0 victor y
was secured by an outstanding goal
and the boys were able to celebrate
with the trophy.

Sports Review
U11 FOOTBALLTHE U11’s play a 7 a side format
with an ‘A’ and ‘B’ team at each
fixture . Both teams represented
the school with distinction; playing
with considerable ski l l and tactical
under standing.
The A team recorded victor ies
against Teesside High, Cundall Manor
and Queen Ethleburga’s. They drew
with Terr ington and lost to a ver y
strong Newcastle School for Boys.
U13 FOOTBALL: POLAM HALL 7 A-SIDE TOURNAMENT - WINNERS
Seven teams entered this
tournament and the U13’s were
delighted to come away with the
trophy after a ver y enjoyable
afternoon of football . The boys
played an enter taining brand of
football and won their fir st five
games with intel l igent passing
and some cl inical finishing. Facing
Sunder land High in our final game
we knew that a win or draw would
secure the si lverware . The team
played with composure and purpose
and took a well deser ved lead.
They looked al l set to cruise to
victor y but a late equaliser sent
ner ves jangl ing in the final minute .
The draw was sufficient, however,
and the boys could celebrate an
excellent result .
U16 FOOTBALL
THE U16’s got off to an impressive
star t in the ISFA National Cup with
a 5-0 victor y over Newcastle School
for Boys. The glor ious cup run came
to an abrupt end, however, with a
l imp performance against Hil l House
School, Doncaster. There is no doubt
that the team sadly missed the
inf luence and creativity of Allan Bird
who was unable to play due to his
commitments with Middlesbrough
F.C . Academy.
CRICKETTHE CRICKET SEASON WAS NOTABLE FOR ITS SUCCESS THIS YEAR AND THE RED HOUSE SCORE BOOK MAKES VERY PLEASANT READING. ACROSS THE AGE RANGES WE PLAYED 15 MATCHES AGAINST OTHER SCHOOLS AND WERE VICTORIOUS IN 14 OF THOSE MATCHES.
THE U11’s beat strong opposit ion in
matches against Durham Chor ister s,
Bow School and Terr ington Hall .
Atticus Gar l ick scored a superb
68n.o. against Terr ington and
Matthew McDonaugh performed
well with the bal l . Atticus and Josh
Taylor batted with f lair and technical
abi l ity in al l matches. Unfor tunately
their season was badly affected by
the weather with several matches
rained off .
AT U12 level Ben Swindale gave
a dominant performance against
Newcastle School For Boys hitt ing
55 not out and taking 4 for 11.
THE U13’s played the most
consistent cr icket beating
Terr ington, TSHS, Fyl ing Hall ,
Chor ister s, Argyle House and Yarm.
Notable contr ibutions included an
unbeaten 50 by Sam Nor th against
Chor ister s and impressive bowling
by Will Dexter and Ben Swindale
throughout the season.
THE U14’s beat Yarm with Sam
Chell scor ing valuable runs and
Sam Korsen returning remarkable
bowling figures of 5 for 2!
THE U15’s benefitted from the
exper ience of captain Ben Tomlinson
in their matches. They secured
victor ies against Yarm, Argyle
House and TSHS. Michael Andrews
hit an aggressive 56n.o. and Sam
Master son, Ross Har l l and Jack
Hewitt always threatened with the
bal l .
