In early March, we hosted our 2019 leavers for an Old Moles vs Staff football match, five years after the boys left Moulsford. We were fortunate to enjoy blue skies and sunshine and it finally felt like Spring was in the air.

We were delighted to welcome 30 Old Moles and their parents back to school, just a few months before they leave their senior schools. With so many old boys attending, we were able to make two Old Moles teams who then played the staff and each other in a triangular tournament.

We started with a lovely friendly between the two Old Moles teams and then moved on to the slightly more competitive matches between staff and boys (Mr Sparrow still insists his yellow card wasn’t justified but the jury is out!). Despite a valiant effort, the staff were victorious in both games and came out as champions for the second year running.

After the match, it was wonderful to welcome the Old Moles, their parents, and the Staff to the marquee for a delicious chilli, and witness the year group back together enjoying each other’s company and catching up on old times. They also managed to have a wander around the school and appreciated their trip down memory lane.

Thanks to all those who attended and helped to make the event so special. We wish all the 2019 leavers good luck in their upcoming A Levels or IB exams, and send our best wishes as they move on to the next stage of their lives.

With two defeats in two years, we now look to the 2020 Old Moles to try to earn their place in history with a victory next year!
