Following KCS’s active support of the Merton Borough Championships, 13 boys across the age groups gained selection to represent Merton in the Surrey Schools Championships. Of particular note were Ed Martin (Lower Sixth) and Hugh Train (Upper Fifth), who both finished in the top twenty in their respective age groups. This meant they achieved selection for Surrey in the Southern Inter-Counties Championships, a feat not achieved often by KCS pupils. |
