Skiers win the championship shield
Daisy Lee-Browne brings us the report from the Welsh Schools Skiing Championships
Sixteen skiers from Rydal Penrhos travelled to Llangrannog for the Welsh Ski Championships last weekend. After a night at Ty Hen Farm and a cooked breakfast, the skiers started their practice runs on the slope at the Urdd centre at Llangrannog.
Rydal Penrhos was the only school in the primary section to put in four teams, and there was some fierce competition from a fast team from Pentwynmawr, but Rydal Prep A team – Aaron Spencer, Ben Constantine, Alex Davies and Keira Bonnington – all skied brilliantly to win the championship shield.
Rydal Prep B team – Max Robinson, Daisy Lee-Browne, Finlay Hare and Harri Jones – secured bronze medals with a third team place.
Keira Bonnington won 2nd overall in the Girls’ competition and Ben Constantine won 2nd overall in the Boys competition, with Alex Davies and Aaron Spencer drawing for 4th place.
Thank you to Mrs Elson and Mrs Twine for organising the trip and well done to the team.
