Etone College

Introducing our brand new House Mascots! Over the short break our media team have been busy developing our updated House Logos. We have to say we are very impressed by the results.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a fire breather like Dragon, fire bird like Phoenix, galloping along like Centaur or soaring like Griffin, whichever house you belong to it make it hard not to have pride with logos such as these.

Let the games begin…

Birmingham City 1 Vs 7 Etone WBA

Etone WBA were back in action yesterday at the Pingles stadium in a 1pm Kick off against Birmingham city. Blues featured a huge starting lineup with the core of the team all comfortably over 6ft and physical within their play style. However Atkins opened the scoring to take the lead after spinning the defender on the 20 minute mark. Shortly after the home team doubled their lead through Atkins again. Brown headed in from a corner to make it 3-0 on the 40 minute mark. Then a deflected free kick from Atkins made it 4-0 and completed the hatrick. A first goal of the season for Astall also from a corner and 4th for Atkins made it 6-0 before complacency crept in allowing for a Blues consolation goal and a couple of warning signs were kept out by Bheda. Courts saw out the games final action with a 25 yard strike into the bottom right corner to seal an impressive 7-1 win and maintain the top spot in central 3.
