Romans triumph at annual Multi-Sport Festival amid spirited competition
The annual Multi-Sport Festival was a resounding success, showcasing the athletic prowess and spirited competition among the students. The event featured a diverse array of sports, including volleyball, badminton, football, basketball, relay races, and the traditional tug of war. This year, the houses—Saxons, Vikings, Normans, and Romans—competed fiercely for the top spot.
Volleyball
The volleyball matches were intense, with each house demonstrating exceptional teamwork and skill. All houses showed remarkable defensive and attacking abilities, but it was the Saxons who dominated the court with their powerful serves and strategic plays.

Badminton
On the badminton courts, agility and precision were key. The Vikings and Saxons displayed outstanding racket skills and swift footwork, making them formidable opponents. However, the Romans' consistency and well-placed shots ultimately secured them the most victories in this category.

Football
The football games were a highlight of the festival, drawing large crowds of enthusiastic supporters. The Saxons exhibited great coordination and passing accuracy, while the Vikings impressed with their defensive strategies. However, it was the Normans and Romans, with their dynamic attacking plays, who managed to outscore their rivals, leading to some thrilling matches.

Basketball
Basketball saw high-energy performances from all houses. The Romans showed great prowess with their fast breaks and three-point shots. The Saxons, however, were particularly notable for their resilience and strong rebounds. The Vikings again stood out with their well-rounded team play, clinching crucial wins in close games.

Relay Races
The relay races tested the speed and endurance of the athletes. Each house had its standout runners, but it was the Romans who led the pack with their swift baton exchanges and consistent pace. The rest of the houses put up a strong fight, finishing closely behind.

Tug of War
The tug of war was the final event of the day, bringing a thrilling end to the festival. Strength and unity were on full display as each house pulled with all their might. The Saxons' powerful pull initially set the pace, but the Vikings, with their coordinated effort and sheer determination, emerged victorious, securing the last critical points needed for the overall win.

Overall Results
All houses performed admirably, showcasing not just athletic ability but also sportsmanship and team spirit. The Romans and Vikings had numerous standout moments, and the Saxons consistently demonstrated their competitive edge. However, it was the Romans who triumphed overall, their balanced performance across all events earning them the well-deserved victory.
