Weekly sports round-up
The summer season of sport at The Perse is well underway, with pupils enjoying getting stuck into their tennis, rounders and cricket fixtures. The U13 rugby 7s team were crowned winners of the Northampton Saints Elite Insurance Cup, in a thrilling final against Cotswold School, which saw them win 19-14. Over the weekend, The Perse hosted the first Invitational Indoor Cricket Tournament for girls, and our U15A girls’ team put in a great performance, beating schools from across the region to take the top spot.
