On the 3rd time of asking, the sun shone, the rain and rain abated and over 300 runners descended on the Parque da Cidade for the 2014 School Cross Country Championships.
Despite some last minute changes to the course, competition was healthy amongst the 10 different
races with some close finishes and the spirit of fair play exhibited by all.
The top 3 from each year now qualify for the Porto Schools championships in March next year.

Girls Varsity at CLIP
On Thursday the 20th February,
the OBS Girls Varsity team arrived at CLIP. We were early, but this gave us the
chance to watch other teams play and to see what we were up against. At
three-thirty it was our turn to play our first game against St. Dominic’s. We
were confident that with our new players on the team we would be successful.
Our first five: Carlota, Carolina, Marta, Carmo and Marta were key in ensuring
that we gained a large enough advantage in order to allow us to win the match.
Everyone on the team was able to play and in the end we won. As it was our only
game of the day we went home early in order to rest for a busy Friday with
three matches.
On Friday we had a match at 11o’clock against the CAISL Wolves, it was a team, who like us, had lots of younger players, however, this did not stop us from beating them 43- 9. It was a very fun match and again everyone had the chance to play and represent the school proudly. Our next two matches we knew would be hard, as CLIP and St Julian’s are a couple of the best teams. Against CLIP we lost…., we were happy, however that we had fought so hard and that we had been able to keep the difference low. We only had an hour to rest before our next match: St Julian’s. This proved to be an extremely hard game and as everyone was tired form the previous matches we found it hard to keep up with them. We did try our best but this was not enough for us to be able to win.
On Saturday we arrived at CLIP in time for our 12 o’clock game against CAISL. It was our last and decisive game. If we won we would come in third, if not we would end up in fourth. We played with our first five for the whole game and they played excellently, they fought and did their best. On the bench we screamed and supported our team mates. In the end the score was extremely close, 27- 23 to CAISL. It was sad that we were not able to win, but overall we were happy because we fought so hard to recover the points lost in the game.
It was then time for the presentation; overall we came in fourth place, a very satisfying result. We also received a placard with our team picture on it. CLIP came in first, St Julian’s in second and CAISL in third. On behalf of the team I would like to thank Professor Fernando for training us and for making the tournament such a fun and exciting tournament!
