I'm trying to work out which school you go to then. :tongue: Ampleforth or Colchester? We lost to Haberdashers' in the semi (I'm from the Irish team).

I'm familiar with the fella you're talking about haha! They beat Habs in the final last year as well. In 7 years, he's won the Junior competition twice, the Senior Plate once and the Senior competition three times. Mental. :eek:

Does anyone know how to apply for this? I tried messaging the email I found online, but to no avail. Perhaps I have the wrong email?

You would have to speak to a relevant teacher in your school and then get in touch with a regional coordinator.

If that email doesn't work, perhaps contacting another school who takes part would help. Do you mind me asking which area you're from? I may be able to tell you which school(s) takes part.

Don't worry, I managed to get a response in the end from the email.

The Regional Coordinator emailed me stating my school will receive formal invitations shortly. So now I've just got to wait.

That's great! The National Finals were played there last month. The new competition will start late this year I believe. In the mean time, I have some past questions I can email you for your own perusal if you wish?

If you still have access to those past questions, I would also be very grateful if you could provide me with some.
