SOCCER The big news this year was the soccer tour, but that is adequately covered elsewhere. Let it suffice therefore, for me to say that a good time was had by all, and that Saltus (and Bermuda) could have had no better ambassadors than those boys who went to England. Senior: the first XI functioned admirably around Captain Canard Pascoe, who was called upon at times to forsake his sweeper role, and help us in different positions. As such, he finished the season as leading goalscorer. Although missing the ' stars ' of previous years, the team did exceptionally well. Their final position of sixth belies the standard of play they produced. Possibly a breakdown of their results would be fairer: v. Berkeley, lost 1-3. v. Northlands, won 3-1. v. Sandys, won 2-1. v. Robert Crawford, drew 1-1. Senior Team (l-r) (back row): Mr. M. Durrant (coach), G. Perry, P. Bacon, S. Turner, D. Trott, D. Burgess, F. Terceria, Mr. J. Beard (coach) (front row): J. Amaral, S. Bagen, W. Pimental, C. Pascoe, M Burch, W. Campbell, C. Bardgett, J. Wade. v. Whitney, lost 3-4. v. Warwick Secondary, lost 2-4. v. Warwick Academy, won 9-1. Some of the best soccer was reserved for cup matches, where, having beaten Robert Crawford and Warwick Academy, we were very unlucky to lose 2-1 to Warwick Secondary in an exciting final. Colours to: Pascoe, Burch, Wade, Amaral. Perry, Bacon, Turner, Terceira, Bagen, Pimental, Campbell, Bardgett, Trott. Intermediate: this was a team with tremendous potential that should have achieved more than it actually Intermediate Team — coached by Mr. P. Morris, not in picture, (l-r) (back row): J. Wight, R. Ramirez, C. Brown, D. Mocklow, D. Moniz. (front row): C. Clift, T. Harvey, C. Wright, E. Pascoe, V. Chaves, did. The hard work put in by Mr. Morris was not always evident in games, but nevertheless they improved as the season went on and should do well for us in the future. P8, W4, L4. Junior a very encouraging season; although often dwarfed by their opponents, their never-say-die attitude saw them through many a difficult Junior Team — coached by Mr. S. Masters, not in picture, (l-r) (back row): M. Way, R. Hamill, R. Amott, R. Smith, A. Marsh, R. Boyle, T. Mouchette. (front row): G. Chambers, P. Bean, A. Dias, A. Bortoli, P. Brown, situation. Their enthusiasm and growing skill augers well for the future. P6, W1,L1,D4. Inter-House: the house competition was again a very keenly contested affair. In the Junior, Darrell defeated Saltus in the final, but Saltus got their revenge in the senior final when they defeated Darrell.

Senior School Sports Report Sport at Saltus continues to develop, and many trophies and titles came the School ' s way in 1978 9. The most impressive successes were recorded in swimming, badminton, golf and tennis, where the School enjoyed almost unchallenged domination. Further successes were earned in soccer, rugby, volleyball, basketball and track field. Undoubtedly, the most important development in the sports programme was the completion of the new Gymnasium — detailed earlier. Although the School saw little chance to capitalise on the new facilities this year, it is significant, perhaps, to note the success achieved in the sports of volleyball and basketball without the use of the new Gymnasium. Since the facilities are now available to the students, it is not unlikely that these sports will soon reach the ' domination ' category . . . Another highlight of the year was the soccer team ' s tour of England and France — and this, too, is covered in detail within. Once again, credit in large part must be directed towards Jon Beard and the many other teachers who devoted time and effort with the common goal of instilling enthusiasm, offering their valuable advice and fostering sportsmanship in general. Before relishing the many successes that this report describes, it is worthwhile to admire these efforts first — efforts which are, generally, insufficiently acknowledged.
