Basketball news
The year 7 and 8s played their first game on 3 October against the City of London Academy and it was a good lesson for them although they lost by 6 points. The year 9 and 10s on the same night won in a good (if lacking in a little quality) encounter. Both games were in the Lambeth/Southwark League. Finally, Dunraven has been chosen for a National Basketball Association training camp on 10 October.
