DSG takes Anne Bandy Shield

Three records fell when Kingswood College, the Diocesan School for Girls and Victoria Girls High School pupils all took to the field to compete in the annual Girls' Inter-Schools Triangular Athletics meeting.

Three records fell when Kingswood College, the Diocesan School for Girls and Victoria Girls High School pupils all took to the field to compete in the annual Girls' Inter-Schools Triangular Athletics meeting.

Hosted at Kingswood on Wednesday, girls competed in the U14, U16 and Open age groups.

Of the three bars raised at the event, DSG U14 pupil Hannah Rippon broke both the 100m and 200m records, with her times being 13,10 seconds and 27,50 seconds respectively.

Erin Shillaw of Kingswood created a new U14 80m hurdle record with a time of 13,78 seconds.

DSG were the overall winners this year with 256 points, followed by last year's winners, Kingswood, on 217 points. Victoria Girls finished with 199 points.

The Anne Bandey Shield has been awarded to the competition's winner since 2004, the same year that a former DSG pupil Anne Bandey passed away after a 14-year battle with cancer.

Bandey had strong ties with DSG and Kingswood. Her husband, Mike, was a former Kingswood pupil and organised the girls' triangular for over two decades. It has been running for more than 25 years.

According to a message on the event programme, Anne embodied the spirit of determination and the desire to win. It is written that she never gave up on her business nor her fight against cancer. Her faith was unshakable and her self belief was never in doubt.

The shield was crafted by Eben van Vuuren who has been Kingswood's maintenance manager for over 30 years. The wood used to fashion it was rescued from the pine floors of the original school building, which burnt down in 1996.
