Bexhill College’s badminton academy is through to the last 16 of a national competition following a 6-4 victory away to Chichester College. The team will next face Truro and Penwith College, from Cornwall, for a place in the quarter-finals.

The two runners will represent the South East in cross-country at the AoC National Championships in Nottingham this April.

Before half term, the women’s basketball academy will play away to Hackney College and the women’s volleyball academy will be away to Tresham College in the quarter-finals of their respective national cups.
