Competition is played in cricket, tennis, athletics and golf and Lindisfarne has won all three of the exchanges. In the latest the 1st XI cricketers beat Scots College by 9 wickets in the 3 day fixture with batsman Fergus Whyte scoring 71 and seam bowler Ben Frame securing match figures of 7 for 74 off 30 overs.
As a small school you need everyone pitching in and doing their bit to ensure we can remain competitive in sport. One in four Lindisfarne students represent Hawkes Bay or higher in their chosen pursuits. This is something that as a school we are extremely proud of.
