The Joint is JUmPING

House Jazz Cabaret

A wonderful evening, as the Timbralls' venerable dining-room was transformed into the jazz club of Josh 'Fingers' K for a while, and Max G and Obum got to feel what it is like to belt out standards whilst backed by a 19-piece orchestra.

The Founder's FeasT 2024

Sock Supper 2024

The 603rd birthday of Henry VI proved a fitting date for this year's Founder's Feast. After a sumptuous dinner created by Louise and Bertha, Obum added a touch of class to the occasion with his usual smooth ability to deliver nostalgic Christmas classics as if they had been written especially for him. Next, the screening of a gritty psychodrama by Josh Kim conjured up some ghosts of Christmas past in the shape of a few much-missed Timbralls alumni, to roars of delighted applause from the boys. A rousing whole-house rendition of Personent Hodie followed, rouding off the evening with appropriately medieval stomp.

Music and Culture 2024

WING house concert rocks Upper School

The reputation of the Timbralls as one of Eton's most musical houses was once again burnished at the Michaelmas house concert. More boys than ever contributed stylish jazz and rock numbers, adding extra pep (and pop) to the classical mix.

WING's B-Block All Stars take on the mighty Hopgarden

Penalties!

In the end, with the score 3-0 to WING at half-time, it all came down to the team-talks. While Josh C gave his troops the full inspirational Mourinho, AGDF's housemaster made a few pithy commts about tactics. The effect was swift and decisive. At 3-3, the game went to penalties and -- thanks to some great saves from Luke F -- we just edged an exciting but largely undeserved victory.

SEnior Leagues Football

The WING Giantkillers strike again

Once again, the boys in purple somehow managed to dismantle stronger opposition in this compelling victory over AMM. Some characteristically stout-hearted defence was buttressed by a fine performance from Hugo J in goal.

SENIor TIES FOOTBALL

WING just too strong for EJNR

This was a thrilling victory against skilful opposition, who had dominated the first half, only to be torn apart by a WING team playing with exceptional grit, nerve and searing physicality after the break. It looked simply as if the Timbralls players wanted this one more. A fabulous performance all round, including from our supporters on the touch-line, who also won the important battle over who could shout the loudest.

FootBALL: JUnior LEAGUES

A Mighty Victory

The WING junior leagues football team really got into their stride this week with a high-energy win over IRS. With a strong team performance and much better defence than in our last few outings, this is a team whose potential is only just beginning to show itself. Click on the image to view the gallery.

Junior Ties football: the first round

All's Well that Ends Well

It is fair to say that PEPW had much the better of this encounter. Nevertheless, our spirited WING players harried the opposition with tireless élan, defended with considerable pluck and were rewarded with a well-deserved wonder goal from James L in the dying seconds.

Another Oar for the Wall

The WING boat may have started from the very back of the field, but there was no stopping the boys in mauve as they bumped no fewer than 6 other boats in the course of 5 races on Dorney Lake. Our quartet of Thomas, Matthias, Charlie and Ras rowed with power and aplomb, taking no prisoners and deservedly snaffling the silverware by the end.

Senior Leagues Field Game

An epic performance from our battle-hardened team of B-block and C-block players, who made light of the inclement February weather and somehow managed to hold their fearsome opposition to a 9-8 nail-biting finish.

Musical success

A superb showing in this year's Wind competition

With Bill ending upHighly Commended for his flute-playing (and therefore runner-up to the eventual winner), and with a Commendation for Dillon for his performance on the oboe, this was a successful afternoon for WING's musicians - especially as Alex also impressed with his clarinet tone in some very beautiful Mozart.

FIELD GAME

Both Juniors and Seniors in action in this distinctively Etonian and sometimes impenetrable sport.

Senior Ties vs PEPW

This was a game that was very tight in the first half, and then just somehow slipped away in the second. There was some strong play from a talented WING team, nonetheless, and plenty of spirited grit of which to feel proud.

Junior Shield

Two short matches in quick succession tested the fitness and resilience of our Juniors, and they were not found wanting. On the contrary, the WING team is developing into a formidable unit, with a motivated bully and some very deft Fly action. Both matches resulted in comfortable victories, so that the confidence of this young team is growing all the time.

F-block Concert

Hosted by WING in his drawing-room (complete with his superb Yamaha grand), this was a lovely concert from a year-group with tremendous musical strength in depth, as well as a spirited culture of mutual support amongst the boys.An eclectic program spanned the centuries from Mozart to The Cure via Brahms and Kabalevsky, with performances from three violinists, piano, drums, bassoon, clarinet, euphonium, guitar, singing and spoken voice,Click on the image for the full gallery of images.

The Flick

A superbly intense and touching production of Annie Baker's Pulitzer Prize-winning 2013 play about three ushers at a struggling movie theatre, performed in the Empty Space theatre in January 2024. Co-directed by Louis, and with an extraordinary performance from Obum as the show's anxiety-riddled central character, this was student-led theatre at its finest. Password clue is in the pic; lower case, but with an initial cap.

Rugby 7s

A superb run from the juniors, led by Anthony and Harry, took them to the semi-final of the main competition. The seniors were slower to find their competitive edge, but still managed to battle their way to the final of the Consolation tournament.

Steeplechase 2023

Not a victorious event for the team from The Timbralls, but all our runners contributed, with particularly spirited performances from Adi in the senior race and Georg in the juniors.
