THERE were celebrations at Lancing College after the school's first team triumphed in a prestigious football league.
The team won the final of the Southern Independent Schools League, defeating the team from Highgate School, which was representing the northern section of the competition.
Lancing took the lead, thanks to a sweet volley from John Symons, and set them on course for victory.
In the first half of term, Lancing have won eight consecutive victories against other school sides, scoring 22 goals and conceding only one.
And football isn't the only sport Lancing College pupils are excelling in.
Participation in competitive sports is high in both junior and senior age groups.
Lancing has won the independent schools squash title, and the under-15 squash team reached the last 16 nationally.
National success has also been achieved in more unusual sports such as fencing and biathlon.
