Top Field

The Top Field was the last remaining grassy area at BRGS, before construction began for the new astroturf and primary school. It was reached after a long and arduous trek up Glen Road.

Used in the summer (and let's face it, it was too damp at any other time), it hosted such disciplines as the 80m-steeply-uphill sprint, the 317m track event, cross-country running, the long jump and an introduction to Rugby.

It was also pressed into service for events such as the Teachers Sports Day, and in 2004 hosted the whole-school photograph.

The field is being built on (or at least encroached on) by the building of the new astroturf and Water-fold (Clough-foot?) Super Primary School, which with around 500 students, and hence 500 school mums dropping them off, will have absolutely no effect on the parking situation in Waterfoot whatsoever....

Every snowy winter day it played host to large snowball fights, with the only rule being: Attack all younger years!
