Roofio, has taken the county by storm. In my recent interview with the Journal I gave them the ins and outs of what is now a truely momentous sport for any school boy.
Roofio, what we know to day, was revived by Bradley "BB" Taylor, sure it's taken some modernisations from what it used to be ( they certainly weren't playing with Asda "shoot" footballs in the 19th century.) I think this has been for the better.
I first got into Roofio at the end of the 2008 season, purely by chance I might add, due to one teams partner being ill in a 8vs doubles match. But from that match I was hooked, following the scoreboards each week.
Roofio's origins seem to lie quite far in the past, with several references to a similar game found in archives extending quite a way back, being a notorious sport amongst prefects. One attempt to remove the fame from the Headmaster using the cane on anyone who was found playing. Fortunatly the boys played through, otherwise the game might not exist today.
Roofio is a truely King's School Sport played only by the Upper Sixth Form. Its current patron is Head Boy, Will Holley.
