Rugby
After a tough Wednesday, where the seniors exited the national cup, all years responded for the local derby against Haberdashers Adams’. In tremendous style, a second year clean sweep is a fabulous achievement at 1st team, U16s, 15s and 14 level.
The result of the weekend remains the U14 team overcoming a heavy cup exit last year. Mr Mathias writes – “a Heroic defence and a monumental team effort saw the U14s beat last year’s county champions 19 – 17 in an epic clash”.
