Year 9 Rugby – Regional Bound!

Fresh from their success in the Christchurch Cup, our Year 9 boys headed to Swanage & Wareham RFC last week to compete in the Dorset & Wiltshire 10-a-Side Cup.

The boys made an excellent start, winning their pool convincingly and producing some fantastic rugby along the way. However, a slow start in the semi-final, coupled with some basic errors and a lack of preparation, ultimately cost them the opportunity to progress further.

Despite this disappointment, the boys finished an impressive 4th out of 16 teams. Even more encouragingly, the three teams finishing above us were all rugby-specialist schools competing in the National Cup!

Their performance was enough to secure qualification for the Regional Schools Tournament at Bodmin RFC in February.

Plenty of positives to take away, valuable lessons to learn and another exciting challenge ahead.

Well done, boys – keep working hard. The journey continues!
