Pelican Cup

Our U11 rugby team had a full day of competitive rugby at the Brighton College tournament, taking on a strong field and showing real determination throughout. There were some excellent performances, tough games and plenty of moments to be proud of. Simon Leegood

U10A

Our U10s joined 10 other top rugby-playing prep schools at Tonbridge this week for the annual Rugby Festival. ⁠

The mud and cold, torrential conditions did not dampen spirits and it was a great afternoon with the boys improving throughout the tournament and showing great resilience in some touch conditions.⁠

U9A

The Under 9 A rugby team went over to Dulwich Cranbrook to play a triangular match v Dulwich Cranbrook and Sutton Valence. The conditions all round were simply horrendous, The combination of rain, cold and mud were always going to prove a challenge. These were our last matches of the season and the boys excelled themselves.
They beat Sutton Valence and drew with Dulwich Cranbrook. They have been a pleasure to coach and good luck in the future! Simon Leegood
