Mark Hanslip, Master i/c Rubgy
Rugby is still the mainstay of the winter term and as many as 15 teams were fielded on some
Saturdays. The 1st XV had a mixed season with some extremely close matches and a very
strong win over Radley at the end of term. The 2nd XV played with skill and resilience
although they struggled to achieve results that reflected their effort. The 3rd XV had good
wins and the 4th XV played with enjoyment and camaraderie. The Colts had a difficult
season but the A’s won convincingly over Cheltenham College, MCS and Rugby and the B’s
finished the season with an emphatic win over Malvern 41-12. The Junior Colts played well
and the A’s only lost twice during a season that included decisive wins v Abingdon, Rugby,
Cheltenham and Malvern. The B’s enjoyed a run of three unbeaten games at the beginning
of the season and also secured a spectacular 55-0 win away at Clifton. The highlight for the
C’s was a 27-15 away win at The Oratory. The Yearlings teams enjoyed their introduction to
Rugby at St Edward’s and although they struggled to pick up many wins they showed signs
of promise. The A’s led Radley 14-0 in the first half, although they ultimately lost the match.
The B’s won against Abingdon and the C’s against The Oratory.
