HMC Super 7s Series at St. Peter’s York
The Year 9 boys travelled to St. Peter’s School on Wednesday to take part in the HMC Super 7s Series. In game one they faced Pocklington School and started well with first half tries from Joshua L, Jake S and William V. Pocklington rallied in the second half to come back but NSB held on for a 19-14 win. In game two, NSB faced Hill House School, Doncaster. The boys played some excellent sevens to run out 40-0 victors, tries coming from Max M, Lewis R (2), Jake S (2) and Tristan S. In game three, NSB faced the hosts St. Peter’s. NSB trailed 19-14 at half time with tries from Lewis R and Jake S. St. Peter’s played superbly in the second half to claim a 43-26 win, NSB’s additional tries coming from Robertson and Sommersall. In game four, NSB faced RGS Newcastle in a hard fought encounter. Tries from Leslie, Robertson, Scott and Sommersall (2) gave NSB a 33-21 win. In the final group game, NSB overcame Birkdale School, Sheffield 40-12, tries from Oliver F, Oliver M, R, Scott (2) and Varley.
This placed NSB second in the group and into the plate final against Mount St. Mary’s, Sheffield. NSB led 10-5 at half time thanks to tries from Mullarkey and Scott. However, a yellow card in the second half added pressure and, despite a third try by Sommersall, NSB lost 19-17.
Well done to the young men of excellent character who represented the school so well; Philip D, Oliver F, James H, Will H, Joshua L, Max M, Oliver M, George R, Lewis R, Jake S, Tristan S and William V.
