Top match for 1st XV rugby team

The 1st XV rugby team extended their unbeaten run with an excellent victory away at Giggleswick School on the Saturday before half term.

They again started well and, after a period of pressure, scrum half Daniel B dived over. Outstanding hooker Oliver F crashed over for the second, with full back Sam T and flanker Ewan G completing the first half scoring for a 24-7 lead.

In the second half, Under 16 fly half William T got the back line moving well and, following some excellent ball movement, captain Fergus S went over. Fletcher crossed for his second before full back Thomas B dived over after the ball had gone through several pairs of hands, with Harvey G providing the scoring pass.

The penultimate try was the second for man of the match Goodridge and the final try was a smart interception by centre Philip D’ who raced in from 60 metres to make the final score 57-12.

Brilliant result, boys! Well done.
