Rugb y
We began the year with a highly successful pre-
season tour to Australia and South East Asia for our
seniors and U16s. Squad morale was high after this
trip of a lifetime and the players were committed to
hard work and resilience. the region and all of our teams enjoyed the experience
of taking part in the National Schools Sevens at
Rosslyn Park. Individual achievements include Jonathan
Francombe being selected for Saracens U15 EPDG and
Tom Day for Saracens U14 PDG.
The U16s in particular had a superb season. Under
the superb tutelage of Mr Hulston and Mr Lilley, they
recorded an unbeaten season until their final game
of the term, unfortunately losing out to a dogged
Caterham side. This has helped to inspire a fine group
of sportsmen, gaining necessary confidence to enter
senior rugby next year. A stronger team culture has developed and
responsibilities and expectations are adhered to by
all involved. We now compete within a league format
across all age groups and are looking forward to a short
tour. In addition to this, our current crop of budding
sportsmen in Years 8 to 10 will be offered the chance to
support the British Lions and tour South Africa in 2021.
Exciting times lie ahead for Sevenoaks School rugby.
The fixture list is developing to allow our teams to
complete against some of the best rugby schools in
SEVENOAKS SCHOOL 2018-2019
