December 13th, 2024

Our 1st XV Rugby boys are through to the National Bowl Semi Finals!

The squad beat Saffron Walden County High School 43-33 in the area final (round 4) of the competition, held on November 27th. They then beat Halifax-based Crossley Heath School 45-19 in the quarter finals, held on December 11th.

Mr Michael Batty, who is Head of Rugby at King's Ely Senior, said: "The 1st XVs played possibly the best rugby that they have played all season in the quarter final against Crossley Heath School. They played at such high intensity throughout the game that it blew the visitors away. They kept the score board ticking and kept the pressure on their opposition, with tries being scored at key moments."

The 1st XVs will play Stratford-upon-Avon's King Edward VI School in the semi finals next term. Good luck for this fixture, chaps!
