Rugby news At the end of February, James Page (No.7), captain of the Malvern College 1st XV and a good prospect at Loose Head Prop, played for the Worcester Warriors Cavaliers (A team) in a match against The British Army. James is part of the Worcestershire Warriors Academy and will join them on a one-year full time contract when he finishes school at the end of this year. Both James and Piers Morrell (No.2) have been selected for the Midlands U18 Assessment squad, a great achievement for two boys who work extremely hard at their Rugby on and off the field.
George Amphlett (No.9) has also been selected into the U16 Midlands Assessment Squad. George, who plays Centre, is a firm starter in Malvern’s 1st XV, which for a pupil in the Hundred is a great achievement. George also represents the North Midlands and Worcester Warriors U16s and his strengths are his physicality, pace and committed attitude. All three have been outstanding in all of our fixtures this term and fully deserve these selections.
Pupils gain their Yellow Belts Black Dragon Mixed Martials Arts is run as a cocurricular activity at Malvern each week and we congratulate the following for successfully gaining their Yellow Belts: Holly Hobson (No.3), Georgia Rogers-Coltman (No.3), Lucy Davies (No.3), Clare Cocker (EH), Veda Baldota (EH) and Anna Drzeniek (No.3). The girls achieved their belts by demonstrating aspects of Muay Thai, Kick-Boxing and Jiu Jutsu through which they had learned discipline, selfcontrol and the ability to defend themselves in simulated combat situations.
