Lambs Independent Schools’ Rugby trials
Articles by Nick Tisdale, Master i/c Rugby
We were delighted to welcome over 90 talented youngsters to a series of trial matches that took place in some testing October conditions. Antony Clark and James Skea, Chairman of The Lambs, welcomed the boys and their parents to Malvern College. The players’ performances were judged by Matt Kvesic (England & Gloucester), Rob Cook (Gloucester) and Worcester Warriors coaches. Well done to all the boys who took part. The boys who were selected from these trials went forward to represent the West Midlands U11 & U13 sides against their East Midlands counterparts in November and, from this trial match, a Midlands U11 & U13 side was selected for the Divisional Championships in early March.
Chosen for the Warriors U15 side Malvern College hosted the U15 Worcester Warriors against
in attendance. George Amphlett (No.9) played as fullback for the Worcester team, coached by the Master i/c Rugby at Malvern, Nick Tisdale. Worcester won the game 24-12. Franklin’s Gardens, George Amphlett (No.9) and Jules Hobbs (No.7) represented the Warriors U15 team and helped Warriors to a resounding 55-14 victory. A good result and the Northampton Saints; an excellent experience for them both.

Selected for the North Midlands U18 side James Page (No.7) and Piers Morell (No.2) have recently represented the North Midlands U18s Rugby team in games against Warwickshire, Staffordshire and Leicestershire . Both boys, currently in the Lower Sixth, are part of the Worcester Warriors U18 squad and play in a premiership league against the other Midlands and northern premiership clubs. Remaining matches this season are against Leicester Tigers and against U18 South at Kingsholm Gloucester. These boys have done very well indeed and each has another year at schoolboy representative Rugby ahead of him in which they can improve upon their game.
