Day boys v Boarders Rugby

Day boys v Boarders Rugby - the Forbes Brothers Family Cup

On Friday 17 September the annual Boarders vs Day boys rugby match took place at Fendalton Park.

It was 12 a side rugby, and the Captains were Liam Singer for the Day boys and myself. The Boarders kicked off and fought hard and got the first try. Then the Day boys kicked off and got a try and suddenly it was even. At half time, both teams got together and had a good chat about what they needed to improve on. At the start of the second half, the Day boys got a quick try and they were up, the pressure was on. The Boarders came back and scored two more tries. Now it was close. They got a try and it was even and everyone was determined to get one more try. We kicked off and got the ball back and found a gap and went for it. We put the hammer down and got a try! Now the Boarders were up by five points. With not long to go, we got the ball off the kick off and took it to the ground. We then passed it out and kicked it out!

The Boarders were happy and it was a good and close game. Both teams bumped elbows and said ‘good game’.

Thank you to all the coaches, Mr Gilbert for refereeing, and Mr Codd for live streaming the game.

Service of Remembrance

The Medbury Service of Remembrance was held in The Medbury Centre on Sunday 2 May.

This was an opportunity for boys and their families to remember Medbury Old Boys who died in World War 2.

During the Service, all the names on the School Roll of Honour were read out loud. Anthea Herron and I laid a wreath together in their memory. The Choristers sang “In Flanders Field” by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae and Oscar Stove played the Last Post, a ‘final farewell’ to those who died. “They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.”
