By Rohan van de Ven

On Thursday 24th November 2022, the boy's Rugby Union 1st XV embarked on a 3-hour bus journey up to Dauntsey’s School for the National Vase Area Knockout Final. On arrival, it was clear that the pitch was very much on an incline and the weather was up to all sorts, thunderstorm one moment, sun the other. Nevertheless, this didn’t phase the team a likes of Will Steed Shouksmith set th game very well.

Despite Dauntsey’s b were no match for ou been a strength all se and Daniels all contrib carries, making yard after yard every time

It was clear that the boys had silenced the Dauntsey’s crowd as I’m not too sure they were used to seeing their side getting dominated to such an extent Nonetheless, a mammoth effort from everyone involved led to the game finishing 37-7 to us; arguably the strongest performance of the season. The win was capped off by a rather satisfying chicken and chips match tea. The boys went on to face a strong Sutton Valence side, bowing out in the quarters
