Our U16 squad became only the second Habs team in the last 20 years to win its respective pool at the National Schools Rugby 7s tournament at Rosslyn Park earlier this term.
To be one of 64 pool winners out of a total of 256 schools who entered the U16 tournament is a wonderful achievement and testament to the ability and attitude of our combined U15 and U16 players.
The squad won their first two games before facing St Paul’s to determine who would win the pool and enter the elimination round. The team produced a brilliant performance and won the match 38 to 17, putting them through to the elimination round that determined the final 32 teams that would be entered into the second day of the tournament.
The squad faced St George’s from Weybridge, who had a rich history of success in Rugby 7s. The team played well but were unable to progress through to the final 32 teams with the win going to St George’s.
The players should be immensely proud of their achievements, the school is very excited to see what the future holds for such a committed and talented group of students.
