The Year 7’s played their first ever touring game of rugby against Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School, Sutton Coldfield.
In a very close and fast paced game, both sides started with the intensity to play fast Rugby.
The Western defensive line held the home side at Bay for the first 10 minutes before Bishop daisies finally broke through to score in the corner. The Year 7’s showed exceptional character and came back at Bishop Vesey’s time and time again finally crossing the line for the first time after a penalty move through Rafe R five minutes before halftime. Bishop Vesey’s cross the line twice more during the first half leaving the score 15 - 5 at halftime.
The second half was played with the same intensity and enjoyment as the first with some outstanding performances by all the players who gave their all Throughout the match. Three tries by Romeo M and exceptional defence alongside a purposeful attack meant the second half finished three tries a piece.
Final score 30 points to 20 in favour of our hosts, but this is a fixture and a tour that the students will remember forever.
What an amazing week it’s been for them.
