Today saw the conclusion to the Year 11’s XV a side season, with a ‘Derby’ match against Wycliffe College.
After a nail biting first match earlier in the season, this one had everything to play for.
Westonbirt started well, with a series of set plays designed to ask questions of the Wycliffe defence.
Scoring first Westonbirt gained confidence, and then scored their ‘try of the season’ with almost the entire team involved followed by Monty E timing his run to perfection, scoring under the posts.
Wycliffe hit back with a very well worked try to take the score to 12 - 5.
The second half was a similar story with Westonbirt working through their play book, working up the field in attach, and when defending their position they held strong against the power and pace of Wycliffe.
In to the early stages of the second half the ‘finishers’ entered the field of play, notably two of our international boarders who started their rugby journey only 5 weeks ago.
Westonbirt scored a brace of try’s, and with Miss Webster, Mr Chatterjee and their Year 11 peers cheering on they finished victorious. What a fantastic performance and way to end their season.
