A Great Start for Rugby 1st XV
The Winter term has seen the 1st XV rugby get off to one of their best starts for many a season with 9 wins out of 13 games played so far, including pleasing wins over Pocklington, Leeds GSAL, Silcoates and Mount St. Marys’ and to date progressing to the fifth round in the national Daily Mail Vase competition.
The team play with a strong team ethic, are constantly striving to improve and have been well led by Ali Renshaw and Johnny Barrett and it is this formula that has contributed to their success so far. It also helps that the squad possesses players who have several seasons of experience at first team level, with Sam Rutter recently passing the 50 caps for the 1st XV and Ollie Mitchell closing in on that same figure. While Tom Papworth ,a stalwart of a dynamic back row, has found success at representative level, having been selected for Yorkshire at U17 level.
