RPNS7s: Superb final performance sees Whitgift claim U14 title

BECOME A PATRON

Whitgift sealed the U14 Cup with a stunning performance here in the Rosslyn Park HSBC National School 7s Final.

 

They beat a Taunton School side that had impressed onlookers all day by a tremendous 33-7 margin.

 

It capped a fine day for the Croydon side, they had come through their quarter final group ahead of QEH, the much fancied Glantaf, and their huge local rivals John Fisher.

 

They then faced Millfield in the semi finals. Millfield had emerged as many people’s favourites for the tournament, but Whitgift had other ideas. A thrilling game emerged, it went this way and that, but Whitgift eventually claimed it 28-21 in a thriller.

 

Taunton meanwhile had beaten a strong QEGS Wakefield side 20-7 to send them into the final.

 

Come the final though, Whitgift simply had too much. Right from the off they looked comfortable under pressure and on the ball and as the tries flowed, so too did their confidence as they built to a fantastic U14 Rosslyn Park HSBC National School 7s win.

 

U14 Plate

 

Over in the Plate Cheltenham College finally got their reward for a superb week across all age groups, beating Kirkham Grammar 17-12 in the final after beating Bedford 26-12 in the semi final having topped a tough pool that included Cardiff High School and Eltham College.

 

Whitgift Champs

 

The final word goes to Whitgift, who were magnificent though the tournament, beating some hugely fancied teams throughout before saving the best for last with that superb final performance. Watching them grow through the school will be fantastic, and could they yet be contenders in a few years as U16s and then U18s?
