Head's Newsletter 23 March 2018

The Senior squad finished their season with a good day out at the National 7s hosted by Rosslyn Park. Aiming to repeat last year’s squad heroics the boys trained hard and were in good form. A strong start against Milton Abbey School saw Tiffin run out comfortable winners. In their second game, despite tries from Captain fantastic Gavin Griffith and Jielong Yong, the boys took their foot off the gas and conceded a late try to lose the game and essentially rule themselves out from progressing in the tournament. Two more tough games including a live-streamed game on the main pitch against Daily Mail Cup finalists, Blundells School saw the boys finish fourth in their group but all had a good day. As Mr Watkins put it ‘we won the last 30 seconds of the last game you will play in the shirt’. Fittingly the last try of the game was scored by Rory Coats who has been a stalwart of the 1 st XV this year. Well done and my thanks to all the boys who committed to the team ethic this year and turned out week in week out to train and play with their peers as a team unit.
