RUGBY REPORT

Tiffin rugby has had a successful start to the half term with some fine results. A Saturday block against St George’s Weybridge ended finely balanced with some excellent Tiffin victories including all matches at home. The 1 st XV continue to improve and although they lost to St George’s, the scoreline did not do the boys justice and they deserved more than the one try scored. This promising performance was built on further when the 1 st XV recorded a fine win against Gordons school. JoJo Cronin was warrior- esque from No.8 leading the defensive effort with powerful tackles.

Luke Nichols leaps like a salmon to claim a lineout

The U13s continue their fine run of form with wins against St George’s, Rutlish and Royal Albert and Alexandra. Their record now stands at 11 wins, the Cragg Cup won and 1 draw. They have lost one game since October 2017! We hope the boys keep it up and don’t let the success go to their heads! Tiffin is currently fielding an incredible 20 teams across all years – but with that, comes extra demand on resources, kit, transport, first aid, Refs etc which is why we’re reaching out to you to become part of #TeamTIPRA (Tiffin Parent Rugby Association). If you are able to make a one-off, annual payment of £40 or a monthly standing order of £4 you can make a HUGE difference to the amount of additional support we can provide for our boys. So, why not sign up this term (referencing your son’s name and year group)? Thank you!!

Shyam dominates a collision against Gordons

The team then capitalised on this victory with another one against Windsor and then a third in a row against ACS Cobham last Saturday. Special mention must go to Matt Cormack in Year 11 who has now scored two tries in three games, Shyam Patel, who joined the school only this year, has become a stalwart of the 1 st XV and Huw Morris who has been invited to train with the Wales U19 team; a fine achievement indeed.
