The U15s had a fantastic start to their season with a memorable 15-14 victory away at Warwick School. After a tense start to the game, the team fought together and claimed their trophy. Shout-out to Stanley P who, in his debut, scored a penalty, setting the team up for the win.

The term ended with a fantastic achievement from our U15A squad, who were crowned St Jo’s Festival Bowl Winners! It was an incredible two days of rugby against some of the best schools in the country but the team showed resilience and teamwork throughout.

A proud moment for the squad!
