Rugby Update

Year 7 Rugby

The Year 7 Boys’ Rugby team hosted Park House School and Kennet School in a tournament. Those boys who weren’t selected last time had the opportunity to represent the school. The boys all played at least a half of each match, and played really well – for most it was their first ever experience of playing a rugby match. The score v Park House was 1 try to 3, and in the second match the boys beat Kennet by 3 tries to 1.

Players of the matches were Ethan Haste for his excellent tackling, and Mohamed Ibrahim for his brilliant ball carrying.

Year 8 Rugby

A massive well done to the Year 8 Rugby B team who played their first West Berkshire league matches against Park House School and Kennet School. Unfortunately, St Bart’s lost both matches. However, both matches were extremely competitive, and St Bart’s gave a brilliant account of themselves. Lots of good performances, but there were two stand out performances from Jayden and the captain, Raffety. Well done to all involved.

Year 10 Rugby

The Year 10 rugby team hosted The Downs School in their first league match of the season. The boys played some excellent rugby, and at half time the score (which goes forward as the league score) was St Bart’s 45, Downs 0. At half time all 9 of the St Bart’s subs came on and also played brilliantly, and all those who hadn’t had a rest were rotated off for the final quarter. The final score was St Bart’s 60, Downs 15.

Tries were scored by Will (2), Iggy, James, Deacon (4), Raul and Antonio. Conversions were kicked by Deacon (4), Josh and Lucas.

Player of the match was captain, Deacon, and a special mention goes to those boys who played their first rugby match for school.
