Rugby
The
College offers opportunities for the students to participate in a full
range of sports, but it is perhaps best known for the strength and
ability of its rugby teams. Twelve teams can be fielded, and the depth
of expertise and enthusiasm is impressive.
The Autumn term, in particular, is devoted to rugby for boys, though a range of other indoor and outdoor sports is always available.
The school has wonderful pitches throughout the valley.
The
school boasts a fine tradition in both the XV-a-side and VII-a-side
forms of the game. It plays regular fixtures against all the top
northern rugby schools and competes regularly in the prestigious
National 7-a-side competition held at Rosslyn Park. The school is the
only school to have won both the Festival and the Open competition in
the same year.
The Houses compete in a 15-a-side competition and a 7-a-side competition, held in the Autumn and Lent terms respectively.
