London Schools in National Comp

Two South-East schools reach National Quarter-Finals!

Two schools from London & South-East reached the Quarter-Finals of the National Rugby League Champion Schools Competition in their respective age groups in one of the strongest performances yet from London Schools in the Competition.


In the Year 9 Competition, Dorothy Stringer from Brighton beat Standish School 28-20 to move into the last 8. Standish had travelled down from the North-West in order to play the match. Dorothy Stringer, who have been helped by ex London Broncos Reserve Team Coach Kieran Robertson, now face St Peter's from Wigan at Home in the Quarter-Final on 28th April, for a place in the National Semi-Final.


In the Year  7 Competition, John Fisher from Croydon, came within  two wins of a place at Wembley for the Year 7 National Final. In the round of 16, John Fisher travelled to Oldham and beat Crompton House 38-14, helped by coaching from local Community Club, Brixton Bulls. This set up an Away match at Wigan in the Quarter-Final against undefeated defending Champions, St Peter's, who ran out 30-4 winners.


Elsewhere, Teddington School from South-West London, lost a tight match. 18-8, in the Year 8 Round of 16, playing Away to Bedford High School in Leigh. St James' Boys, from Ashford in Surrey, lost both the Year 10 and Year 11 matches at the same stage. In the Year 10 competition St James travelled to West Yorkshire to face Ryburn Valley School and went down 24-0. In the Year 11 competition, St James hosted Bridgewater High School from Warrington, but were beaten 16-0.
