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.
