This competition is open to school’s nationally so there was a number of very strong rugby schools attending. The Freemen’s boys did really well and showed great resilience to come through a group containing three powerhouses of rugby teams!

They unfortunately lost to both Milfield (lost 5 tries) and Seaford (lost 5 tries to 1) but held the ball up well and showed some excellent tactical awareness.

They then went on to beat Rugby School 5-3 so qualified for Surrey Plate.

In the quarter final they beat RGS Guildford 26-19 and then played Dulwich College in the semi final. A close game resulted in a 7-7 draw at full time and it had to go extra time. Dulwich then unfortunately won with a golden try.

Freemen’s are really proud of all the players who competed and the character traits they showed. Well done to all for their positive attitude and determination!
