Year 10 Boys Rugby: Clyst Vale 7-35 Ivybridge Community College

Congratulations to the Year 10 squad who played on the adjacent pitch to the Year 9s at Clyst Vale on Thursday afternoon and represented the College outstandingly well throughout the match.

Led by outside half, Sonny, the boys caused a very strong Ivybridge team lots of problems throughout the game with hard and abrasive tackles, strong carries and resolute defence. Max led his team from the front with dominant carries which led to a try for Charlie under the posts, which Sonny converted. Jack led the pack well at second row with Leo showing his strength in the heart of the pack at the hooker position. Cian linked strongly with half-back partner, Sonny and got the centre partnership of Elijah and Finlay ticking in attack.  

Shewashe made several inroads into the Ivybridge defence, with him giving Clyst Vale the opportunity to move attacks wider through Ollie, Aaron, Tobias, Archie and finally Jackson at full back. Ellis and Will gave us pace on the edge and strength which stretched the defence on occasions, too. It was brilliant to see less experienced Riley and Aaron support the team by playing in the front row against a very established pack of forwards.

To a player, the boys were outstanding ambassadors to the school and look forward to a game versus Blundells School away on Wednesday.
