The weather stayed dry as over 50 teams and 600 players took part, from Under 13s to Under 16s.

Warwick’s U13s topped their pool of five teams playing some fantastic sevens. A 45-0 win over King’s Macclesfield and 40-10 win over Wimbledon College were notable victories on a successful day.

The U14s also topped a tough group, their best win coming against RGS Worcester, who they had lost to the week before. This set up a semi-Final against Kirkham Grammar School, which Warwick won 19-7 and therefore a cup final place against Sedbergh. The final lived up to the billing with the scores tied at full time and therefore ‘Golden Point’ had to be played. This was a dramatic finish to the tournament and as darkness fell, Rupert stepped up to get the deciding try and ensure Warwick was victorious!

The U16s began the day with a narrow loss to Kirkham Grammar in the last play. However, the team bounced back and showed good character, winning four games in a row, including a 31-14 win against King’s Macclesfield which meant they ended the day with silverware, winning the Shield.

The day is a massive logistical challenge which wouldn’t have been possible without the help of many people. This event showed the best of Warwick School’s staff, with a big thank you to teachers, coaches, grounds, catering, estates, marketing, parents and referees. A special thanks to Mr Maguire and Mr Hesketh for organising a fantastic event.
