Energy and attitude shine in rugby matches

St George's boys and girls rugby teams have been gaining experience and skills at exhibition matches and tournaments in Luxembourg and further afield.

The Under 16 girls defeated Rugby Club Luxembourg Girlz on 5 April in an exhibition match when Luxembourg's men's team took on Poland for a place in next season's Rugby Europe Trophy. 

The girls' journey has been incredible, from touch rugby during PE lessons to playing in the Rosslyn Park 7s tournament in London and now playing at the national Stade de Luxembourg.  

The team included Alia N, Berenice HS, Chloe VV, Enayah C, Lara F, Mia H, Sophie G (captain), Valentine P and Yael Marie B. 

Rosslyn Park National Schools Sevens

St George's fielded two teams - Under 16 girls and Under 18 boys - in the Rosslyn Park National Schools Sevens tournament in London in March. 

The Under 16s girls team faced three gruelling matches against Stonyhurst College (Lancashire), Blundell's school (Devon) and Holyrood Academy (Somerset), but their attitude and energy was outstanding. 

The team included Enayah C, Lika Y, Mia H, Penelope N, Safirah VD, Valentin P and captain Sophie G.

The Under 18 boys faced off against the Portsmouth Grammar School and fell 29-7 in the first match. It was a similar story in the second game, with a 32-17 defeat against Radnor House (Twickenham), and in the third game, going down 41-7 against Shrewsbury School.  

The team included Arran S, Diego L, Francesco S, Frederick DF, Ivan K (captain), Jago M, Joao M, Matteo M, Mathew S, Michael WJ, Thithawat S and Tommy VB.
