CH Rugby

[HowardH]

Enough already!

C.H. played Brighton College on Sat 14th Oct with matches commencing at the unusual time of 1.00 (1st XV at 1.30) as it was the start of half-term. When the fixture was arranged it was understood that Brighton's top 24 boys would be absent at the Festival of rugby at St.Joseph's in Ipswich. This sadly led to a mismatch at the top end with the C.H. coaches having to take off a number of players before half-time. The 2nd XV game v Brighton's 3rd XV was a much closer affair.
The full results for the block fixture were as follows (and not as seen on the School's Rugby website):

So 102 matches played 63 wins 4 draws and 35 losses; a healthy balance of points also
I would say that C.H. rugby is alive and well, particularly at the bottom end of the school. U14A have won 9/10 as have the U13A team. So let us stop knocking things without knowing the facts and get behind the boys ..... please.

Association Football is almost a year long sport now, anyway !

(That should raise a few eye-brows !)
