Under 14 Rugby Team Crowned County Champions

27 November 2018

The Under 14 Rugby Team were crowned county champions last week after wins against Wymondham College (20-0), Langley (26-5), Gresham’s (14-0) and CNS (24-5) secure the trophy.

The 2018 County Cup competition was this year played at Wymondham Rugby Club. The format of this year competition was a round robin merit league including five teams. 

First up was a tricky game against Langley but Norwich School dominated from start to finish to win 26-5. Next up was CNS who caused us some problems, particularly in the second half, but we prevailed 24-5. After a short break we resumed with potentially our hardest game of the day against a big Wymondham College side, but again we produced a convincing display to win 24-5. Our final encounter was with Gresham’s and with both teams tiring it could arguably have gone either way.

In what would prove to be our closest game of the tournament, two tries were the difference giving us a 10-0 win. With four victories from our four games, we secured the U14 County Cup for the first time since 2014. 

The squad members were: Jack Minns, Rohand Chauhan, Will Farrow, Will Waller, Morgan Wolmarans, Marcus O’Sullivan, Elijah Elwell, Pieter De Lange (C), Reuben Hollis, Jack Blackham, Bertie Shippam, Henry Hood, Jared Ikazoboh, Freddie Mitchell, Will Thomas, Theo Bird, George Jackson, Max Amis, Ewan Brett, Iruo Isiavwe, Kit Scott, Tobias Spencer.

Congratulations to everyone in the team!
