U15 Boys Section:

Josh G

Josh has demonstrated a great blend of technique and skill alongside hard work and a determination to keep improving. He trains week in week out, and never gives anything but 100%+ every session. He’s a player that everyone trusts, intelligent in his communication and understands his role for the squad, and is willing to play across both our teams without fuss.

U14 Girls Section: 

Sophie Br

Always early, always working hard, and never afraid of a challenge, Sophie listens, learns, and applies everything she takes on board. She has embraced the responsibility of fly-half with maturity and intelligence, made more impressive by the fact she is the youngest in the group, in some cases by nearly two years.

Great start to the season with 4 tries versus Hammersmith and tackled like a trooper too. Great trainer and looking set for a breakout season with the increased pitch size at U13
