U18 Surrey Sevens Tournament Plate Winners

On Wednesday 6 March the U18 Sevens squad travelled a short journey to the Richmond Athletic Grounds to compete in U18 Surrey Sevens Tournament, one of the strongest and most competitive Sevens Tournaments on the circuit, with a total of 52 schools competing from all over the country.

The SPS team were runners up in their group, having won two matches and lost one (SPS v London Oratory won 31-12, SPS v Blundell’s School lost 12-33, SPS v Reed’s School won 38-14) which put them through to the Plate Competition Quarter Final against a strong Trinity side. This ended up being a very competitive match but the 1^st VII dug deep and eventually ran out winners by 21-17, progressing through to the final to play Reed’s School, having beaten the City of London Freeman’s School in the semi-final 26-21. It was a strongly contested match, as Reed’s gave absolutely everything, having already been beaten by SPS in the group stages, but we proved to be too strong in every aspect of the game and won convincingly by 33-12.
