RUGGER

Easter term rugger, now more firmly established on a proper footing with the 'Under 15' and 'Under 14' age groups almost fully represented, prolonged the season by an invaluable six weeks.

Although neither team was potentially as strong as its predecessors, the value of the Easter term rugger can best be judged by the measure of their success in the three matches played by each of the teams.

The 13-8 point win by the Under 15 team v. Hymers College marked their first away win of the season; the 16-3 point win v. Ashville College reversed an earlier 10-18 point loss; and the 6-16 loss v. Archbishop Holgate's unbeaten side went a long way towards redressing an earlier 9-28 loss, even with 5 undisputed reserves playing.

The Under 14 team, still sadly lacking confidence, not unnaturally, having lost all their 5 matches of the Christmas term, experimented and strove unremittingly. After further losses, 3-16 v. Hymers College and 5-20 v. Ashville College, they gained their just reward in the final match of the season when defeating Pocklington School by 22-6, and in so doing reversed an earlier loss of 9-17..

Thus Easter term rugger was very much worth while, and should have gone a long way towards establishing both these teams more firmly on their feet at the beginning of next season. `Under 15' XV selected from : —E.
