The first half of term has been an exciting and productive period for rugby across the club, with excellent engagement, development, and success across all age groups.
U14 Rugby
Our U14s have made a fantastic start to the season, consistently displaying enthusiasm, commitment, and a willingness to learn. Their positive attitude in both training and matches has laid strong foundations for continued development throughout the year.
U15 Rugby
The U15s have demonstrated remarkable resilience. Despite several changes to the squad in recent fixtures, the squad has remained united and committed to one another, culminating in a great win over King’s Bruton this past weekend.
Bath Rugby Academy
We are also delighted to celebrate continued Bath Rugby Academy representation across the programme, with players selected from U15 through to U18 level:
U18s: TJ S
U17s: Kieron S, Ren E and Teddy T
U16s: Will S
U16s Development: Austin R-W
U15s: Natty S
This reflects both the quality and work ethic of our players and the strength of the coaching and development pathway within the club.
At senior level, the 1st XV and 2nd XV have enjoyed a great 6-week block with over 50 boys representing the club across fixtures. We now enter an exciting sequence of fixtures against some of the country’s leading rugby schools. Matches against Millfield, Sherborne, Hurstpierpoint and Canford await, alongside a highly anticipated National Vase Round 4 fixture against QEH Bristol. These games provide a fantastic opportunity for the squad to test themselves against top-quality opposition.
The school will also come together on Thursday 19 November for our annual OB Reunion, taking place during the home fixture against Sherborne. We look forward to welcoming former players back to celebrate the traditions and successes of the club.
Looking ahead to the Spring Term, preparations are already underway for the ever-popular Pudding Sevens Festival, which will see our U11s and U13s competing in an enjoyable and competitive afternoon. Attention will also turn towards Rugby Sevens across both the Senior and Prep Schools, with an exciting programme of training and fixtures planned.
Thank you to all players, coaches, parents, and supporters for their continued commitment and enthusiasm. We look forward to an exciting second half of the season and a successful transition into the sevens programme next term.
