Boys Sports News
The boys rounded off their Rugby season with a fantastic block of fixtures against Chinthurst School this week. It was a pleasure to finish the term playing in sunshine - especially after a record 18 rain‑affected cancellations earlier in the season.
The Year 4 boys opened the week on Tuesday. The A team produced a cracking match full of determined tackling from both sides. The game remained close throughout, but Chinthurst finished to win 8–5. The B team also enjoyed a great close game, with Micklefield emerging 13–12 winners.
On Wednesday, the Year 5 boys travelled to Chinthurst and came away with a hard‑fought draw for the A team and a good win for the B team. The Year 6 boys played their final rugby matches for Micklefield and rose to the occasion. The A team were held to a 7–7 draw, while the B team fought brilliantly against a strong opposition before narrowly losing 5–8.
On Thursday, Year 3 travelled to Chinthurst for their last tag rugby fixtures of the season. Both teams played brilliantly, with the A team tagging superbly and running straight to record a 15–4 win. The B team also impressed, in a high scoring match to win 13–10.
This brings our rugby season to a close. Despite the weather challenges, it has been a hugely successful campaign, finishing with an overall record of
Played: 39
Won: 27
Drawn: 6
Lost: 6
To lose only six matches all season is a tremendous achievement. Well done to all the boys and thank you to Mr Seneschall, Mr Avery, Mr Bracken and Mr Mackrell for their hard work and commitment throughout the term.
