Cranbrook has recently taken part in several Rugby Sevens competitons entering both boys and girls teams.
They took part in the Sussex Open Sevens Rugby Tournament held at Christ’s Hospital in Horsham in March. In the Girls’ Competition Cranbrook got through to the final and were beaten 17-7 by Epsom College, Phil Proud (Y13WG) is pictured below with the ball. In the Plate Competition the boys’ were beaten by Saracens Academy in the semi-final.
The following week, the journey to the Berkhampstead Open proved worthwhile as Cranbrook finished tournament Runners Up. With tough opposition from teams such as Truro College and Oundle, the group stages required commitment from all. This paid dividends as the team went on to defeat local rivals Benenden 40-0. The final found Cranbrook facing Colstons, arguably the strongest Girls team in the UK. A great effort was made by all and Cranbrook were narrowly defeated 17-10.
This weeks sees the teams in action at Rosslyn Park.
