| Farleigh wins Pinewood Sevens |   |
Congratulations to the ten boys who represented Farleigh in the first tournament of the rugby season and, after only six days of rugby, won the Pinewood Sevens.
 |
In the group stages, Farleigh beat St Hugh's (35-7), Prior Park (5-0) and Christchurch Cathedral School (41-0). In the quarter-finals they met a good defensive St Andrew's, but won through (24-0) and proceeded to the semi-finals, where they came up against the previously unbeaten Abingdon Prep. This was a tight game, but again the team came out on top (10-7).
The final against Old Buckenham Hall was tough with Farleigh conceding the first try. However, they came back with great strength and a breakaway try by the captain, Oscar Page, levelled the score by half-time. Again, they conceded a try early in the second half, but were swift to respond and finished the tournament with a 21-14 victory.
This was an exceptional performance from all of the boys:
