Rugby Club

by Mr Foster

Where can you grab hold of your mate, dump him on his backside in the mud, and then have members of staff not only fail to tell you off, but offer you advice on how to do it better next time? Come to Peter Hills on a Thursday after school and find out.

That's what around twenty boys in year 7 have been doing all term, and they are now looking forward to their first competitive full contact fixture against Charter. They have already won one tag rugby game against a City of London Academy that included several year 8s and 9s.

The senior boys sides have played two fixtures, both against Charter. In the first game Charter were too organised and ground out a 23-5 win despite a try by Sammy Ajose. In the second however, Bacon's won the physical battle thanks to big hits from Alex Surguladze and strong runs from Joe Dalton. Joe's try and two from Sammy Ajose looked to have won the game for Bacon's, only for a last minute score to steal victory.

The biggest success story has been Aaron Redgrave, who has represented South London, London, The south of England and now the Combined Regions in Rugby League against Wales, Cumbria, and Lancashire. As well as this, Aaron is now on the books at Harlequins RL, London's professional rugby league team.

The rugby club is always looking for new members from all years, boys and girls. If you are interested, see myself or Mr Darragh.
