Rugby Training

This academic year has seen a very strong rise in the popularity of Rugby.  We are very luck to have Dan Buckland come into school and coach some of our Year 7-9 classes as well as run training sessions after school for Key Stage 3 students.

colfes_rugbyColfe’s School were so impressed with the Year 9 team, who played in their first tournament this year that they invited them along to their training session.  The session was held by Head of Colfe’s Prep School and former All Blacks and Rugby World Cup winner, John Gallagher.

This joint venture was hosted by the Old Colfeians Rugby Club, of which John Gallagher is one of the under 14’s coaches.  He was also joined by Simon Hepden from Old Colfeians and Matt Reading from Colfe’s School.

A special mention must go to Kalen in Year 9.  Kalen played in the Rugby tournament and Mrs Pritchard – Head of PE at Conisborough was approached by 5 different clubs to see if he’d be interested in joining their clubs as he showed great protential of being a very good Rugby player.  Kalen is currently training at Whitefoot Lane for ‘Whitefoot Warriors’
