Worth rugby boys reach national quarter-finals

Worth School’s 1st XV rugby boys will fly the flag for Sussex in the last eight of the National Vase following an excellent 31-20 victory away to Maidstone Grammar School in yesterday’s area final.

The boys performed superbly to claim a place in the national quarter-finals and to extend their sequence of results this academic year to 13 wins out of 13.

With a partisan crowd getting behind the hosts, Worth managed the game superbly, establishing a comfortable half-time advantage. A converted Maidstone Grammar School try late in the second half made the final score look closer than perhaps it was.

This is the furthest Worth has gone in this competition since the 2013-14 academic year when the school lost 28-27 in the quarter-finals to Exeter College who went on to reach the final at Twickenham.
