The Sevens rugby season started with
the Mount Kelly 10s and host to schools
from Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and
Wales. Mount Kelly topped Group 1 with
3 wins from 4, however it was not to be for
Mount Kelly as we lost in a close final against
Millfield School.
Then it was over to Queen’s Taunton School
for a Sevens tournament, but with many
schools pulling out at this point, a round robin
was decided, and Mount Kelly Sevens went
through undefeated. Charlie Doolan was the
stand out player in this tournament.
Finally, our season ended with yet another
trip away, this time London, for the Roslyn
Park Sevens. This was a huge event, and the
1st national tournament in three years. The
team started strong with a 29-5 win against
Portsmouth Grammar. We then moved on
with a very close loss against King Edward VI
School where they scored a late try to steal
the win. Final game in the pool saw us lose
against a well polished Norwich School 10
points to 33.
Several of our players trialled for Devon U18s
with Antonio Suarez and Charlie Doolan
gaining selection, and Suarez making the
captaincy.
In addition, Charles Warren and Antonio
Suarez also made selection for Lambs rugby.
Where Charles Warren was named vice
captain of the side.
The leadership group consisted of Charles
Warren, Charlie Doolan, Antonio Suarez
and Joseph Wheeldon, and they must
be applauded for their immense efforts
in upholding the Mount Kelly values, and
working hard as role models not only amongst
their peers, but to the younger and aspiring
age groups.
Many thanks to the coaches, and assistants
for their unwavering support throughout
the season. To the parents and carers of
Mount Kelly 1XV thankyou, for turning up in
all weather to support the boys. It has been
heart-warming to have you on the side-lines
cheering the team on. Special mention to the
groundsmen for keeping our pitch gleaming
every game day, and to the catering team for
providing such delightful teas and welcoming
faces at the end of every game.

U13A
The U13As at the Prep made a very
strong start to the season of 2021/22
with three wins in a row verses
St Peter’s, Exeter Cathedral School and
Queen’s Taunton. The match with Queen’s
Taunton proved to be a highlight of the
season as the team played some fantastic
netball and came away with a well-deserved,
convincing win of 10-1.
The U13s suffered a few losses during the
middle part of the season including a very
close away match against Truro Prep coming
away with a 7-9 loss, however that wasn’t to
be their last match with Truro. They played
the same team again at home towards the
end of the season and fought hard to come
away with a draw, nothing separating the
two teams in terms of possession and skill,
demonstrating their determination and team
spirit. The U13 players really gelled as a team
over the season and it was great to see some
of our Year 7 pupils playing up with the U13s
showing some great potential for the future.
SPORT
U14
The U14s were the team who by far developed the most, these girls started the
season with only 5-6 willing players and ended with 11-12 eager netballers.
These girls lost all games until the last match of the season where they had their
time to shine against a strong Shebbear squad. The girls played as a team, motivated
each other, and developed each quarter to get their first win of the season. These girls
are moving into the U15s next year and they are keen to stay as a team and build on
their foundations from this season.
