the visitors under intense
pressure. James Cooper
was finding lots of space to
attack their left back and
put their defence under
lots of pressure. Within the
first 5 minutes Highcliffe
were ahead thanks to a
nice lob from Anthony Harris.
Both wingers were now
getting in behind their full
backs to put in some good
crosses, Elliott Magill setting
up a few chances for
the forwards which were
either saved or put wide.
Good inter play down the
left side involving George
Atkinson, Jack Blackmore
and Elliott Magill after a
free kick deep in our own
half ended with a chance
for midfield powerhouse
Harris to add to his tally,
which he did sliding in
number 2. The score
stayed the same until half
time.
The second half saw both
teams exchange chances
with keeper Dom Chapman
making some good saves
to keep the score at two
nil. James Stocker coming
on off the bench started to
put some good passes
through to create for Highcliffe
but no one could find
the net again. Late on St.
Peter’s started to get the
upper hand but came up
against a defensive wall in
the shape of Jareth Stubbington
and Matt Jarvis.
Time and again Jareth
won the aerial battle and
tackles on the floor to
claim the man of the
match award.
The result now means an
away trip Bristol to play
Grange School & Sports
College. A massive congratulations
to the team
from Mr. Jobbins on a job
well done!!

Report by Mr Jobbins
Year 9 Rugby Team
Win Title For Third
Year Running.
On November 14th the Year
9 rugby team headed to the
St. Peters rugby tournament
to defend their title for the
second time running. They
were placed in the toughest
group along with BSB, Ringwood,
Winton and St. Peter’s.
First up was old foe
BSB, the game was a hard
fought contest that saw our
boys win 12- 0 after good
work from Harry Aston
and Joe Marling. Next to be
put to the sword was Winton,
with the forwards dominating
play to give the team
a winning margin of 15 - 0.
Then came our hardest
game against Ringwood who
were beaten in last year’s
final. They were the first
team to score any points
against a strong defensive
Highcliffe team. The boys
came through though winning
12 - 5. By winning the
group our next opponents
were Portchester who we
had some inside info on as
Alfie Kybert used to go
there. With this the team
ran riot over them securing
a 24 - 0 final score.
The final again saw the
team up against Ringwood
who were looking for revenge.
Yet again they
scored a try but could not
match the three that we
put past them to win 21 -
7 and secure the title for
the third year running. A
massive well done to the
whole team from Mr. Jobbins.
TEAM: Harry & Adam Aston,
Joe Marlin, George
Davies, Harry Busby, Sam
Jackson, Ben Swain, Sam
Wheeler, Will Woodfine,
Oliver Lucus, Lewis Francis,
Ben Woodford, Will
Aimson, Felix Lazenby,
James Sowden.
We can now reveal that the new
fitness suite is now officially called…
The Olympus Suite
Congratulations to
Tom and Oliver Riley,
Winners of the £20
prize. Proving that
two heads are better
than one!
