Saturday 3rd February
Rugby

U13 v Wrekin College (a) 1.30pm

Lost 24-12
 
Oswestry School U13 rugby squad travelled away to Wrekin College on Saturday 3rd February on a glorious day.  Over the last few years this fixture has always been a close and entertaining game and this proved so again.  Both teams were physical in the rucks and mauls and produced good breaks in their backlines.  Oswestry were missing 5 starting line players but the squad rotation system proved its worth with the boys coming into the team putting in solid performances.

Wrekin had three very talented players who began to dominate and hugely influence the game. The Oswestry lads never gave in and came very close in the last fifteen minutes to crossing the line a number of times with great breaks from both the forwards and backs.

A thoroughly enjoyable game to watch and one that the squad have taken heart from, even in defeat. Well done.
