Taylors’ Tens and Club Day Sport Merchant Taylors’

It was a busy day for MTS Rugby on Saturday 3rd September, starting with Taylors’ Tens at U14 and U15. In glorious sunshine and on excellent pitches, the boys played some superb rugby. The U14s were on Flagstaff, ably supported by many parents who were enjoying the splendid Scrummers’ Brunch taking place at the same time. It was wonderful to welcome so many new parents and boys to the school, with this their first official activity as MTS pupils. The U14s saw a number of impressive moments and performances, with Huseyin Ozer and Ravin Abhayawickrama being awarded the “OMT Player of the Tournament” awards. A special mention must also go to Eliel Elliott who took full advantage of the Bonus Point system in Taylors’ Tens to score multiple 9-point tries, showing excellent skill and awareness. This is a very exciting group and we look forward to them testing themselves against opposition next weekend. The U15 tournament took place on Oval, and it was Rio Waddington and Adi Shah who collected the ‘OMT Player of the Tournament’ awards for them, showing great skills and footwork to make the most of the space

available to them. It was a fantastic morning and a huge thanks to Mr Simpson, Mr Davies, Mr Waterhouse, Mr Samuel, Mr Roots, Mr O’Connor and Mr Greenaway for the time. In the afternoon the U16 and Seniors had a really productive session, building towards the start of the season on Saturday 10th September against St George’s. Their effort was especially impressive given the mid-afternoon downpour that drenched everyone in sight! It was also the OMT Touch Tournament, so it was fun to take some of our senior boys over to play against them. It was superb to see Harry Bridgewater, Daniel Odejinmi, Jordan Hui, Hayden Waller, Jacek Krynski, Alex Jones playing for a Recent Leavers side as well as numerous other fondly-remembered OMTs. Credit to our boys for sticking around to play, using their last drop of energy to provide good opposition for their more experienced opposition! Mr E Conway
