Rugby Sevens
(1965-66)

SEVEN-A-SIDE COMPETITIONS

Burrells (Captain), Curd, Cassidy, Smith, Westray, Wooding, Mitchell and Parish.

The above players provided a fitting climax to an excellent season by winning both the Kent Sevens Tournament and the 'B' section of the Oxford Tournament. At Tonbridge, we knew that we had a good team but one which was untried in competition. From the outset, however, the team played superb Sevens and, in fact, were never really troubled. The final against St. Joseph's Academy, Blackheath, (26-3) was really an anti-climax after the fine win by 23-0 over Dulwich College in the semi-final.

In the Oxford Tournament, Cassidy replaced the injured Smith and again the competition was won with little difficulty, the only close game being with Rhondda G.S.

We were disappointed not to make it a hat-trick in the Surrey Sevens at Easter, going down 8-3 to Whitgift in the quarter-final, but this defeat was put into proportion when Whitgift reached the final of the Roehampton Tournament the next week.
