Rugby Colts XV
(1973-74)

Played 17, Won 10, Drawn 0, Lost 7. For 313, Against 196

This was the team's most successful season and a record number of team members were selected to play for the Middlesex Schools Colts XV. They were: A. Blundell, C. Orlans, N. Pendred, K. Price, and M. Strudwick.

At its best the team played rugby of a higher standard than any so far achieved by a St. Nicholas Colts XV. There was a lack of consistency, however, which resulted in two unnecessary defeats. There was a shortage of reserve backs and the team's morale was too easily affected when key players were missing.

From the talent available it might have been expected that a good sevens team would emerge, but despite some good play it never realised its potential.

The Colts XV toured Yorkshire, beating Ermysted's Grammar School, Skipton, 24-18 and Hipperholme Grammar School, Halifax, 16-14.
