Year 10/11 Rugby Team Triumph

On Thursday 2nd October 2025 the combined KS4 boys put on a magnificent display over at the Vyners playing fields where they beat Rosedale 25 - 0 and Vyners 40 - 0. Not only was the attacking display fantastic but the commitment in defence to not concede a try was a worthy team effort. When our school community comes together like this, we truly have something special and the boys put their bodies on the line for each other, tackle after tackle, some of them were truly great and within the spirit of the game. 

Tries coming from Harley B, Reuben, Cassius, Harry W and Charlie S against a strong and athletic Rosedale side. But Ruislip met them with the same physicality and worked exceptionally hard at the breakdown to win the ball back, forcing Rosedale to kick long, but with Alfie T playing at fullback with Harley B supporting, we were never in danger of getting caught out. 

Against a very organised Vyners side, we scored 8 tries with Alfie T, Callum, Cassius x 2, Reuben and Harley B x2 getting over the white line. This was a professional performance that really was a credit to both teams, despite our advantages, but the teams played really well, but on this day we came out stronger. 

Honourable mentions could go out to every single player, as it seemed everyone had a moment, be it a tackle, a dazzling run, but the most valuable aspect of these games was the way that both sets of these boys played for each other, without discrimination of age difference. It was another fantastic moment to watch and be proud of our RHS community. 

A huge special thank you to Mr Randall, he ran the show and offered great preparation, tactical insight and motivation to these young men. I very much doubt they will forget this night when they look back at their time at RHS, and a big factor in that would be having a teacher there with them sharing their passion. It really does have a big impact on the pupils. They are very much looking forward to playing more fixtures together in the near future. 

Squad: Harry W - Captain, Reuben D, Alfie T, Nathan L, Callum M, Charlie S, Cassius H, Harley B, Veer B, Charlie C, Oscar W, Eric R, Cormac B, Jamie M-S.
