20 January 2024 Abingdon Sport U14 Rugby Tour to Sussex Over half term, the U14 Rugby A and B squads embarked on an exciting tour of Sussex, where they participated in matches against Hurstpierpoint College and Seaford College. The matches proved to be a challenging yet rewarding experience for the pupils, who demonstrated exceptional sportsmanship and teamwork both on and off the field. In addition to the matches, the tour provided a diverse range of fun activities aimed at fostering camaraderie and team spirit. The pupils engaged in activities such as Laser Zone, Jungle Crazy Golf, and Ten-Pin Bowling, which helped them unwind and relax between matches. The highlight of the tour was the visit to Brighton Pier, where pupils indulged in traditional seafront amusements and treats, enabling them to spend quality time together and creating wonderful memories. Rugby masterclass This term, Gloucester Rugby’s number 8, Jack Clement, visited Abingdon to help coach our U16 age group. The A and B team forwards received a masterclass in maul attack and defence, while our U16 C and D focused on the contest in the tackle area. Pupils had the opportunity to ask Jack questions and gain valuable insight into the life of a professional player. We extend a big thank you to Jack and wish him the best of luck with the remainder of the season.
