The Times they Never Change

Congratulations to the School VII for its best ever performance at the Rosslyn Park Sevens where it beat Douai(22-7), Caterham(31-10) and Framlingham(27-12) before narrowly losing to the group winners Ellesmere(15-21). Even better the Times Rugby Correspondent wrote-

"the spirit of the tournament was epitomised by Ray Williams rugby master at Dorset school Clayesmore,who just missed out on finishing top of their group, "We have no right to be here with the Bryanstons of this world. We only have 120 boys but 90 of them play rugby."Williams said. "My colleague Archie Fay and I have 100 years of rugby experience between us. We want our boys to play the game the way it was meant to played and use it as a basis for learning about life."
