The Rugby Academy ventured into unknown territory and took part in the well-established Pre-Season tournament hosted by Colston’s School on the August Bank Holiday weekend.
Rugby training
This proved a great opportunity for the very new squad of players to start putting their pre-season training in to practice, to learn more about each other as players and to establish some training goals before their first official game in September.
Every player put in a stellar performance, against school teams who have played and trained together 3-4 times a week for the last 5+ years. The St Brendan’s students maintained vast quantities of possession, putting in some hard tackles and demonstrating from the outset a desire to learn and improve together. Complete with a well-worked team try by Tommy Winstone, the team provided an impressive performance. The early pre-season work has clearly been paying off – the day was a great start to the season and the ambitious team look forward to the year ahead of them.
