A stunning performance ensuring that the Under-17 trophy returned to Rugby for the fourth year running.
The under-13 team was quite inexperienced this year but they all supported each other and played very well, finishing in an admirable second place. In a very tight contest the team beat third placed Jubilee Juniors with a better points tally, and came close to beating Alveston Juniors, the eventual winners from Stratford. Daniel Watkin, Matthew Sirman, Ellie Taylor and Alex Farren were very successful in the singles games, winning nine of the twelve games and dropping only 23 points overall. In the crucial match against Jubilee, to secure silver medal position, James Loraine and Vinaya Boppudi won their mixed doubles to tie the match on games, then Dylan Mistry and Vidhya Boppudi scored a vital 18 points to help Rugby win the match on points. A great team performance with outstanding contributions from Ellie and Alex winning all their games.
