On Friday 28th January the highly anticipated U18 Foundation Select XV vs Solihull School rugby match took place on the all-weather pitch at Bournville Rugby Club. An invitational squad from players across the foundation competed against Solihull School for 'The Covill King Edward VI Foundation Challenge Cup'
A huge crowd saw a close first half with the score at 19-12 to Solihull at half time. However, a very well drilled and organised Solihull School pulled away in the second half to win 46-19. A very high quality match with plenty of heart, passion, skill and talent on display.
This inaugural match truly was a special evening for all involved. The players did the Foundation proud. Mr Burgess, Head of PE & Games at King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Boys was the chief organiser of the event but thanks must also go to Mr Evans & Mr Thomas of King Edward VI Five Ways School, Mr Adams of King Edward’s School, Mr Taylor King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Boys & Mr Cheney of King Edward VI Aston School.
Thanks also to the Solihull players and staff for all their efforts in making the event happen and congratulations on winning the trophy!
