In horrendous conditions Gordon's showed real character with great performances verses Trinity Croydon, losing 12 – 19, and beating St George’s Weybridge 14 – 0. This performance and victory showed huge character and will to win. This age group lost to St George's 0 – 35 last season in a cup game. They had to defend their line for 5 minutes at the start of the game with a try saving tackle from Hugo Hughes. Gordon’s, having withstood attack after attack, eventually got their hands on the ball and started to control the game scoring 2 converted tries.

 

This put us in the semi-final verses Wallington, the host school. The team rose to the challenge and the elements besting Wallington 30 - 0 with Callum McCarthy scoring 3 great individual tries.

 

Rutlish School were supposed to play Gordon’s in the final, but the weather and injuries had got the better of them and they forfeited. It was not a day for the 7s purist, but certainly one for determination and character.
