Sutton Valence School’s 1st XV were overjoyed to learn that they have been ranked 7th in the country within the Schools’ Rugby 1st XV Performance League 2012-13.
Under the leadership of Phil Smith, Director of Rugby and the captaincy of Ed Bower the side have had a fantastic start to the season; winning 7 of their first 8 games. They are averaging over 30 points a game and with a rock solid defence they have only conceded 53 points so far.
Winger, Jordan Parker and fly half George Poland are leading the try scoring with seven and six tries respectively.
They successfully notched up their 12th consecutive home victory on Saturday with an impressive 28 – 0 win over Worth School.
Phil Smith said, “Our position of 7th in the country and being the highest Kent school team in the top 10 is simply fantastic. As a team we have all worked hard together and this achievement is richly deserved. I am very proud of the side.”
