First XV Progress to Last 16 of Daily Mail Vase

Wednesday, 14 January 2009

A stunning comeback saw Bolton School's 1st XV rugby team progress to the last sixteen of the Daily Mail U18 Rugby Vase. Finding themselves 20-0 down at half-time to Dame Allan's School of Newcastle proved no obstacle for the Bolton team as they put in a second-half performance to be remembered, forcing a late winning try to clinch the game 22-20.

The boys will now play either Stonyhurst or Giggleswick in late January. The 1st XV have made it to the quarter finals twice before in this national competition.
