Old Moles star for two of the UK's finest rugby schools
Last Saturday saw three old friends collide in the U15 rugby fixture between Wellington College and Millfield. Charlie B and Hector E were representing Wellington and Archie F was representing Millfield. The boys enjoyed a great deal of sporting success in their year group at Moulsford and are certainly carrying this on at their senior schools.
Last year's fixture ended 77-0 to Wellington but Millfield had employed a new captain this year and that was Archie! He was determined to make a difference (no surprise there!). Hector was captaining Wellington so it was a very proud moment for Moulsford as the two boys stood opposite each other for the coin toss at the start of the game. The game was a lot closer than the previous year with Wellington emerging victorious by 27 points to 12. Hector played in the centre and scored a try by running through Archie which certainly fired up the Millfield captain. Archie was as tenacious as ever and put many a Wellington giant on the floor. Charlie was everywhere and played an intelligent game at open side flanker.
After the game, the boys were reminiscing about the last time they played on the same pitch which was 5 years previously as they won the Millfield U11 sevens. They carried on chatting right into match tea and their friendship appears to be as strong as ever. It was a marvellous advertisement for Moulsford and their senior schools.
