This is an interview that I did with BGS number five, Haydn Roberts, after the Inter Schools League Cup Final.
After Boston Grammar School were defeated by rivals Middlecott in the League Cup final, I spoke to BGS star Haydn Roberts to get his reaction.
Result is ‘a big disappointment’, says Roberts
Strong Middlecott Side Defeat Grammar
This is a report from a rugby match between two school teams, from April 2009.
After coming top of their pool in the previous round, Boston Grammar School Under16s went to the Princess Royal Sports Area with high hopes. However, after a well fought match, Kirton Middlecott came out top and were crowned champions of the Inter Schools League Cup. The build-up to the game was full of tension and nerves. After BGS beat MSK in the 2007 final, MSK beat BGS in a friendly in 2008 and the teams drew in the Rugby 10s tournament earlier this season, the 2009 Inter School League Cup Final was to be the decider. For a lot of these players, it was to be their last match together, and possibly the last time they ever play a rugby match, so both teams were determined to win. Grammar had a setback before the game had even started, with captain and fly-half Oliver Phillips out due to injury. The NLD star became manager for the game, with his first point of call choosing a new captain. Number 8 Sam Clifton was his choice.
