Reading Blue Coat Battle to Bowl Success

Congratulations U15s 22-12 battled in the torrential rain for victory in the Continental Tyres Bowl Final at Saracens’ StoneX Stadium. A fantastic effort and result.  Read the report excerpt below from the England Rugby website.

Reading Blue Coat fought off a spirited Gordon’s School comeback to win 22-12 in the Bowl final.

The team came flying out the traps and after a period of early pressure hit the front through captain James L. Vice-captain Harry M added a penalty and a second try soon followed from prop Joshua W.

Gordon’s gave themselves a lifeline on the stroke of half time, with their flanker touching down from the back of an unstoppable lineout drive.

Gordon’s had their tails up after the break and cut the deficit to just five points when their flanker scorched round the outside of the Blue Coat defence to score under the sticks, with their captain adding the extras.

The gap remained just five points for most of the second period, but Blue Coat’s Byron C ensured there was no dramatic turnaround with a try at the death.
