Wellington College

We have got you on specifically because we're very lucky.

We're going to be at your school on Saturday for Wyckiff versus Wellington College.

Let's just talk about that one before we reflect on the weekend just gone.

It's a special day, isn't it? And a special game for everybody involved.

And, you know, it's always a really good, tough game and a good, tough set of block fixtures.

Yeah, a block fixture that we really look forward to.

They do it really well, don't they, Wellington, Wilco? Their rugby programme's been strong for a long, long time and they don't get much tougher than Wellington College.

I mean, look, your start to the season is Seba followed by Wellington.

This one there was a little bit of debate over as well.

We came down to a choice between two names, didn't we? Sherburn's Edwin Langley and, uh, Wellington College's Freddy Corbett, to whom we owe an apology for, uh-

[laughs]

... mistakenly in our nominations pod, calling him, uh, by his older brother's name, Will Corbett.

Um, we then got into a bit of a debate, didn't we?

Mm.

We couldn't quite, couldn't quite land between them, but I think we settled in the end on our Sevens Player of the Year being Wellington College's Freddy Corbett.

If nothing else, the Cup competition is the big one, and Freddy Corbett sensationally not only named Player of the Tournament at the Rosslyn Park Sevens, but also scoring a brace of tries, a crucial brace of tries, in the final of that competition to claim our Sevens Player of the Year alongside the title and alongside the Player of the Tournament.

NSB, Continental Tires School's Cup.

Also Daily Mail Trophy, also TSC, Seaford College winning the Seaford Tens, Wellington College winning the St. Joseph's Festival, and Rosslyn Park.

I mean-

Kirkham-

I'm happy with that, and I think, again, the way they won it Makes a bit of a difference, um, so I'm happy to, happy to go with that.

Mm.

Uh, so our nominees for the Tournament Win of the Year are Kirkham Grammar School at Sedbergh 10s, Seaford College at the Seaford 10s, Northampton School for Boys at the Continental Tyres Schools Cup Final, and Wellington College at St. Joseph's Festival.

Um, right.
