Rugby team taking a group picture with Brian JuliffThe rugby league squad delivered an outstanding 56–12 win against Haberdashers’ Borough, producing a performance that combined attacking flair, discipline and growing tactical awareness at Burgess Park.

The match was made even more significant by the presence of Brian Juliff, Wigan legend and former Wales Rugby League representative, who observed from the sidelines before offering valuable insight to the players. Opportunities to engage with figures of this calibre reflect the strength and ambition of the programme.

On the field, the team produced a clinical attacking display. Jordan led the scoring with an exceptional seven tries, consistently exploiting space and finishing with confidence. Izrael added three, David contributed two, while Akil and Collins also crossed the line to complete a comprehensive team effort.

Jamie was named Man of the Match following an influential performance at dummy half, where his control of tempo and defensive organisation helped maintain momentum throughout. Leadership across the pitch was evident, with players demonstrating strong communication and game management.

The victory represents more than a scoreline. Several members of the squad will attend London Trials Day at the London Broncos training base next week, as they continue to progress along established performance pathways with aspirations of future representative selection.

Results such as this highlight the continued development of rugby league within the school and the opportunities available for students to grow both competitively and personally through sport.
