The 1st XV had to overcome significant odds to win a match that many had expected them to lose. Their resilience and courage shone through and making it to the semi-final of the national cup for the second year in a row is a testimony to the tremendous dedication and commitment of the boys and also of their coaches. Success like that comes from hours of hard work and James and his team have earnt the right to play Harrow in the semi-final next term. It was great to have so many members of the Blundell's community out there supporting the team and it was a victory we could take collective pride in.
