Salesian teams dominate

May 20 2009 Surrey Herald

SALESIAN School in Chertsey went, saw and conquered at the recent south-west Surrey rugby finals.

Three teams set out from the Chertsey school to Imber Court - and all three teams came back winners.

Welcome as it was, it was not a massive surprise after a season when years seven, nine and 10 were unbeaten from first scrum to last.

Year seven Salesians saw off Bishop Wand School, Sunbury, in their final by five tries to nothing, with Adam Church getting the nod as man-of-the-match by head of PE, Matt Whitfield.

However, it was not such plain-sailing for the U14s, who needed their muscle men to make the winning score against Thamesmead School.

Idzi Bamguart put Salesians ahead when the outside centre darted in from 10 metres, but after the opposition levelled it needed a massive push at the death for one prop to supply another.

Man of the match Kevin Dersak set up the winning score for Liam Harper and Jack Cook's conversion put a full-stop on the 12-5 result.

Year 10 also put Bishop Wand to the sword after a shaky start.

Oliver Sturt, Amadeuz Baumgart and a great conversion from Declan Hester put Salesians on cruise control. And another touchdown from Sturt, again converted by Hester, saw them home 17-0, with Sturt and Jack Schofield named joint men of the match.
