Under 15 All Stars shine at Park House

November 2023 - Another brilliant day of rugby for the Tigers Under 15 All Stars who visited Park House on Sunday for a tournament against the home team and Old Whitgiftians.

In both games the players showed a great level of commitment and desire to keep the high standard saw at Dulwich College ten days ago.

Park House – Tigers 0-10

During the fist match the boys in yellow and black kept a hard defence, fighting at the breakdown against a very well organised opponent.
Despite several attempts from Park House to break the line, the Tigers kept their cool blocking their attacks.

Sensational has been the first try scored by Danny, a clever and powerful number eight, who broke few tackled running for more than 60 meters along the touch line.

The scrum confirmed their progression, dominating their opponents and offering a solid platform to restart the game for the scrum half Santino.

The Tigers controlled the game in the second half, closing it with another powerful try scored by Danny.

Old Whitgiftians-Tigers 12-15

The second game started straight after the first match and the Tigers managed to keep the same level of intensity Scrum and line outs have been managed brilliantly by the first eight players, while Santino and Charlie led the back line with clean and fast balls.
After scoring the first try the Tigers let Old Whitgiftians come back with two avoidable tries; the second one in particular surprised the All Stars who didn’t pay much attention while defending at the breakdown.
But soon after the opponent missed the conversion, the boys in black and yellow came back stronger, scoring two tries in a few minutes. The third one has been a beauty, with Charlie, skipper and number ten and Reshann, the fullback, moving the ball quickly down the line for Henry, whom powerful and quick run gave the Tigers the joy to finish off with another victory.

At the end of the day the three team gathered together at the clubhouse. The Tigers offered the All Stars T-Shirt as a ‘Thank You’ for the warm hospitality and the captains exchanged the Player of the Match

Southwark Rugby All Stars conquered Dulwich College

Thursday 16th November - When the referee blew the final whistle the Southwark Rugby All Stars all jumped on Charlie (Forrest Hill School), their skipper and fly-half. He just converted the third try of the day, scored by a dominant drive led by Felix (Forrest Hill School) and supported by Alex.

Few minutes before 4pm history has been written; The Southwark Tigers Under 15 All Stars defeated Dulwich College 17-5 at the end of a very intense game.

For the first time in the history of the club, the young people have had the opportunity to compete against a private school. The boys wearing the black and yellow jersey had impressed from the start, showing a great level of intensity and physicality. The forwards put on a show, dominating their opposition and the backs aggressively stopping any attempt from Dulwich to break the Tigers’ defensive line.

Santino (Haberdashers), who’s making a huge contribution as a scum-half, scored his first try a few minutes after the kick off, finishing off a series of picks and go led by the pack.

Southwark Tigers dominated much of the first half, retaining possession well but missing some opportunities due to handling mistakes.

Charlie (Forrest Hill School) led his teammates by feeding the back line with quick balls; one of them landed in Drew’s hands (Haberdashers) just in-front of the Tigers’ 22m line. The fullback made the most of his quickness, avoiding several tackles and scoring a magnificent 80 meters try.

The first half finished with the Tigers All-Stars defending with order and discipline, while Santino (Haberdashers) went off injured to be replaced by Rowan (Forrest Hill School).

At the beginning of the second half the Tigers’ showed the same attitude that guided them to lead the game. At the breakdown Dulwich College seemed more organised but the All Stars didn’t loose their focus and kept fighting to keep the ball. Santino (Haberdashers) got back leading the pack and the backs had some changes, with Alife (Haberdashers) switching as inside centre.  

Driving mauls from line outs haven’t been effective but the forwards manage to create a solid platform, offering Santino (Haberdashers) clean balls to move away from congestions areas.

Henry (ARK Walworth) and Reshann (Haberdashers), as well as Archie (Haberdashers) and Ardell (Haberdashers) fought on every ball, tackling with aggression and reducing Dulwich College’s chances to break the line.

Dulwich College’s try came when taking advantage of one of the rare mistakes made by the All Stars’ number eight, Alex, who forced an off-load and got the ball intercepted. Despite an incredible last second tackle made by Alfie (Haberdashers), the Dulwich boys found their way thought and scored their first points of the game (7-10). 

The All Stars’ didn’t loose their focus and came back fighting, forcing Dulwich College to a couple of knock on’s and consequent scrums.

Eventually, any hopes of a Dulwich College comeback were dashed when Felix (Forrest Hill School) scored almost under the posts and Charlie (Forrest Hill School) converted for the final 17-5. History.

All-Stars First Fixture

 Southwark Rugby club have been providing weekly rugby coaching sessions to 11 secondary schools in Southwark for several years. Each school is encouraged to attend regular festivals of rugby where they compete against each other for the coveted Southwark Rugby Shield. This season alone over 550 boys and girls have benefitted from rugby tuition provided by Southwark in partnership with London Irish RFC.

What would happen if a super team was created from the best and most willing participants from the program? After-school training facilities were secured and a high class hybrid coaching team from London Irish, Southwark and England rugby embarked on a project to develop the ALL-STARS into a team capable of competing against more experienced opponents.

Maidstone RFC answered the call to provide opposition for the inaugural match and turned up with a full squad and vocal support despite the unfavourable weather conditions that hampered any free-flowing rugby that either team might have had planned.

The first half was a largely tense and scrappy affair with 70% of the ALL-STARS playing their first ever proper match on a full pitch and being pulled around positionally by a more experienced and canny Maidstone outfit who kicked well and recycled efficiently in the tight. Southwark fought hard and contested well, barely missing a tackle all day, they did however have a tendency to throw unnecessary passes which were often knocked-on in the wet conditions. It took a while for Captain Santino from Haberdashers Borough to marshal his troops, making excellent ground with ball in-hand, tackling everything in-front of him and lifting his team by example.

Maidstone had adapted to the conditions well and kicked to exploit Southwark’s positional naivety, they were also far more secure in the set-piece with many of the ALL-STARS experiencing a live scrum for the first time. After some consistent pressure on the Southwark line Maidstone finally went over for the first score of the day.

Despite the continuing rain the ALL-STARS didn’t lose heart and started to contest every tackle. Eventually a lineout in the Southwark 22 led to Tolu from St Thomas the Apostle barge past several Maidstone players to initiate a passage of play that took his team all the way to the Maidstone try line. Maidstone defended stoutly but couldn’t stop Tolu from popping up to finish off the move that he had started.

7 – 5 to the Allstars at half time.

The second half started perfectly for the ALL-STARS, a big hit by St Thomas the Apostle student Joseph dislodged the ball and allowed Rafe from Haberdashers Borough to break away from a couple of tacklers to score between the posts. Fullback Drew from Haberdashers had some great touches but Maidstone began to dominate the second-half with patient play from their forwards allowing them to build a platform that Southwark were unable to compete with. Maidstone picked up three unanswered tries as Southwark began to tire and lose a bit of discipline.

Special mention to Stephen from St Michaels who battled hard all day, Arthur from Nautical School and Jhovani from ARK Walworth.

Despite the score spirits were high, there is a real feeling of something special happening alongside a belief that the team can go onto much greater things.

Thank you to Maidstone and their travelling support for making such an excellent occasion.

Final score 14 - 24

Two days full of rugby, fun and enjoyment! During the Easter Break Southwark Tigers has welcomed more than 70 young players for the Easter Camp run by the London Irish.

For the club, it has been the very first rugby camp ever and a great opportunity for a lot of players to stay active during the school break.

Thanks to the London Irish coaches, the players have been able to develop their rugby skills, focusing on specific rugby situations on the pitch in a learning and enjoyable environment.

Communication and teamwork have been just some of the soft skills the children have worked on during the activity, alongside the opportunity to develop their rugby background.
