On Tuesday, an Under 16s team, which had a combination of Year 10 and 11, travelled to Queen Ethelburga's to lock horns for the second time this season. After a close victory for Crossley Heath last time out, QE were keen to avenge this defeat and the game started in a firm arm wrestle where both sides sought opportunities to score. Crossley Heath managed to gain a lead and despite resistance from QE, never looked back and came out 24-12 winners. There were plenty of strong performances from the Year 11 cohort and the Year 10 students punching above their weight did not look out of place.

This exciting squad will form the backbone of our First XV over the next few years. We are always looking to strengthen our rugby prowess. Our Sixth Form application deadline is in just 8 days, so if you are a keen athlete who is considering Crossley Heath please apply now to get involved! On the back of a successful 2025 taking students to Canada and Dubai, we are excited to offer our Sixth Form students further opportunities for international fixtures.
