Rugby v Shiplake

A very competitive rivalry has developed between Pangbourne College and Shiplake in recent years and this Saturday proved to be no different. With the 1st XV being on the road for the first time and facing a Shiplake side with a point to prove, after losing heavily to Bloxham. The 1^st XV knew they would be in for a furious contest.

Pangbourne started the stronger and it was only a matter of minutes before an excellent pre planned move led to man of the match Hugo Harvey charging 40 metres up field. This put the Red army on the front foot and came away with a 3-0 lead courtesy of Sam Rossiter.  After absorbing some pressure from the physical Shiplake side and keeping their Fijian at bay with some excellent mid-field tackling from Doug Jefferis, Pangbourne put together the best period of play of the match. Keeping the ball for over ten phases enabled them to run their patterns and stretch the defence. This continued wave of attack was too much for them to handle and Rossiter darted his way over. He duly added the two points and Pangbourne led 10-0 at the break.

Whilst Shiplake did put together some strong phases they never looked like crossing the Pangbourne line. Sam Windsor-Lewis started to stamp his authority pinning back them back with long kicks to the corner, forcing them to run from deep. It took until mid-way through the 2^nd half until Pangbourne finally sealed the game.  After sustained pressure and once again stringing continuous phases together enabled James Baker to force his way over. Rossiter again adding the two points.

The final quarter led to a frustrated Shiplake losing their discipline and Rossiter made them pay slotting another penalty.  The final score of 20-0 was a real credit to the team. They were professional, clinical and kept their discipline throughout showing superb resilience and integrity, making them team of the week.

The 2^nd XV were victorious for the second week running in 36-7 demolition. Men of the match performances came from Harry Farrant and Rob Misson, both deserving their call up to the 1^st XV match for the remaining ten minutes, well done to them. The 3^rd XV won for the first time this season in an intense and thrilling game. Facing three fifteen man lineouts, enough to throw anyone, they squeezed out a 24-22 win.

The U16A’s & B’s enjoyed competitive matches and the score line is a massive improvement on last year. Both these teams are training very hard and it’s only a matter of time before this hard work pays off.

Other notable performances came from:

 Jack Rodgers in the U14C’s and Sasha Efimov in the U14A’s
