LRGS is Lancashire Rugby School of the Year
Monday 7th June 2010
Following their hat-trick of victories at the Lancashire Schools Rugby Knockout Competitions earlier this year, Lancaster Royal Grammar School has been named Lancashire Rugby School of the Year. This is the second time that the school has won this prestigious award.
At an award ceremony at the Lancashire RFU Annual Dinner last week, held at Preston Grasshoppers RUFC, the Sanderson Trophy for Rugby School of the Year was presented to the representatives from LRGS by Cliff Barker, President of Lancashire RFU. In addition, he presented the captains of the LRGS U18, U15 and U14 teams with the Lancashire cups, in recognition of their comprehensive victories in the schools knockout competitions.
The school was represented by Andrew Jarman, Headmaster; Ian Whitehouse, Deputy Head and U15 coach; Jonny Millatt, U14 coach and the four winning team captains: Andrew Abraham (U18), James Warlock (U15) and Josh Hillis (U14).
Brian Bonney, Head of Rugby and Director of Sport at LRGS, was unable to attend the ceremony as he was on the Vale of Lune Spanish Rugby Tour. He said: "These successes are a fitting climax to my career at LRGS, as I am to retire in July. Rugby has been the flagship sport at the school for many years and it has been a privilege to lead so many talented coaches and players over the years. LRGS is a highly academic school, and the success of its sport elevates the standing of the school even higher, in Lancashire and nationally."
