Devon school triumphs in newly sponsored rugby kit

Stags' sponsorship of the Uffculme School Under-16s Rugby Team led to instant success on the pitch!

Stags has sponsored the Uffculme School Under-15s Rugby Team, providing the team with a smart new match strip.

No sooner had they received their new team kit, the Uffculme boys went on to win the Devon Schools Under-15s Rugby Cup final, beating Ivybridge 21-14.

Tries came from Joe Bobba, Max Thorne and Will Tomlin and Harvey Sanders kicked three successful conversions.

“We are delighted to support such a committed and hard-working rugby team,” said Ashton Greed of Stags Wellington office, which sponsored the kit. “They thoroughly deserve their success and we wish the school team well for next season.”

In the previous rounds Uffculme’s Under 15s have beaten Queen Elizabeth’s School Crediton, St Peter’s School Exeter, Exeter School and Park School.

This achievement came in addition to reaching the Quarter Finals of the NatWest Schools Vase competition, played at Bath Rugby's Recreation Ground, where they narrowly lost to finalists Beechen Cliff School.

Captain Harrison Sime along with Ben Bingham have both been selected to represent Exeter Chiefs Academy with five more boys from Uffculme School joining them in the Devon County Squad: Harry Washington, Kai Clayton, Arthur Eckersley-Hope, Toby Redwood and Yosse Mason.
