KHS Year 11 Rugby Team performed very well in the West Midlands Army 7s Competition, held at Barkers Butts Rugby Club on October 4th 2011. The 10 teams were split into 2 pools of 5, with KHS grouped with Shipston, St Benedicts, Campion and Woodlands. The boys started off with 3 victories against SHS, St Benedicts and Campion, only losing their final pool game to eventual winners, Woodlands.
Having finished runners-up in the group, we played the undefeated winners of the other pool, Alcester Grammar. In a pulsating game, AGS took an early lead, Kineton hit back with 2 excellent tries to lead at half-time. AGS then ran in two tries of their own to lead going into the final minute. KHS rallied magnificently and scored a length of the pitch try with the last play of normal time. The game went into a ‘Golden Try’ extra time period. Both teams were playing some excellent rugby, and created chances to score, but sadly for KHS, the score came from AGS. A harsh way for any team to lose, but the boys can be very proud of themselves for an outstanding overall performance throughout the day. Well Done!
