Congratulations to our sub-14 squad for doing so well in the National 13-a-side
competition, in which they finished as runners-up with an impressive return of
played 14 games, won 11, drew 2 and lost 1.
This is a fantastic record in a league that includes all the top clubs in the
country, and indeed the highest classification that any of our teams have
achieved since our foundataion in 2006.
In the final round of games in Coimbra, the team secured winds against Técnico
and Académica to set up a championship decider against a very strong Direito
side that, in the end, proved to be a bridge too far.
It was certainly an exciting end to an extraordinary three months of Rugby for
our players in this age-group, which reflect superbly well not only on the
talent, commitment and spirit found within the sub-14 squad, but also on the
skill and passion of the sub-14 coaching team of Pedro Vital and Lorne King.
Many thanks to all the support that has been provided by parents throughout the
season and especially to those who travelled to Coimbra to support the team in
their final round and to Margarida Almeida for laying on the team-building stay
at Hotel Aldeia de Capuchos.
Thanks also to Rui Ténorio for these photos from a memorable day in Coimbra:
