On Friday 7th March, St Joseph’s College proudly hosted the Society of Heads U18 Sevens Rugby Tournament, bringing together schools from across the country for an evening of fast-paced, high-quality rugby. With plenty of tries, hard-fought contests, and outstanding sportsmanship on display, it was a fantastic showcase of schoolboy sevens.

A huge thank you to all the teams who took part: Shiplake College, Reading Blue Coat, Mount Kelly, Oswestry, St Felix, St Columba’s, and the RAMS Schools Academy, which brought together talented players from local state schools.
