Earlier this week, both our Year 7 & 8 Boys Rugby teams competed in their COUNTY CUP SEMI-FINALS, both against Dowdales School from Dalton in Furness. 

Our Year 8 rugby squad were victorious against Dowdales School in their match. 

It was a hard fought 12 – 8 victory on a very, very heavy field which sees our Year 8 squad through to the COUNTY CUP FINAL as well as entrance to the NATIONAL CUP Competition.

The lads were quite rightly delighted and put up a stern defensive effort against a well built Dowdales attack who were ranked Barrow seed 1 heading into the SEMI-FINAL.

Mr Harrison said:
“𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘰𝘧𝘧. 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘺𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘭𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴.”

Last week, our Year 9 Boys’ Rugby team produced a remarkable comeback to defeat Furness Academy in a thrilling golden point finish, showing resilience, teamwork and real belief under pressure.

The match did not start in our favour. Furness Academy came out strong, applying early pressure and capitalising on defensive lapses to race into a 12–0 lead. For a period, St Benedict’s struggled to gain territory and momentum, with Furness controlling possession and setting the tempo.

However, the response from St Benedict’s was outstanding. Strong tackling, improved breakdown work and smarter use of the ball allowed them to work their way back into the game. A well-earned try shifted the momentum, lifting confidence across the team, before a second score levelled the match and set up a tense finale.

With the scores tied at full time, the match went to golden point. Both teams pushed hard, but it was St Benedict’s who held their nerve. Sustained pressure and disciplined play created the opportunity for the winning score, sealing a dramatic victory and completing an unforgettable comeback from 12–0 down.
