A Strong Week for Clifton College at Rosslyn Park National Schools 7s

Thursday 30 April 2026

Clifton College enjoyed a fantastic week at the Rosslyn Park National Schools 7s, held at the Richardson Evans Memorial pitches in London from 23-27 March, with all teams giving their absolute best on one of the biggest stages in school rugby.

A special congratulations goes to our Boys’ U18 and Girls’ U18 squads, who both progressed to the second day of competition - a brilliant achievement and the first time in the College’s history that our U18 Girls’ team has reached this stage.

We are incredibly proud of every Clifton team that took part this year. During a particularly challenging time for the College, our pupils demonstrated integrity, pride and exceptional team spirit throughout. Their performances were full of determination, skill and resilience, with some outstanding rugby on display across all age groups.

A huge well done to all involved - a memorable week for Clifton College rugby.
