Rugby Teams Head to Portugal

Truro School’s rugby trip to the Lisbon 7s was a fantastic experience, competing in both the U14 and U18 categories, our teams delivered impressive performances, with the U14s securing an outstanding overall 2nd place and the U18s finishing 11th in a highly competitive field.

Truro School were playing against teams from around the world, with Portugal, England, France and Spain represented, with guest side UR7’s academy also in attendance at the Agronomia Rugby Club complex.

Our U18s played five matches, securing two victories, while the U14s won five of their six games, narrowly missing out in the grand final.

The aim of the two-day competition was to give the players international sevens exposure, competing against different styles and philosophies of rugby, in one of the nicest rugby destinations in Europe. The standard was incredibly high on and off the field and the Truro School teams enjoyed the international competition.

Overall winners were:

U18s – Cascais Rugby, Portugal
U16s – Cascais Rugby, Portugal
U14s – Agronomia Rugby, Portugal / Truro School Runner Up

After an intense few days of competition, the teams enjoyed some well-earned downtime exploring the beautiful city of Lisbon, a perfect way to round off a memorable trip.

A huge well done to all our players for their hard work and commitment, and a big thank you to the staff who supported them throughout the tour.
