Court Moor School are the first winners of the 2017 Rhino Schools Competition, after their name was drawn from a number of initial participants. The competition, which sees the Varsity Match team up with new apparel partners Rhino to give schools the chance to win a rugby skills coaching session with the England Coaching Team at Twickenham Stadium, is running for a second year after a successful first period through last season.
“We are delighted that Court Moor School has been confirmed as the first winner of the Varsity Match Rhino Schools completion,” said Richard Bolton, Assistant Head Teacher at Court Moor School.
“The Varsity Match is a great school trip to Twickenham and our lucky students are looking forward to the match and enjoying a training session with the England coaching team.”
Schools that book trips to The Varsity Match for 20 or more pupils will be entered into a free prize draw to win one of three remaining special coaching clinics at the stadium in-between the women’s and men’s Varsity Matches on Thursday 7 December.
School girls and boys will get a taste of the national team’s approach to the game at the annual clash between Oxford and Cambridge at Twickenham on a specialist Rhino-Turf pitch with Rhino training balls and equipment.
Commenting on the initiative, Rhino CEO Reg Clark said: “We are proud to be supporting this initiative to be encouraging as many schools as possible to come and experience a Varsity Match day at Twickenham and to win an amazing experience to play with the England Coaching Team at Twickenham.”
Further winners will then be drawn and announced at the end of September, in October and November. Discounted school tickets are now available at a new lower price of £10 per junior which includes entry to both the Women’s and Men’s Varsity Matches.
