We are proud to announce Embley’s U15 rugby team has been crowned National Bowl Champions following a commanding 40–17 victory over Richard Hale School in the Continental Tyres Schools U15 National Bowl final.
We are immensely proud of the team’s performance, not only in the final but throughout the entire season. They remained unbeaten in their Autumn term Saturday fixtures and were crowned Hampshire Schools County Champions. With 213 schools from across the country participating in this prestigious competition, emerging as champions reflects the character, commitment and outstanding ability of this team. Thank you also goes to our phenomenal Embley students, staff and parents who travelled to support the team - your energy and encouragement made all the difference.
“Yesterday was a truly historic day for Embley Sport. Our U15 rugby team produced an outstanding performance to become National Bowl Champions, and we could not be prouder of them. The boys’ dedication, teamwork, and resilience throughout the season and particularly in the final were exceptional.
What made the day even more special was the incredible support from our wider school community. Seeing so many students, staff, and parents on the touchline cheering the team on created an unforgettable atmosphere and reminded us all of the power of school spirit.
This achievement is a testament not only to the players but also to the coaching staff and everyone who has contributed to developing our rugby programme. Their guidance, expertise, and commitment have been crucial in helping the team reach this remarkable milestone. It was a perfect example of what can be achieved when talent, effort, and community come together, and it will be remembered as a proud moment in the history of Embley Sport.”Director of Sport, Mr Gareth Richards
