National recognition for Wisbech Grammar rugby lads

Three sixth form pupils from Wisbech Grammar School had the honour of playing for the Lambs U18 National XV this season just gone.

School 1st XV vice-captains George Dady, from Wisbech, and Will Gowler, from March, along with 1st XV captain Henry Mai, also from March, were selected to play for the Lambs Midlands Side against the other Lambs Divisional teams this season.

Following this, all three were chosen to play for the national team.

George went on to play in all five of the Lambs’ National XV fixtures, the only player to feature in all five games.

George played against the Irish Exiles, Crawshays Welsh, Bristol Academy, Nottingham Academy and Coventry Academy.

Following these performances, he was nominated for XV Rugby Schools County Team of the Year and made the Midlands team.

Will made four appearances for the Lambs National XV, playing against Irish Exiles, Crawshays Welsh, Bristol Academy and Coventry Academy.

Henry has regularly trained with, and played for, the Coventry U18s Academy side (Championship) this year and he has captained them on two occasions. He also represented the Lambs against the Irish Exiles.

Director of sport at Wisbech Grammar School Phil Webb said: “We would like to congratulate George, Will, and Henry on these incredible achievements this year.

“We would also like to thank them for the excellent contribution they have made to rugby at Wisbech Grammar School”.
