Windsor Stars Shine at Worcestershire County Rugby Trials

6th February 2025

We're incredibly proud to announce the outstanding achievements of two of our talented Year 10 rugby players, Faegen and Alasdair. Before Christmas, both boys were nominated for Worcestershire County U15s Rugby trials, a testament to their hard work and dedication to the sport.

Despite an initial setback with the postponement of the original trial date due to inclement weather, Faegen and Alasdair's perseverance paid off. They were both selected for the prestigious 23-man match day squad representing Worcestershire at the North Midlands RFU U15s 4 County festival held at Kidderminster RFC.

The festival provided a fantastic opportunity for the boys to test their skills against top-level competition. Worcestershire faced representative teams from Shropshire, Greater Birmingham, and Herefordshire in three hard-fought 30-minute matches. The results were as follows:

• Match 1: Worcestershire 0 - Shropshire 0
• Match 2: Worcestershire 21 - Greater Birmingham 7
• Match 3: Worcestershire 5 - Herefordshire 12

What's even more impressive is that both Faegen and Alasdair secured starting positions in the Worcestershire team and played every single minute of all three matches! Their commitment and stamina were truly remarkable.

Faegen, playing at Number 8, took on the added responsibility of captaining the team. He led by example, delivering an absolutely amazing performance and scoring two tries across the three matches. His contribution was invaluable to the team's efforts.

Alasdair also shone in his role as Openside Flanker, proving brilliant at the breakdown. His tenacity and skill in these crucial areas were a key asset to the team.

Congratulations to Faegen and Alasdair on this fantastic achievement. Representing the county is a significant honor, and their performances clearly demonstrated their talent and dedication. We look forward to following their continued success on the rugby field! Well done, boys!
