BISHOP'S School under-15 rugby side have returned from a highly successful tour to Canada with the unusual honour of being champions of British Columbia.

An undefeated tour for their A team culminated in an appearance in the British Columbia Under-16 Championships, where they beat Merolomas in the final 17-5 to take the title.

However, for obvious reasons they were not allowed to take the winners' trophy back to Hereford.

They previously beat Chilliwack 5-0 in the semi-final, while their other games all ended in victory - 76-12 against Yale, 29-14 at Abbotsford and 27-0 over Charles Best.

Players of the tour were hooker Jabs Greasley and back-row forward Nick Harrison, both of the A side, while most improved players were B team members Ed Fox and Lisle Edwards.
