UCLanSport Rugby Union Floodlit Cup 2014

Lancaster Royal Grammar School defeated Wirral Grammar to claim the UCLanSport Rugby Union U16 Floodlit Cup 2014.

On bitterly cold night at Preston Grasshoppers RFC, Lancaster led 12-5 at the break before holding their nerve in the second half to secure a 15-8 victory.

LRGS Director of Rugby Evan Stewart said: "This is a great achievement for the boys. They have worked very hard this year and hopefully this is a sign of what is to come.

"A massive thanks must go to parents, teachers and all the other LRGS pupils who came along to support on a very wet December night. We must also say a massive thanks to the team sponsor Crofter Hotel. Their continued support is very much appreciated."

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this year's competition and helped to make it a big success.
