HAVING lifted the Midland Counties State Schools Under-14 Cup in its inaugural year in 1997, Prince Henry's High School repeated the feat at Sixways last week.

A handful of impressive performances saw the Evesham school earn a place in the final and a trip to the home of Worcester RUFC where they defeated Guilsborough School from Northamp-tonshire 24-7.

The squad averaged 35 points per game and conceded just three tries on the way to emulating the current Upper Sixth team.

Victory leaves them on course for a season's treble as they have reached the Worcester and District and Worcestershire County finals where they will face Chantry and Bromsgrove Schools respectively.

Their efforts have caught the eye of the county selectors with 13 of the squad having represented Worcestershire and the success has also prompted hopes of a good run in next season's Daily Mail Under-15 Cup.

Route to the final - bt Chalinor 50-0; bt Great Barr 48-0; bt South Bromsgrove 42-3; bt Minster 22-7; bt Old Swinford Hospital 27-5.
