- Upper Sixth Former Connor selected for England Lambs National Team
- U14 team are North Devon Cup Winners
Shebbear College is celebrating the achievements of its Rugby players this week. The school, which has always had a passion and a strength for the sport, has seen Sixth Former, Connor Macmillan selected for the England Lambs U18 National Rugby Squad, as well as its U14 team win the North Devon Cup!
Connor competed at the Lambs’ Chairman’s Day as part of the South/South West Squad who played against the North and East Squads in a round robin tournament. He was selected for the National team from 80 players including boys from rugby powerhouses such as Millfield and Whitgift and will play a number of fixtures against opponents including the Irish Exiles and Crawshay Welsh Club.
Head, Caroline Kirby said, ‘Shebbear College is no stranger to the Lambs with players historically being selected to play on the team, but after a two year break due to Covid, the boys haven’t been able to enjoy the same level of training or fixtures as they have done previously so I am especially proud of Connor for this fantastic achievement!’
Meanwhile, the school’s U14 Rugby Team are the winners of the North Devon Cup following the cup final vs Braunton Academy this week. The team now go through to the County Cup semi-finals.
