Rugby at the Cheviot, which is a joint Newminster and Chantry team, is flourishing and this is evident through the number of Year 7 and 8 boys turning up to training on a weekly basis. I am sure everyone has been inspired and are buzzing from the Rugby World Cup.

Over the last few years we have had great success in growing the rugby reputation of the school and now with over 40 boys training some weeks. Mr Shaw is optimistic this reputation will continue to grow over the next year.

So far this season we have had fixtures against some top independent schools such as Newcastle School for Boys and Dame Allan’s, together with playing in some local RFU tournaments.

Over this next half of term Mr Shaw has been busy organising more fixtures to allow for as many pupils as possible to become involved.
Fixtures organised for this half term include;

• Thursday 5th November – U13 v Valley Gardens at Morpeth Rugby Club

• Wednesday 11th November – U12 & U13 v NCEA (A)

• Wednesday 25th November – U13 v Mowden Hall (A)

• Friday 27th November – U12 v Dame Allan’s at Morpeth Rugby Club

• Tuesday 8th December – U12 & U13 v Kenton High School (A)

• Thursday 10th December – U13 v Dame Allans (A)

Please note that these dates are given in good faith but may be cancelled due to the weather or other issues.

Keep up the good work, lads!
