On 2 March the 141st Men’s Varsity Rugby match was held between Oxford and Cambridge. Cambridge comfortably beat Oxford 56-11 at StoneX Stadium in Barnet, north London.

Old Pauline Archie King (at Paul’s 2012-14) played at five-eight for Oxford and during the tough game Archie kicked a penalty goal straight through the posts. Easts Rugby still considers Archie one of there own and mentioned his achievement on their Facebook feed.

As a result of this match Archie received his Oxford Blue in Rugby.

Another old Pauline Rory Marples (2011-14) played for Oxford in second grade. For both Rory and Archie these are outstanding achievements.
