A Rare Sporting Achievement: Three Sets of Brothers in Eastbourne College’s 1st XV

It’s a rare and remarkable feat for a school to boast brothers from different year groups playing together in the 1st XV rugby team, but Eastbourne College has just achieved something even more extraordinary—three sets of brothers taking to the field together. Freddie (Y13) and Henry (Y11), Edward (Y13) and Harvey (Y11), and Monty (Y12) and Teddy (Y11) are a testament to the talent, dedication, and camaraderie that drive the team. This exceptional display of teamwork sees siblings united by their passion for the game, each bringing their unique skills and unwavering commitment. The bond they share on the pitch enhances the energy, skill, and competitive spirit of the team, as they make their mark in every match.

Five young male rugby players in blue and white kits, representing Eastbourne College 1st XV, stand under the rugby goalposts on a grassy pitch, with a large brick school building in the background. Six young men in matching blue and white rugby kits stand with arms folded in front of a historic stone building at Eastbourne College, representing the 1st XV. They are standing on grass, facing the camera confidently after their sporting achievement.
