The Exeter College Rugby squad have beaten the Worth School in the quarter finals of the Natwest vase and are now only one game from Twickenham.

This was an entertaining game at Allianz Park this week with the college side winning 28-27, with a magnificent man of the match performance by captain and fly half Billy Searle, who certainly stole the show. Searle scored three tries, two penalties and a conversion to finish with a 23 point haul, and many spectators from Saracens, and coaches and parents from Worth School commented how this guy should definitely be playing for England under 18's!!

Second Row Brad Cooke capped a remarkable few days with a try, only three days after making his senior rugby debut in National Two with Exmouth RFC, to complete the scoring.

Searle, along with prop Matt Harris, and Second Row Matt Handford, are currently in the England South West under 18's squad, and prop Will Ellis has made the England Colleges Under 19's squad. For partially sighted Handford, this is also an unbelievable achievement!

Having only had one home game in the whole of the vase cup run, Exeter College's team has certainly done it the hard way and are now set to be on the road again in the semi final when they return to Allianz Park for the semi final on Sunday March 9th.
