SCHOOLS RUGBY

Cheltenham College are on course to record their first top-10 finish in the SOCS Daily mail Schools trophy.

three wins in a week have kept Cheltenham in fifth place in this national competition sponsored by the school management system SOCS.

So far the Gloucestershire team have won all nine trophy games and need one more to better last season’s mark which gained them 16th place overall.

Coached by ex-england and Gloucester full back Olly morgan, Cheltenham are among the most improved teams in the 100-strong competition having only won two games two seasons ago.

morgan puts the rise down to hard work and an ‘amazing group of players’.
