Big day at Hilton
Michaelhouse went down from Balgowan to Hilton for their annual derby, always a huge day. This time Hilton won 42-12, an unusually big score. The report is from Hilton.
On a warm balmy Saturday afternoon on a packed Gilfillan field (approximately 8 000 people) the first of the Hilton- Michaelhouse clashes this year took place.
It was a wonderful occasion and celebration of fine school rugby from the Under-14D till the 1st XV. In total 20 rugby matches were played in wonderful spirit which epitomise what school boy sport is, and should be about.
On the day in the 1st XV match Hilton were worthy winners.
As part of an initiative by two Hilton boys, Michael Salgado (Head of School) and Matt Holding, each boy wore a pink armband in support of PinkDrive for breast cancer awareness. All the boys also had pink ribbons on their blazers to support this fine cause. Many of the spectators also showed their support by wearing pink!
