COLTS DUO CLAIM ORATORY AWARDS

COLTS Cian Tappan and Charlie Burton took the top two awards as The Oratory School hosted their annual Rugby Club Dinner on Saturday.

Captain Cian, who has produced some superb performances at No. 8, claimed the Paul Keddie Shield for outstanding performance, while second row Charlie won the Tom Hennessy Shield for demonstrating the values of the school and rugby club.

The MacRae Award – donated by the family of current Rams’ hooker Morgan to recognise the outstanding Lower Sixth performer – went to Rudi Derbyshire, the blind-side flanker who grabbed a hat-trick under the Old Bath Road floodlights against Pangbourne College last month.

The guest speaker was former England international and Oratory Alumni Ayoola Erinle.
