First up for Kirkham was Hereford Cathedral School who KGS dispatched comfortably 33-0, with young players Evan Powell and Tom Giles making their debuts. The second group game proved to be a titanic struggle against Monmouth School which Kirkham eventually won 7-0 after failing to deal with the difficult conditions. For the last group game KGS faced Cheltenham College and started to gel as a seven with Teddy Leatherbarrow and Connor Doherty working hard. KGS ran out 33-0 victors which meant the faced one of England's top rugby schools Millfield. In a tense quarter final Kirkham scored two tries from hard working centre Nathan Pope and prop Sam Dugdale and managed to survive a Millfield onslaught and gain a superb victory 12-7. As the weather conditions worsened KGS forwards Jorge Lewtas, Sam Dugdale and Teddy Leatherbarrow got stronger and they dominated semi-final opponents Bryanston School in the semi-final with Connor Doherty also running in a number of tries. In the final KGS faced Whitchurch High School (a top Sports School in Wales - former pupils include Sam Warburton and Gareth Bale). Again Jorge Lewtas was the main man enjoying the conditions supported by Connor Doherty as KGS ran out winners 27-5 and regained this prestigious trophy for the first time since 2007. Jorge Lewtas also won player of the tournament. **Tags:** [2016-2017](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/2016-2017) [Sports](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/sports) - [ previous](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2017-02-25-viking-day) - [next ](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2017-03-07-aks-7s-tournaments) - [Mission Statement](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
