Prior Park pupils prepare to be Barbarians

Three talented boys from Prior Park Prep School in Cricklade have fought off fierce competition to be chosen to represent the South West in the Independent Prep Schools Barbarians Rugby championships.

Joe Beckett, Alex Hall and Kieran Kelly were selected from 40 boys from schools across the region. Prior Park Prep was one of only two schools represented to have three players chosen for the team. They will now meet a team from the South East in December at Millfield School in the first stage of the Barbarians competition.

Following the selection day, Kieran Kelly was named by selectors as ‘the player who stood out the most’ and was awarded with the match ball.

The three boys are all part of the Prior Park Prep School 1st XV who remain unbeaten this season. More details are available at www.priorparkschools.co.uk
