Tappan and Burton bag awards

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

Captain Tappan, who has produced some superb displays at number eight, claimed the Paul Keddie Shield for outstanding performance, while second row Burton 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 leading 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 alumnus Ayoola Erinle, while the Captain’s Cup was awarded to hooker Caspar Kieran and the second team player of the season to Hugo Cassar.
