Ryan Bresnahan Memorial Match 2023

The pinnacle of many pupils’ rugby season will be the selection into their team to play in the Ryan Bresnahan memorial match.

The Clifton A teams set the tone with each of the matches showing how challenging and closely matched the oppositions were.

The first XV match did not disappoint, a superb performance from the Millfield team set the pace and had Clifton chasing for most of the game. Opportunities for Clifton to get into the Millfield half were limited but the boys were efficient and always came away with a score.

A game of tension, pressure and adversity meant all the Clifton players had to dig deep to find the energy to create the final play.

It was the 70th minute and Clifton still trialled, movements of brilliant athleticism from Archie and Tom did enough for the final play to create an opportunity and the boys finished with a truly magical score.

The evening was full of excitement and another outstanding spectacle of sport and apt finish all in memory of Ryan Bresnahan.
