On 7th September 2024, the annual Younger vs Older Worthian Rugby match took place back at Worth as part of the Afternoon of Worthian Sport. There was a good showing this year with a mix of regulars, new players and recent leavers. The match was played with good intensity providing the regulars with excellent preparation for the league campaign. The teams traded early blows with some dominant defence from the Olders. Fresh off the back of the recent cup victory, the Olders started to play their fluent offloading game with new prop Gabriel O'Brien at the heart of this. Stalwarts, Dom Robinson, Barney Elwes and Tim Chandler led from the front with a very strong defensive display and Raph Gruber caused all sorts of problems out back. 

After a difficult first half for the Youngers, they came back strongly after half time scoring a number of tries for themselves. Some powerful running from Daniel Aghedo-Jacob tested the Olders defence and provided some good go forward. The Youngers were valiantly led by Giles Killoughery in a typically bruising display in the second row. Despite a strong showing in the second half the Youngers could not bridge the gap. Another win for the Olders with a convincing 53-21 victory. We then all headed down to the Austin Oval for the prizegiving and to join in the School's Welcome Festival with a few beers.
