QEH Rugby

The Senior Rugby Dinner was held on Friday, bringing together 180 staff, parents, and pupils to celebrate an enjoyable and successful season. We were delighted to welcome Jake Heenan, Bristol Bears’ dynamic back-rower, as our guest of honour. He kicked off the evening with an inspiring speech that set the tone for the awards ceremony.

The evening continued with heartfelt speeches from the captains and coaches of the U16 B & A teams, the 2nd XV, and the 1st XV, reflecting on the highlights of their season.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the dinner, with special appreciation to our guest of honour, Jake Heenan, for making the evening so memorable.

To all the players who proudly wore the QEH jersey last season, your dedication and hard work have not gone unnoticed—thank you for everything you’ve given to the team.

Finally, to our Year 13s: your incredible journey with us has come to an end. It’s been an unforgettable ride, and we’re so grateful for all you’ve contributed. Thank you, boys—it’s been a blast!

The inaugural 'Dave Perkins Memorial Game' was a great success, with a strong Bristol Schools XV just pipping QEH 1st XV 12-17 in a thrilling game that went right down to the wire.
A big thank you to everyone who came along to support the event.
We look forward to growing this event in future years

This thursday evening we have the inaugural 'Dave Perkins Memorial Match' up at Failand, in which our 1st XV will be taking on a Bristol Schools XV.

Dave was the Father of Bristol Rugby back in the day, known by all across the city. He sat on every board (was chairman of several) and was an ever presence on the touchline, ready to give his analysis to anyone who would listen post match at the bar

It is such pleasure to host this game in his memory. Hopefully the first of many.....

All are welcome to come and watch.

Thank you

Some great snaps of the 1st XV impressive win against BGS taken by Mr Amor.
